Been here?
Riverside parking area beside Cheles beach on the Alqueva lake, 4,5 km from Cheles village and EX-315. It has a bathing area, toilets, outdoor shower and beach bar, with €18 all in reported. Recent reports describe uncut grass, poorly cleaned bathrooms and showers, and many mosquitoes attracted by strong night lighting. Access involves two usually closed grid gates, and parking outside the private area is forbidden.

Badly maintained park. The grass is not cut, having to walk in tall grass. The bathrooms and showers looked like they were not cleaned in weeks. Floor filled with dead mosquitoes. Mirrors and sinks filled with bird excrements. The place is filled with mosquitoes due to the strong lights at night and proximity to river. Very bad experience.
Very nice Blue flag beach, but not allowed parking for Campervans/Motorhomes
A totally quiet and beautiful place! However, we were here in December. The restaurant was already closed in the evening; coffee was available from 9:00.Translating
Motorhome area farther from the lake than expected. Open spaces, no shade, so very hot at the end of August. We were alone, so there was plenty of drinking water and electricity. Sanitary facilities are available to a limited extent. And all that for €18.Translating
This is not a designated area for motorhomes or campers; it is a normal, very crowded parking lot, with a steep slope and no shade. Impossible to stay there during the day because of the heat and the crowds.Translating
The place is closed and isolated; the road is closed. I’m not sure whether it is safe to go there with a motorhome.Translating
Good view, restaurant on the beach, good access, nearby villages, and a very pleasant location despite little shade. Campsite for vehicles within a condominium. Good concept, very friendly staff.Translating
We stayed here for one night. The site is very neglected. The pitches are completely overgrown. Price: €10 plus €5 for electricity plus €5 for water! However, water and electricity are available at every pitch, hence two stars. I could not use the wastewater disposal because it was overgrown with weeds and plants. At night there were mosquitoes everywhere. The site may be better maintained in summer, but not in May!Translating
We were here at the end of July. There were only two motorhomes on the grounds. It was clean and very beautiful. Wonderful location, with a direct view of the lake. Peace and tranquility. We will come again.Translating
