Admittedly, camping parks emerge as a more economical alternative to traditional hotels. Still, there are more and more camping parks that seek to offer guests conditions that resemble those of a hotel. This is what happens, for example, with the one who was elected the best campsite in Portugal, where the classic tents can be replaced by Bungalows or even apartments.
International recognition in the campsite sector
Vizir Beach Village, located in Porto Covo, was recently distinguished as the best camping park in Portugal in 2025. The distinction was attributed by the Auto Camper Service International (ACSI), one of Europe’s most respected entities in the camping sector.
The selection was based on votes of thousands of European campers who participated in choosing the best parks on the continent. This direct vote reinforces the recognition of the positive experience offered by this tourist space on the Alentejo coast.
Park Administration Declarations
“This prize, attributed by direct vote of campers from all over Europe, makes us deeply proud. It is a great honor to see our work recognized by those who really live the experience in our park!” Said José A. Costa, CEO of Costa do Vizir, after the release of the award.
Situated just five minutes walk from Praia Grande, one of the best known in the region, the park offers several accommodation options.
According to the portal, visitors can choose from bungalows, tents, autocaravans or apartments with balcony, adapting to different travelers profiles.
Modern infrastructures and quality services
The park stands out for the combination of privileged location with quality infrastructure. According to the EuroCaming portal, Vizir Costa has “modern facilities, outdoor pool, restaurant and well -groomed green zones”.
The Alma Nómada restaurant, inserted in the park, is led by chef Marco Nascimento, which presents a gastronomic proposal based on the Alentejo cuisine, with international influences. The menu also offers vegetarian options, integrating in a varied and inclusive offer.

In addition to the amenities and proximity to the beach, the park is part of the Vicentina Route, one of the most recognized pedestrian rail chains in Europe. This route gives visitors the possibility of walking through cliffs, covers and flowering fields.
Diversified bathing
The diversity of beaches around Porto Covo is also one of the strengths of the region. There are calmer bathing zones, suitable for families, as well as beaches with better conditions for surfing and other water activities.
