The 20 coolest camp sites in Europe

1 ILHA DA BERLENGA
Portugal

Be brave — the sea crossing from Peniche can be bumpy, but the reward is a hillside camp site with exclusive access to the crystal waters of a small cove on Ilha da Berlenga. Only a dozen fishermen’s families live on the island, which is a protected nature reserve. It’s saltwater showers only, and you have to collect a daily personal allowance of fresh water at the island’s bar (which stocks other drinks, too).

2 LUGAR VARZEAS
Portugal

Camp with a clear conscience in the hills of central Portugal, surrounded by the scent of jasmine, eucalyptus and orange blossom. The turquoise eco-yurts have a brass-knobbed bed and retro furnishings, while the owners’ organic allotment provides vines, figs and basil. Their chickens will lay your morning eggs, and you’ll wake up to find your breakfast in a hamper at your yurt’s front door before you skip off for a solar-powered hot shower.
