Explore hidden Portugal in a
fully equipped campervan.
The VW Camper is a defining symbol of carefree rolling freedom, the wheels for hauling surfers, musicians, artists, students and family adventurers from 1950 into the present day. Inside the humble compact VW motorhome it is surprisingly liveable, enveloping you and your family in a welcoming cocoon.
Driving a VW campervan is always an adventure, it’s so laid-back you are compelled to unwind. In a VW camper you become a member of a community with members dating back over 67 years. People wave and smile, they flash their lights and come to take photographs. When you are parked and you see some smiling person heading over to talk to you, you can be sure they are keen to spin a yarn about their epic VW adventure, be it about the time they drove through morocco, got engaged to their beloved or hitched a lift to Woodstock… everyone who has journeyed in VW camper has a great story to tell. Get on the bus and start your story ……..
Our new rental campers are covered by Volkswagen’s 24H Europe assist. All of our new campers are under 3 years old and are serviced at VW. We also run our own state-of-the-art, fully-equipped workshop where we have 3 full-time mechanics to fix any problems. We’ve been working on vintage VW’s for over 15 years so there’s little we don’t know!
Our campers come with everything you need to have a great campervan holiday experience. We include freshly laundered duvets, sheets and pillows, as well as a table and chairs, information folder, maps and a unique diary filled with tips and stories from fellow VW adventurers..
We offer free airport or train station collection within office hours (09:00-18:00) 7 days a week. We’ll meet you with the camper ready to go, so there’s no need to waste time in our office. Once you’ve been introduced to your camper and been told about some of the amazing spots to visit in Portugal from our staff member, you’ll be ready to embark on your adventure to remember
All of our campers come with a quality 12v compressor fridge. New campers have a 50L capacity and classic campers can hold 20L. They run off an auxiliary leisure battery so you’ll never have any problems starting with your main battery.
Siesta Campers have been building camper vans and motorhomes for over 10 years. We don’t just cobble together vans using whatever’s around. We source the best quality, sustainable materials from all over Europe and our wood interior’s are sourced from organically cultivated forests where tree depletion is avoided and is especially made for motorhomes.
Claire and Loyd have travelled from India to Africa in camper vans so you could say we’ve become camping experts. We’re also great at giving advice, whether that be what size suitcase to bring or which are the best secret spots to sleep in. Our family-friendly advice is what makes us stand out in today’s faceless corporate age.
We’re a family business. We know how much fun you can have in a camper in Portugal. We want you to experience that too.
We were two people who lived in Azul, our blue VW van, for two weeks. The vans are superbly clean and maintained. It was no harder to drive our van around than a car. It gave us access to incredible places and you can`t beat the freedom. Communication with Claire is easy and everyone at Siesta Campers went out of there way to accomodate us. An incredible componay and a terrific option to visit Portugal.
we spent one week in one of the new Campers, it was a T6. ( we have a old bully at home ). So that was a very good experience. The car drives very easy. It does`t need much diesel . You can climb every step hill. The fridge and all the kitchen was perfectly set. We spent one week around Sagres and Monchique, Perfect to travel with this camper. You can sleep and cook wherever you like it. We always slept in the roofbed. The communication with Claire was perfect. It`s a very good way to explore the Algarve this way. You fly to Faro and Claire brings you the Camper. Thank you for the nice chance to travel with one of your Vans. Karin and Alex
We only had a very limited time to travel, but it was definitely worth it, especially in one of this beautiful vans! A big thank you to Loyd and Claire for the service and all the passion they put into their vans. There was nothing we would have needed on our travel that wasn’t in the van, including a solar shower and a barbecue. It won’t be the last time we traveled with a T2 for sure!

I really cannot rate these guys highly enough! It’s a family run business and the owners, Claire and Loyd, go above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing holiday. The vans are gorgeous and we free camped all around the Algarve in some truly incredible places. And they supply surfboards and bbq’s!!
We have just finished an amazing week exploring the Algarve in a t5 siesta camper & loved every minute. Camper included everything you could possibly need for a fantastic relaxing holiday. We loved being able to get off the beaten track and explore the Portuguese coast at our own pace. Claire & Loyd were very easy to contact both in the lead up to & during our holiday. Would definitely recommend Siesta campers to anyone wanting to explore the Algarve & we will be sure to use them again next time we visit Portugal.
I couldn’t recommend dealing with nicer people and outstanding vans.
We rented one of the t5 vans. It has the full works, pop top roof with bed upstairs, rock’n’roll bed down stairs, fridge, two chairs for sitting outside, table, leisure battery for “wild” camping, double swivel passenger seat.
The list of specs in the van could go on and on!
We didn’t need to stay in a camp-site for the week.
Genuinely really decent people to deal with and obviously passionate about what they do.
Nous avons l’ honneur d’ être conduit par “Saffron” Volkswagen Combi vwt2 pour explorer le Sud du Portugal en Algarve.
Tout était parfait, de l’ accueil de Claire jusqu’ à la restitution du véhicule.
Tout est fonctionnel à l’ intérieur, de quoi faire de jolis rêves ainsi que ce luxe de pouvoir s’ arrêter en bord de mer et cuisiner face au coucher de Soleil.
Très agréable à conduire nous sommes passés par de somptueux paysages aussi bien en Méditerranée que sur la Côte ouest et pour finir en beauté” Saffron”nous à fait prendre les chemins de Monchique et c’ était magique.
Du coup, nous souhaitons remercier “Siesta Campers” qui nous à permis de réaliser un rêve et d’ être toujours disponible en cas de besoin.
Allez y!! On the Road Again !! Saffron we’ll Be Back !!
Just returned from a fab week in Portugal in November in Siesta Camper’s new model white VW T5! Extremely comfortable and well kitted out, engine ran like a dream & unbelievable fuel economy! Good head room when the top is up, cosy in the rain, but cool with air conditioning in the heat. Double gas burners for cooking, sink, portaloo, solar shower, crockery, bedding, everything! We will be in touch again ready for our next trip very soon!
Great experience! We had a wonderful trip along the Algarve and the West Coast in one of Siesta’s T5 campers. The camper’s features were all well-designed and easy to handle. Also service and and travel advice by Siesta were very helpful. A clear recommendation to anyone seeking a special travel experience in Portugal!
