Match your choice to your party: with young children a pool, entertainment and a fenced play area are welcome, while for peace you're better off at a smaller or more secluded site. Travelling with a dog, check the pet policy in advance.

Which amenities should you check?

Before you book, it pays to compare amenities. In Coimbra the key ones are clean sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or shop, and for families a pool with paddling area, playground and entertainment. Every detail page shows what's there.

Consider the kind of pitch too. A spacious comfort pitch with its own sanitary facilities adds convenience at a higher price, while a nature pitch is cheaper and quieter. For motorhomes, a service point and enough power matter.
