Rua da Praia Fluvial, 4710, Adaúfe
Been here?
This riverside leisure-centre parking area is suitable for daytime swimming and relaxing, with shade, barbecues, a bar and toilets reported nearby. Recent overnight experiences were poor because of very loud barking dogs, frequent local vehicles and people watching the vans. The area can be pleasant during the day, but overnight stays are not recommended.

Parked to the left open space being constructed. Good spot for a dip in the river and move on. Barking dogs, too many locals driving in and out. Moved on to another place for the night
Beautiful location, away from the road, but apparently there is an animal shelter nearby with loudly barking dogs. We drove on.
We parked on the left side of the car park and it seemed to be a very quiet and chill night. However, we did end up leaving and staying somewhere else for the night. There were some sketchy people, one of the cars kept parking right next to us and looked into our van, he did this about 6 times before we decided to leave. Would not recommend eventough the area seems nice.
We do not recommend it for spending the night. Very noisy, with cars constantly passing and stopping, and many people staring. Fine for leaving the vehicle during the day!
Good place to spend the night. We spent the afternoon escaping the heat, took a swim in the river—the area is very well equipped with toilets, a bar, lots of shade, and more—and then cooked dinner at the barbecues, which are equipped with grills. Everything was really good. At night there is no noise, at least we did not notice any.
I slept in the large dirt parking area along the river. A quiet, restful night. In the morning, I walked through the park: there were trash bins everywhere but also lots of rubbish on the ground. The toilets? I came straight back out. As for the view, nothing special. The only advantages are the water park, barbecues, volleyball court, exercise machines, and a snack bar.
It seems like a good place to park and spend the night. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of uncollected rubbish and, above all, perverted onlookers who walk around looking into every car and van. You do not feel at ease.
A little paradise, but there is a lot of coming and going by cars during the day in the parking area. Unfortunately, there is also rubbish everywhere nearby, like in France 50 years ago—shoes, refrigerators, cookers, plastic, etc.
Spectacular, we slept wonderfully.
Beautiful view of the lake, popular with barbecues available and a water park. Worth visiting.
A great place to spend enjoyable moments. There is a bathroom cleaned daily, and you can get water with bottles. Excellent for people with small children who enjoy refreshing water and tranquility, with many water toys for rent as well as a restaurant. As a parking area, rating 5. Very busy. If you are looking for peace and quiet in summer, forget it—this will not be the place.
The barking dogs are extremely loud and earplugs are not enough. Place is packed with people, cars and dirtbikes on summer weekend.
Before summer, very good. No houses. In summer, lots of cars, but good for the night.
We have just spent a very peaceful night once the kennel dogs had gone inside, from midnight to 9 a.m. During the day in August, it is a popular picnic spot for local people, but without excessive disturbance. You can cycle along the river to the town of Prado.
