Rua do Vau, 3270, Pedrógão Grande
Been here?
A parking area beside the Cabril dam with beautiful lake views, a picnic and barbecue area, and access to swimming in the lake. The available parking spaces are not flat, and some are steep; the previously marked area may be closed or reserved by the restaurant. A small restaurant and nearby cafés provide facilities, with a generator sometimes causing noise. Outside the season, nights are very quiet, while daytime visitors and weekend activity can increase.

The indicated parking area was closed off by the restaurant. A few meters farther down the street you can also park with a view of the lake. Note: the parking spaces are not level. We were alone and it was very quiet.Translating
Beautiful view of the dam. Friendly little restaurant, but with a somewhat noisy generator. Unfortunately, the only level parking spaces are directly in the line of sight of the restaurant's customers. The others are very steep. In the end, we did not stay so as not to block everyone's view...Translating
Very quiet place even though it is beside the road. We spent the night there in absolute peace. A small restaurant is located in the parking area and was open on Saturday evening. Great for spending a night.Translating
Quiet night with a good view! In the morning, a van came by selling bread and pastries. There are bathrooms and cafés/restaurants nearby.Translating
The spot is pretty but the road passes right in front too bad. The parking lot was reserved so I put myself a little after, before the old restaurant closed. Ok for one night
Fantastic location for one night. You can park close to the abandoned restaurant with a beautiful view of the lake. Fifty meters farther on there are bars, a great pizzeria, and other street food. To top it all off, there is a swimming area in the lake!Translating
At the very end of the road, a beautiful flat esplanade with a 180° view of the lake. Sunrise and sunset. A small water point. A perfectly quiet night. All the shops, snack bars, and restaurants are closed.Translating
Access by navigation is currently closed due to rockfall, but access through the village is possible. At weekends people barbecue and celebrate there, but everything is within perfectly normal limits. Quiet night with a magnificent view!Translating
A very pleasant place outside the season. People stop to take photos of the reservoir because it has not had this much water in years. The water temperature was cool but pleasant for a swim. We stayed here with two motorhomes. It is probably very busy with visitors to the restaurants during the season.Translating
Lovely place to stay for the night overlooking the dam lake. Bins and a water tap near the snack bar. River beach and picnic area. plenty of cars visiting until 8.00pm then very quiet.
Very good outside the season. (Snack bar closed) In my opinion, definitely do not come here in the middle of the season!Translating
Stayed overnight in a beautiful and quiet spot by the dam. The campsite farther on was closed, so we stayed here.Translating
Great spot, very beautiful view! We spent a pleasant, quiet night there; another camper was there. We could not find any toilets and the bar was closed.Translating
A nice and quiet place to spend the night. Swimming area and two bars around the corner. Very quiet at night. There are no other facilities such as toilets or showers.Translating
