A cozy little hut on wheels, which turned out to be perfect for our adventure. Because you know what\u2019s so great about traveling in this minivan? It\u2019s not too big, so you can easily cruise through all the streets. During the day, you have all the freedom to explore the Portuguese coast, and in the evenings, a lovely campsite awaits you with all the facilities you need.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Renting a camper in Portugal with <a href=\"https:\/\/portugalnomads.eu\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=travelblox\">Portugal Nomads<\/a> is a bit different. The minivan is your mobile base \u2013 compact but thoughtfully equipped with a bed and the essentials for the road. And to be honest: in Portugal, you mostly live outdoors anyway. You have breakfast with an ocean view, stop for a fresh espresso in that cute little village, and end your day at one of our carefully selected campsites.<\/p><\/div>\n\t                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"tb-wysiwyg tb-block align-left background-light pattern-none variant-none tb-collapsible-margins\" id=\"wysiwyg-1\">\n    <div class=\"inner-block\">\n        <div class=\"tb-wysiwyg__inner tb-wysiwyg__inner--highlight\">\n            <div class=\"inner-block\">\n                                    <!-- <div class=\"icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/var\/www\/prod\/public_html\/wp-content\/plugins\/tbx-plugin\/blox\/wysiwyg\/..\/..\/images\/wave-1.php \" alt=\"Lamp icon\"\/>\n                <\/div> -->\n                    <div class=\"icon\">\n                        <i class=\"fa-kit fa-tb-lightbulb\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"text-part wysiwyg\">\n                                            <h4>Top tips from our team<\/h4>                                        \t\t<div class=\"translation-block\"><p>A road trip through Portugal means driving at your own pace.

We\u2019ll share all kinds of tips in our roadbook. And since your campsites for the night are already booked, you have all the freedom to improvise during the day. Have you booked excursions? Those are set, but we\u2019ve planned them in such a way that you still have plenty of time to arrange the rest of your day as you wish.<\/p><p><strong>Feeling adventurous with a minivan?
