“3 months living in a bungalow, best option around for peace and space.”

So... I've been living in this camping during 3 months, I think I can give you some useful and updated info, everything from my opinion: - First the situation of the camp. To me it was really nice because it's a little bit on the side of everything. Calm, quiet and without parties close, but at the same time 5 mins away from Baleal, and another 5 from Almagreira (all by car). Also the camping has parking inside and outside, so I could park my car at the entrance absolutely everyday, and that was really useful. The supermarkets are far, but the ones you can go to in Baleal are SO expensive. At the end, if you want a good supermarket you have to go to Peniche. Anyway, in Ferrel there is a grocery you can get more or less the basics, and it's just 10 mins walking. Also the Camping provide some stuff in the shop and I have to say that those things are really good priced.  - Then my bungalow was equipped with exactly what I was needing: my own kitchen fully equipped, double bed, my own toilette and shower, and even a desk. Not the best desk possible (also I'm big), it was more like a table for 2 but I was really comfortable there. There is a closet with some drawers and space for hangers also. To me, at this point what I was missing is a place to hang the wetsuit outside. There are some stuff in the windows to put the towels hanging but not with enough height for a wetsuit. Most people coming here like to surf and at the end you don't really know where to put the wetsuit to dry. Also if you are looking just for the mini house with beds, I know for other people that is a really nice option and cheap.  - The workers in my opinion are really nice! Maybe some of them are not the most charismatic people ever, but they care about you and your problems and that is the MOST important thing in a hotel/camping/hostel/whatever. Perhaps security guys or cleaning ladies don't have the best english level ever, but they understand what you are trying to say, and they put attention on their jobs. Reception team is always very kind and they speak really good english / spanish.  - About protocols and Covid-19... I have nothing bad to say. During this summer they were always wearing the masks indoors and making tests to people at the entrance (to me as well). Following the rules, I guess everything was correct.  - People talk about smell: to be honest, I was there for one month and I just realized about smell when a friend told me that he read it on the internet. Inside the bungalows you don't even knowabout the smell. Outside with tents? Sometimes it smells weird, but I mean, that is nature, I wouldn't say it is a "camping problem". Nature is what it is.  - Other things... There is parking in the camping area but outside the barrier with more or less 10-12 places, really good for parking. In 3 months I could always park there. The security guys take care of them as well the whole night, it's right in front of the cabin. There is no risk there or even in the area. The toilettes are equipped and clean. There are some washing machines but I didn't use them because I was doing it in Peniche when I was going to the supermarket. Tent areas have roofs! And bungalows are not soundproof but they isolate quite well. I definetely will repeat it again as much as possible. If you are looking for a calm place where you can park and have your own stuff and space, I think it is the best option.
