I know of a location in Praia de Rocha, Portimao where a get together might interest some Funsters.

The place in my mind is not a fully fledged campsite in so much as it does not have a shower/toilet block nor electricity but it does have the following advantages...

1. Lots of space on different surfaces, tarmac, gravel or gravel/grass mix.

2. Water.

3. Cassette emptying.

4. Dog friendly.

5. Very close to huge beach and marina.

6. Close to shops, restaurants and bars.

7. A small onsite bar/snack bar/restaurant.

8. Free internet (speed variable).

9. Very affordable. (€2.50 per day, €2 for 110 litres of water).

10. A short drive to supermarkets, GPL and Burger Ranch.



Here are some details from my first post.

There are some photos somewhere too.

Keith has kindly posted the co-ordinates on the thread too.

I will be here from the start of February. (I am here now but am about to head off to Zahora for the Funster Joint Celebrity VIP Birthday Bash... The social event of the year. :thumb

One or two Funsters are here now too and several more are in better equipped sites nearby.

The informal gathering is just that... informal.

Motorhomes offer us great flexibility and the "Gathering" takes advantage of this.

If you are in the area and choose to, drop in... check it out... say hello... stay a while and/or move on.

Any specific questions... just ask away... :thumb:


JJ :Cool:



PS. Date of "Gathering"... February 2014.

PPS. If anyone wants to list the dates they are thinking of coming please feel free to do so... but no pre booking is required.


1. JJ. February.

My sources tell me that part of the Silves parking place has been closed to motorhomes.

This could explain why there has been an influx of vans here at Praia de Rocha in the last couple of days.

There are still spaces on the tarmac area and the gravel area but only here and there. People come and go every day so is changes constantly.

Visiting Funsters who want to park in a gang are probably going to have to come to where I am, on the grass/gravel area.

The sun and breeze are drying it out nicely. :thumb:

JJ :Cool:

Broken Link Removed

(Mine is that beautiful, old classic Hymer...)

[keith]

We are at Silves at Quinta do Soberieo, and the parking area has not been closed by the swimming pool, but the Burger Ranch has been closed for now.

 

[JJ]

Yep Keith...

My sources were correct then!

And I understand they are going to make a charge for staying on that gym car park sometime in the future... just like at the port in Vila Real.

Makes sense to me.

 

[Wyaye wires]

JJ just to update you on our estimated arrival. It now looks as if it will be sometime towards the end of the second week of February, due to sickly pup; who is now better. We set off on Monday down to Folkstone. :thumb:

 

[Sundowners]

We will definitely be there on the 3rd., might arrive late on the 2nd, depends on what's going on here at Pedros. Grass is OK for us, we prefer the space.

I should think so... I love toffee! :thumb:

JJ :Cool:

 

[lugnutt]

could you pm me a route as you have done it loads of times and i havernt

 

[JJ]

Don't think I can be much help with your route.

I used to use different routes depending on the time I had and what time of year it was and who I was visiting on the way.

Don't do the trip very often these days.

What about asking Mr Tom Tom?

JJ :Cool:

 

[Sundowners]

Nigel and Pamala

 

[old-mo]
