Site No 202 - Camping Moncarapacho

This new (opened spring 2016) site has very easy access to all parts of the Algarve via the toll A22 or the toll free N125 both of which run from the Spanish border in the east to Lagos and beyond in the west. It is owned and run by a young and very enthusiastic French couple who have built everything on site from facilities blocks to electric hook ups to cafe and reception with their own busy hands.

The power supply is generally 6 amp but 10 amp is available at a very small extra charge (€0.50 per day) sadly until the supply system is complete, which should be quite soon, it is a little unreliable and prone to short outages.

The facilities are as stated above new and kept spotlessly clean with loo paper, soap and paper hand towels all provided

It should be a perfect site but for two things 

             1. Local dogs that like to bark 24/7. One that lived in a house that overlooked our pitch gets up on the roof and runs up and down the tiles yapping for hours on end

              2. The attitude of the French contingent on the site, the Dutch, the German every other nation on site was very pleasant but for some reason the French were rude, arrogant and generally unpleasant. When we left we gave our reasons for leaving early the lady owner said she sometime despaired of her countrymen.

We will not return and don’t feel despite lots of positives that we could recommend this site.
