All of them supplied by wooden terraces with stunning views over the legendary Lima River.
Lima-Bar with its shaded terrace with nice mountain view, opened to offer some food & beverage service to Lima Escape Camping and Glamping is welcoming everyone passing by (not the Camping & Glamping guests).
Here you could have a breakfast, some snacks, lunch or just a drink in a nice & relaxed atmosphere. It´s an ideal place to stop along your walking around the Peneda-Gerês National Park, as well as after or in between of one of the different water activities carried out at Albufeira of Lima river or just after enjoying one of the wonderful waterfalls and lagoons of Ermida.
Being successfully located in the heart of National Park (the only one in Portugal) and surrounded clear rivers and natural lagoons, beautiful waterfalls, officially signed hiking trails, recreational fishing places, Lima Escape Camping & Glamping is happy to offer its visitors a wide variety of activities for the most diverse tastes.
The main purpose is to be in full contact with Peneda-Gerês National Park’s flora and fauna in a breath-taking mountain environment.
Lima Escape Camping consists of three areas for medium and large tents and one car-free area for small tents. The areas are composed of rectangular plots under a leafy forest full of oaks and pines going down up to Lima riverside.
When installing the tents and other camping equipment, we strive to respect the necessary distance between our guests. We focus on comfortable accommodation, privacy and the best experience in the middle of nature.
For this reason, we only allow tents to be set up until 10:00 p.m. We also appreciate our visitors to respect our “Silence hours” between 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
When the maximum capacity is reached, Lima Escape reserves the right to limit car parking inside the campsite (this happens mainly between the end of July and the end of August). In this case, cars are only allowed enter the Camping to unload/load materials and the rest of the time they are to stay in the parking lot outside the Camping site.
Lima Escape Camping & Glamping has a special area for Campers and Motorhomes and its own service station. In this station our visitors can fulfil all the practical needs of their vehicles.
Since 2015, Lima Escape Camping & Glamping has been inspected by accredited ACSI Eurocamping Card inspectors, providing yearly control of the Camping facilities. It has also been included in ADAC’s Camping and Areas guide, since 2017.
Thus, it provides customers with ACSI and ADAC’s discounts (card with the special price applicable in low season).
Campers and motorhomes are allowed to enter until 10:00 pm.
Thereafter we appreciate our visitors to respect the “Silence hours” between 11 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
Glamping is a modern alternative to traditional camping, with more luxurious and comfortable conditions, but keeping the principal virtues of camping such as a direct contact with the natural environment. This new form of camping was created at the end of the 20th century and promoted a combination of “glamour” and “camping”, providing a valid alternative for all those who seek direct contact with nature without renouncing sophisticated habits and the comfort of their daily life.
Lima Escape Glamping offers to its visitors 2 types of tents decorated in an oriental style – 2 Glamour Tipi tents and 3 Glamour Bell Tents (the bigger ones), all with 5 meters in diameter and situated on the small wooden stage.
Beautifully decorated and filled with puffs & pillows, all Lima Escape Glamour tents are supplied with wooden terrace, table and chairs to provide the guest with pure Nature experience to sleep down and wake up with the birds chirping and stunning view over the Lima River.
Lima Escape Camping & Glamping sought to fit the Lodges (so-called Bungalows) in the beautiful mountain forest landscape, minimizing their impact on surroundings. This is how the famous “tree house” bungalows were built with their totally innovative constructions in T1 and T1 + 1 formats.
The Bungalows were designed to ensure a direct contact with nature in an environment of complete comfort, either inside the bungalow or on its suspended outdoor balcony. The chosen architectural option provides the full-glass facade facing the river-side & transmitting the sensation of waking up in the middle of the forest, but with simple comfort.
The Colour Lodges were made to add some new colour to your escape to nature! Suspended or put on wheels and also situated next Lima river-side with a privileged view of the sunset, they are perfectly prepared to relax and enjoy all that nature has to offer, in a comfortable and “glammy” way. They are made in T1 format and look like an autonomous and picturesque miniature country houses.
Both in summer and winter, we guarantee pleasant moments with your family and friend aside of our fireplace or, on summer days, on our shaded terrace surrounded by mountain nature.
Here, at our Lima Bar we serve breakfast, some snacks, simple dishes and grate verity of beverages.
