help with camping chores

David was a fantastic host. It was really important to him that we were doing well, had everything we needed, and felt comfortable. We had a great time! Our morning shift involved cleaning toilets and sometimes helping at the bar. We had plenty of free time which was great for relaxing and exploring. The area is stunning, but having a car helps. The nearest town is walkable, but for activities, driving is a plus. You'll spend a lot of time alone, so we recommend bringing a friend. The team and David's family is super friendly. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!

I was at the campsite with my friend, Zoe, we were there for 10 days and it was a wonderful experience. our shift was in the morning and we had to help with the cleaning, very simple and above all we had the afternoon free. we were able to live in contact with nature and explore the places around. we managed to communicate in Italian, Portuguese and English, it was very fun and we told each other about our cultures, the similar and the different things. the campsite is beautiful and David and his family are fantastic people, thanks again :)

I enjoyed my stay at the camping a lot:) It is the perfect experience for you if you love nature and appreciate a bunch of free time to wander around and do your own things. The work is not too difficult and the environment very relaxed and friendly. The family were all extremely nice to me, especially David was great and often asking if I have everything. The only thing to keep in mind is the language barrier, we were only two volunteers and the family speaks mostly only Portuguese, even though they do try hard to find ways to communicate:) thanks for the experience!♥️

During my entire volunteering stay, I have felt really well. I highlight its extraordinary location and the good relationship with David, his family and other camping collaborators. For sure, a good place to learn Portuguese and visit Peneda-Gerés National Park.

We had an excellent time with David and his family, they are all very kind people and made us feel so welcome for our stay. Work was simple and not demanding and there was lots of free time and days off! The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the waterfalls great for swimming, really good if you want to be in nature! Would love to come back here one day! Thank you David

I really enjoyed my time volunteering and working with the people and other volunteers at the camping. David and his family were very welcoming and friendly and provided comfortable places to sleep and a kitchen space we were free to use as well as providing us with food during our stay. Work was very easy and the hours were very reasonable. Great place to enjoy and explore nature as there are many hikes and various excursions to take part in around the campsite and Gerês. I would really recommend this place to anyone looking to escape to nature for a while :)

In my opinion: the place is nice, but unfortunately Im not a vacation person/dont like doing nothing and whenever I asked for more work, nothing. Some things that might improve the campsite could be: - A basic training / a clear instructions sheet for volunteers - better organization providing the food for the volunteers or in general - A better communication system, especially for those who dont speak Portuguese David's family was nice, but I found that better management of resources would enhance the experience. I hope these suggestions help for improving the campsite :)

I appreciate the feedback and suggestions but unfortunately I am not authorized to provide food for breakfast and lunch as if it were a hotel, this is out of the question.
Even though you asked me for tasks several times, unfortunately I couldn't, because a simple task to perform would take you days to complete, I wish you success and I really hope that you develop small activities and learn and live together in a community and not just alone.
To the next hosts I recommend large group activities for better execution, as alone this would be a BIG problem

There are two shifts, Morning and Afternoon: •M: cleaning bathroom and picking up the trash. •A: bartending and ocasionally checking trash, bathrooms and cleaning supplies. Both of which could have different thing to do depending on the day but nothing too hard. David's family was very nice to me and my partner during our stay, the only challenge was to communicate at first since we don't speak portugese but we learned a lot there. If you decide to volunteer here take the weather into consideration, hot days and chilly nights ✨ The campsite is amazing, and so is david's family ❤️

Foi minha primeira experiência em um voluntariado onde pude desacelerar e estar imersa na natureza, conhecer novas pessoas e vivenciar transformações pessoais. Obrigada pela estadia!
