Do I have to book a place for a tent at a campsite in Portugal?

In July I plan to go to Portugal (I plan to spend this time in Faro and vicinity). I want to sleep in a tent at campsites. This will be a small, two-person tent. Do I have to book campsites in advance or can I hope that whenever I come to a campsite there will always be a place to pitch my tent?

Best Answer

Sure, there are plenty of campings in Algarve. You can check here or here.

You should at least contact the camping to know it's avalability. That's the best I can say.

Please after you travel tell us here about your experience. Enjoy!
