Portugal remains a popular destination for winter motorhome trips. For a legal journey, a category B license (up to 3.5 t), insurance, technical inspection, and compliance with parking rules are required: no tables, chairs, or awnings outside. In Natura 2000 areas and protected coastal zones, strict restrictions apply, with high fines for waste dumping. It is recommended to use ASA service areas, campsites, and other legal overnight stops, and to consider toll roads and the Via Verde system.

In São Martinho do Porto, in the green heart of Serra dos Mangues, lies the Colina do Sol campsite. It covers about nine hectares and offers two swimming pools, a water area with slides, mini-golf, sports courts, children's clubs, and entertainment programs. There are about 200 pitches for tents, as well as equipped cottages and furnished tents. The beach of São Martinho do Porto is two kilometers away, with Nazaré and Óbidos nearby.
