This quiet parking area lies at the end of a road beside the Sil River and a small landing stage. It is paved, clean, and suitable for bathing, with rubbish containers but no other services. Fishermen and kayakers may arrive early, creating some morning movement. The surroundings offer a peaceful riverside setting and occasional shade.

A place with a good setting beside the River Sil. There are several parking spaces at the end of the road leading to a small jetty. In the evening there were two fishermen’s vans, and early in the morning several cars left for kayaking excursions on the river. Despite the activity, it was very quiet. A Civil Guard patrol passed in the evening and said nothing to us. Convenient.Translating
Super peaceful place to sleep, beside the river. Paved. It is an abandoned campsite; we slept in the parking area, which was very clean. There are garbage containers—keep the area clean. Fishermen come to the area.Translating
Spectacular and peaceful place. Campsite facilities that may possibly open in the future. At the end there is a large, easily accessible parking area, without services, but you have the River Sil for a refreshing swim. There were two camper vans. As a nudism enthusiast, I enjoyed a night under the stars. Spectacular.Translating
Abandoned place... The Walking Dead... Before arriving, the lighting poles are dilapidated, followed by an abandoned motorhome area and abandoned little houses. Above all, there is an unpleasant smell throughout the site that really makes you not want to stay overnight. And the mosquitoes? I have never seen mosquitoes so large, and they attack immediately! I retreated to the site 20 minutes above, with a garbage bin and water. Site with red ground.Translating

Lovely spot for a good night’s sleep!Translating
Beautiful and peaceful. We stopped for a lunch break. You can hear the motorway a little, although there is not much traffic. Honestly, I am not sure I would sleep here; it seems a little isolated.Translating
You sleep very peacefully. Very little lighting. Spectacular starry night.Translating
Very nice place. Some guys show up for fishing from time to time. I went swimming in the lake. I stayed here for three nights. Quiet at night. Awesome stargazing! Good for larger rigs; mine is 7 meters long.Translating
A beautiful place where you can fish and there is shade all day. It is a camping area that will open soon, but it is ideal for forgetting civilization.Translating
Perfect place to spend the night. I slept alone, very peaceful. Across the road is the village of Covas, where you can join the beautiful PR-G 141 hiking trail, the Gold Route and the Royal Way.Translating
