Camping Serrão

Camping Serrão offers a peaceful mountain camping experience in the heart of Portugal's highest mountain range, the Serra da Estrela. Located near the town of Seia, this campground provides a base for exploring the dramatic granite landscapes, glacial valleys, and traditional schist villages that define this protected natural park. The altitude brings cooler temperatures even in summer, making it a welcome retreat from the heat of the lowlands.

The pitches at Camping Serrão are set in a tranquil valley surrounded by wooded slopes and mountain streams. The site is well-maintained with clean sanitary facilities and electric hookups. The on-site restaurant serves hearty Portuguese mountain cuisine, including the famous Serra da Estrela grilled meats and local cheeses. The bar is a cosy spot to relax after a day of exploration, and the family running the site are known for their warm hospitality and local knowledge.

The Serra da Estrela region offers outstanding outdoor activities. The nearby Torre summit, at 1,993 metres, is mainland Portugal's highest point, reached by scenic drives or challenging hikes. The Zêzere Glacier Valley provides some of the most impressive landscapes in the country, with dramatic U-shaped valleys and crystal-clear mountain streams. Traditional villages like Linhares da Beira and Piódão showcase the region's architectural heritage. Camping Serrão is an ideal choice for campers seeking nature, tranquillity, and mountain adventure in Portugal's magnificent interior.
