Sleeping in your vehicle or a tent in Portugal
- 🚐 In the vehicle: Allowed with real exceptions — depends on the place. Portugal — since 2021 the rule is explicit: outside protected areas you may overnight up to 48 hours in the same municipality, and "overnighting" means occupants aboard between 22:00 and 07:00. Inside Natura 2000 sites, protected areas and coastal-plan zones it is banned unless expressly authorised. Fines €60–300, doubled to €120–600 in those areas.
- ⛺ A tent outside a campsite: No right to roam, and camping on any road or public space is an offence in its own right (€30–150). Motorhomes get a clearer deal than tents: 48 hours in one municipality outside protected areas. (Código da Estrada art. 50.º(7)(a); art. 50.º-A for vehicles)
- 🅿️ 23 rest areas and motorway services within 30 km — the nearest Motorway services (2.6 km), Área de Serviço Rotunda AEP - Norteshopping (5.8 km), Motorway services (6.5 km).
