We spent the night there peacefully, at the end of a dead-end road. We passed through with a van 2.8 m high. We met a few fishermen who did not stay overnight. Negative point: the place was dirty when we arrived, so we picked up an entire garbage bag of waste.Translating
Access is really easy; the place, frequented by fishermen and other visitors, is a little dirty. The ground is gently sloping throughout almost the whole area. We had an unpleasant experience with a local who behaved unacceptably while bathing next to us. I want to think it was an isolated incident, but I am mentioning it in case it is recurrent.Translating
Very good spot for spending a night. Quiet. Not many flat spaces, but a slight slope still allows you to sleep well.Translating
Very nice, quiet place, well suited for spending the night.Translating
Beautiful spot! We couldn't find any flat area but you can find spaces that are almost flat. Our van is 3.1m tall and we just fit under the tree brench to enter the spot (so 2.2m isn't correct). A few fisherman during the day but very quiet and peaceful and night. No mozzies but it's not the time of year for those.
We spent one night in this nature park, very close to the Minutos dam. The park is used for picnics and environmental awareness is sometimes forgotten, as there is some litter and toilet paper from people relieving themselves outdoors. It is safe, has no services but does have shade. The dam water is dark and there are many stones. Access is limited to vehicles under 2.80 m because of a tree.Translating
Beautiful place; we spent two days and two wonderfully peaceful, relaxing nights with a view of the lake, a beautiful sunrise, some fishermen, people coming and going, many birds, pigs and fish. Highly recommended.Translating
We stayed here last night - there were a couple of vans in the ‘proper’ carpark and then a few fishermen staying in tents with cars further towards the water. Overall, it was a great spot and we felt safe. However, there were lots of flies and the ground could get very muddy when wet. Some people also arrived later on and played music loudly but they left after about 30 mins.
Very quiet spot with plenty of space. Natural surroundings and a beautiful view in the morning. Good for getting away from Évora and finding some peace. We had an undisturbed night; we parked beyond the bridge on the grass.Translating
