Campervans are very increasingly popular as a means to discover the Algarve and at the same time they contribute to the economy of the region. To better serve these tourists and to discourage illegal camping, the Algarve now announced several extra parks to accommodate motorhomes.
The one in São Bartolomeu de Messines is almost ready and the one in São Marcos da Serra is under construction and will be ready in approximately 4 months.
Furthermore there is one realized in Portimão near the N125, one in Vila do Bispo near the fortress of Sagres and another one on the west coast between Aljezur and Lagos. Then there is a new one near Tavira (Cachopa).
