Read moreYes, you can stay here and enjoy it! That’s my personal relieve after reading the many bad reviews. I like to think, for all parties, that obidos took the right measures. Or I was lucky or the others unlucky. Most likely it is a mix of all.
However let’s deep dive a bit. Service was great, two „younger“ personnel was super helpful and overly friendly at all times! And really at all.

They correctly pointed to all facilities and also knew, which ones were freshly renovated. Here also, the „renovated“ bathroom is everything that you can ask for. Plenty of clean and modern toilets and showers without any smell. The pool is good, the shop has all basic supplies at good cost. Also the guy running it was helpful. The restaurant did not look like one where I would eat, but there are great restaurants around!
My highlight are the pitches. There is really something for everyone. Small, big, fenced, free, in the shades or in the sun. And the permanent campers next to me where super friendly! I also didn’t have the mentioned problem that all good ones were taken. In my experience the fluctuation is so high, that it’s only a matter of one night to be able to move again.
Well that’s it! Good place overall, with some areas of improvement. The area itself is breathtaking! We came here with...
