Environmental Awareness

Easy Camping

Small, agile and fuel efficient. Our campervans are the choice for people that like the easy way of camping.

Greener Camping by Downsizing

As nature & ocean lovers, improving our environmental fingerprint is a real affair of the heart and we are constantly searching for greener ways of camping. Our goal is to become carbon neutral by 2030. Our first approaches include:

Only using renewable electrical energy to power our shop and e-mobility.
Only using electrical devices with maximal energy efficiency such as LEDs for illumination.
Reduce plastic usage whenever possible (e.g. avoiding plastic kitchen material).
Provide our guests with biodegradable shower gel, shampoo and dish detergent.
Provide small campervans with low fuel consumption (5-7Lt/100km).

Hopefully, you as our next guest can help us by making small actions towards keeping the nature and camping spots as clean as possible.

We are constantly improving our CO2 footprint, and will keep you updated. If you have suggestions for greener camping solutions please feel free to write us to info@oceancamper.com.

Our philosophy

We are fair, friendly, courteous and, above all, reliable. We love to share with our guests everything we know about camping, places, cities and beaches in the Algarve and all of Portugal. We want to give you an unforgettable camping holiday. And we want you to come back with a smile and nice memories. We work hard for that.

How it started

“Hi! I’m Nina. I’ve always loved traveling and camping in an easy, budget-friendly way, while enjoying the beauty of nature—beaches, rivers, and lakes.

During my student days, I got my own campervan, which allowed me to explore every beach and valley in Costa Vicentina. A long road trip from Faro to Norway made me fall even more in love with camping.

I started renting out my camping gear, surfboards, and my personal van through Airbnb, and I received fantastic feedback from my guests, achieving an excellent rating of 4.9/5 in 2018. This inspired me to launch my own small business, NomadCanguru, Lda, and the brand OceanCamper®. We offer campervans for two, camping gear, and sports equipment at fair prices. I now have a wonderful little team working with me in this exciting venture!”
