Been here?
This large parking area beside a riverside picnic park has water, shaded benches, barbecue facilities, a playground, outdoor gym and river walks with birds. Recent visitors found it relatively calm and suitable for an overnight stay, although occasional noise and activity can occur. Camping is not allowed on the grass, and one of the two toilet buildings was closed. The parking area itself is flat.

Very beautiful view from this fairly quiet place. Large parking area with toilets. We stayed overnight because camping on the grass is prohibited, but nothing is specified for the parking area. Also, if you do not take out your table, chairs or awning, it is not considered camping.
Basically a huge parking area beside a park running along the river, with very nice dog-walking routes, partial shade in the afternoon, exercise equipment and an Ecotrail route through the greenery. One of the two toilet blocks was locked. According to some friendly local youths, the market takes place only on the 13th, so you can stay farther back, near the sports field and farther from the factory.
Some young men came around 10 p.m. and stood next to our car. One was riding a motorcycle and fooling around. They approached the car because they were curious, but nothing more happened. We felt unsafe in case more cars started arriving, but they left an hour later and we slept peacefully all night. We stayed from Wednesday night to Thursday.
Large parking area, nothing particularly interesting but flat and relatively quiet. Water, tables and a playground.
Facilities and space are good, but it is not quiet for spending the night: factory noise and cars moving all night.
We spent four peaceful days here, despite events with many people, including a marathon and football matches, over the weekend. The area is large, so there is room for everyone. It is advisable to park in the area designated for the football field, not in the Vista Alegre company car park.
You can spend a quiet night by parking in the stadium car park next to the area where camping is not allowed. There is no prohibition here. Great—water point and public toilet.
We spent Thursday night to Friday in September, and from 5 a.m. they were setting up a market: noise and banging. In the end we had to move to the car parking area. Otherwise fine; you can see a beautiful sunset.
This is not a designated area, so behave accordingly. Great views. Tables, a small playground and a calisthenics area. Public toilets. We spent Monday night to Tuesday and did not hear a sound; we were alone. An area much used by local people.
We spent the night of 13 August with the camper. We were practically alone, and it was a very quiet, noise-free night. The next morning we had breakfast at the picnic tables with beautiful views. The two small dogs we brought were able to run loose there.
Very beautiful place! Playground, space, barbecue, toilet, peaceful night. Great! When we arrived there were many people, but they were very friendly; we did not feel at all that we were disturbing anyone with our van.
Very good for spending one night. The night was quiet.
Lots of parking. Six barbecues. Twenty-four tables. Beside the river but without too many insects. Children's play area. Calisthenics area. Bathroom with water. What more could you ask for? Excellent place to enjoy with the family. We came only to eat, but with so much parking I doubt there would be any problem spending the night. There are no signs prohibiting motorhomes or overnight stays. 10 out of 10.
