Camping Serro da Bica

General information

from 58 reviews Write review

Campismo Serro da Bica provides a good holiday location for hikers, bird-watchers and nature lovers in Alentejo, Portugal. The campsite is close to the city of Ourique (11 km), known for its local delicacy ‘Black Pork’. It is a campsite that embraces simplicity, with various pitches among the hills. Trees provide the necessary shade but, to really cool off, go to the nearby Rio Mira river.

Back to the basics

At this campsite, you really go ‘back to the basics’ with your own camping equipment. The pitches are distributed over a hilly area, giving you a choice between a spot in the sun or under the shade of a tree. The pitches are simple but neat and have the necessary connections.

Although the campsite focuses on a rustic experience, it does not lack the most essential amenities. The sanitary facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the pathways are paved.

Connection with nature

On the other side of the hill is the Rio Mira, a river that winds through the green landscape and flows into the Santa Clara reservoir some 20 kilometres further. Cast your line out into this river or lay your towel on its banks or go for a swim.

Alentejo is known for its beautiful natural environment: from glowing hills to thick wooded areas and from vast plains to swamps. It is a true paradise for many species of birds. Around the campsite you will spot bee-eaters, blue magpies, long-legged buzzards, storks, flamingos and vultures.

A beautiful countryside campsite. Exceptionally clean showers and loos with thoughtful and well maintained grounds. There are wonderful walks right from your pitch, with swimming and fishing in the river that is a 5min walk away. During Lockdown we came for a couple of weeks and ended up staying for 8 months!
We now return every year for Christmas & New Year.

This is a very special campsite, like no other we have stayed at, peaceful and completely in nature with walks and cycle routes straight from the campsite, the owners are fabulous and nothing is too much trouble is you need help or local recommendations. We have returned twice and will,come back again later this year we hope

We spent 10 weeks here during covid lockdown. Owners could not have done more to keep us safe made sure we all had everything we needed. Set in countryside just minutes walk from River Mira there can be few better sites. We are booked for next year.
