7500, Santiago do Cacém
Been here?
A quiet overnight spot beside a small church opposite Badoca Safari Park, with a large parking area and some shade under pine trees. The ground is generally inclined, and there may be occasional night traffic and vehicle movement from around 8:00. There are no services, but the safari park is very close and animals may be heard at night.

Quiet spot, but somewhat difficult to get perfectly level. Some traffic at night (including the GNR, but they did not say anything), and around 8:00 the park employees drive along the road to park farther away. Calm and safe place; we were alone. Recommended :)Translating
It is a good place to camp in a tent, very quiet... The dirt parking area is huge! Be careful not to take the wrong one... The first parking area is for safari visitors and is a little farther away... You can hear cars passing in the morning, but it did not bother us... Translating
Excellent location for those who want to visit Badoca Park first thing in the morning. We spent a peaceful night. Clean place. I recommend it.Translating
Great place around the church near the park... lots of birds in the morning... I recommend it.Translating
Extremely quiet. After the safari park closed on Saturday, I was alone. Sunday morning was also calm, with people beginning to park near the entrance. The bays slope in every direction, but I found one that was reasonably level.Translating
Location next to the church, steep and difficult to level, no services, just for overnight stays. Very close to Badoca Park.Translating
We stayed there for one night; there is room for several campers. The access road is quite busy, but it did not bother us.Translating
Very beautiful and quiet. To the right of the church you can stand somewhat hidden under pine trees.Translating
Good place for the night. However, be sure to approach from the large main road (go through the construction site, it is possible!), because the alternative route consists of loose rocks and sand. We got stuck and had to be pulled out by a tractor from the safari park.Translating
Very peaceful night, and we managed to shelter from the wind because we sleep in a rooftop tent. Perfect for a stop along the way. No traffic in the morning in November.Translating
Pleasant, quiet place. Despite the roadworks, there was no problem accessing it.Translating
Lovely quiet place. Parking area of a small chapel. It is sloped, but quiet and shaded under a pine forest. Beware of mosquitoes at dusk and pine cones falling onto the vehicle. Very easy access via the safari park.Translating
Great for spending the late afternoon and evening once the park closes. In the morning, cars begin arriving for the zoo and it becomes quite busy.Translating
Quiet place surrounded by beautiful nature. The approach is somewhat difficult, so caution is required. The parking area fills up from morning onwards, but it remains reasonably quiet. Under the trees, the shade keeps it pleasantly cool in the morning too. We can only recommend this place :)Translating
We spent one night there; several spaces are available for several vans. Shaded, with the added bonus of a small chapel next door.Translating
Poor access. After leaving the main road, the track gets worse until it becomes impassable. Our motorhome got stuck. We had to turn back.Translating
Good choice; you can easily park under trees that provide shade in the morning. Recommended for an overnight stay if passing through Sines. Too bad the navigator’s directions are unclear because of the roadworks nearby; to reach it, follow the signs for Safari Park.Translating
Pleasant, clean parking area without services next to a chapel. It has shaded areas. Although we did not know about it, we took advantage of our stay to visit the Safari Park, which we really enjoyed. Thanks to the municipality of Santiago do Cacém for creating and maintaining this space.Translating
Great quiet place to spend the night, after cleaning up the area (the usual toilet paper, wipes and cigarette butts, but more surprisingly, a bath towel with excrement underneath :( !!), even though there is a bin 50 m away! Thanks in advance to those who, like us, will make their small contribution ;)Translating
We slept here overnight. There is no lighting, so the stars are beautiful. It was silent; cars passed nearby in the morning, but that was insignificant. Recommended.Translating
A peaceful night up high under the pines. The police came by at 2 a.m. but did not make me leave. I left at 8 a.m. without being disturbed. I did not see a bin. A few bits of paper and bottles... nothing too bad; I have seen worse.
We slept near the animal park. The night was very quiet, but currently the road not far away is under construction, so we were woken around 8 a.m. Otherwise, a good spot.
I am not a confident driver, so I did not continue because the sandy sections looked likely to trap the vehicle. From a distance, it appeared to be a lovely place to stay.
Very quiet place, a little difficult to access by road but wonderfully peaceful.
A more or less quiet and somewhat secluded place. Watch out for Google Maps directions, as it may send you along very difficult sandy tracks to get there... It caught me out! ...once again...
Quiet place next to a safari park. At night you can hear the animals. There is a rather picturesque church, with space to park around it and enjoy some peace and quiet. We got up late and nobody bothered us.
Perfect place to spend the night and enjoy some peace and quiet. We slept there for 3 nights and had no problems. The nights were very quiet. Highly recommended :)
Ideal spot for the night, quiet, no traffic, under the pines. We had a lovely evening and a good night’s sleep. The ‘cries’ of the park animals lulled us to sleep. Around 8:00 the park employees gradually arrive, but there is no problem. I recommend it.
Excellent spot! Quiet, not a sound at night. Previous comments mention people arriving at Badoca Park in the morning; if you park on the other side of the small chapel, you cannot hear them. We had a great night!
Very quiet. Not necessarily very clean.
Very nice spot. We were parked among the umbrella pines, sheltered from the sun, with a pretty chapel right next door. Perfect for a peaceful night.
Quiet until 8:00 a.m., when the employees start arriving. Shaded, with plenty of parking space. Bin available.
