Nudity policy

Naturist campsite; compulsory nude swimming

The campsite rules expect nudity when weather permits and respectful social naturism. Nude swimming is compulsory, with a shower before entry; children up to 10 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

The rules explicitly require covering up when taking rubbish to the waste area to the right of the gate. The pool is unsupervised, and the site has an unfenced lake; do not treat the lake as an advertised swimming facility.

Directions & Parking

Getting there

Use the physical campsite destination Foros do Barão, Abela, and the operator’s published GPS 38°01′05″N,8°29′06″W. Do not use the separate postal-box address in Ermidas-Sado as the arrival point. Arrange arrival by 16:30 or agree a later time in advance.

Parking

Follow the hosts’ instructions for arrival parking and the assigned pitch/accommodation. The gate must be closed after entry; the site speed limit is 5 km/h, and vehicles may not circulate during the late-night quiet period.

Finding the naturist area

After registering with the hosts, follow the internal route to the bar terrace and saltwater pool, with sun loungers around it. Ask when the adjacent sauna is heated; shower before entering the nude-only pool.

Where naturism applies

Naturism is within the private campsite. Cover up for the waste area to the right of the entrance, as the rules require; nearby public roads and the unfenced lake are not additional advertised nude swimming areas.

  • Normal check-in ends 16:30; arrange exceptions in advance.
  • The pool has no lifeguard and the lake is unfenced; supervise children closely.
  • Confirm current sauna and bar hours before relying on them.
