Northern Portugal
A small family-run nature campsite in the Serra da Cabreira mountains of northern Portugal.
Why we love it
The Serra da Cabreira is inland northern Portugal — granite, terraces, and villages emptying out — and it gets a fraction of the visitors that the Gerês park to the north does. Quinta Rural is small, family-run, and combines camping with a handful of glamping units and a working smallholding.
The north is green, wet and cool by Portuguese standards, which makes it the sensible half of the country in July.
Best for: mountains rather than coast, and a site you can walk across in a minute
Worth knowing
- Caravans and medium or large motorhomes cannot get on to the terrain at all.
- Nobody is on a desk: unannounced arrivals are not accepted, the pitches can only be booked by email, and the bar runs on an honesty list.
The practicalities
- Included
- Warm showers, with no coins
- Spring water from the farm's own mountain source
- Free parking at the front of the farm
- Pitch, people and a side area for gear in the camping rate
- Some electricity points for light use — chargers, lamps, cool boxes
Getting there
- Nearest station
- Guimarães — 32.1 miles
- Without a car
- Difficult, but possible
The farm sits at 865 metres on the edge of the Serra da Cabreira, just outside a near-abandoned medieval village. The owners point drivers at the route from exit 12, Arco de Baulhe / Cabeceiras de Basto.

Who runs it
Natascha and Tiago
A family-run nature retreat: in the owners' own words, "you'll be welcomed by the two of us, Natascha, my 2015 son Tiago (and some horses, dogs, cats & whatever the cat dragged in)". Every guest accommodation on the estate was conceived, built or renovated by them.
