In 2025, Portugal stands out as one of the most affordable and appealing camping destinations in Europe, according to the analysis by camping.info. With average overnight prices at €23.97, Portugal remains well below the European average, offering excellent value – despite a 7.34% increase from last year.

The average price includes accommodation for two people, a pitch, a caravan, a car, electricity, and local taxes. Compared to high-cost countries like Italy and Croatia (both at €40.40) or Switzerland (€39.23), Portugal’s pricing makes it an especially attractive option for budget-conscious travelers who still want beautiful landscapes, warm weather, and reliable infrastructure.

Leading the way in Portugal is Camping Algarve Moncarapacho, named the country’s most popular campsite of 2025. Nestled in the scenic Algarve region, the site is praised for its relaxed atmosphere, excellent amenities, and close proximity to both the coast and traditional Portuguese villages. It’s a strong choice for campers looking to enjoy southern Portugal’s charm without breaking the bank.

camping.info’s Managing Director, Maximilian Möhrle, encourages travelers to explore beyond their typical tourist hotspots. “Camping still offers great value for money. If you’re traveling on a tighter budget, look for sites away from the well-known tourist hotspots.”


With a growing reputation for quality campsites, friendly prices, and natural beauty, Portugal continues to build on its appeal as a top-tier camping destination in Europe. Whether you're drawn to the Algarve’s beaches, the rugged interior, or the historic north, camping in Portugal in 2025 offers a rewarding and affordable escape.
