Our story

About Us

Family-run campervan rental in Faro and Lisbon.

About Ocean Camper

Our mission is to give you an easy-going camping holiday in Portugal, with simple and functional camping gear for a fair price.

We are a small family business with two bases: Faro, 2 km from the airport, and Lisbon, where our base in Montijo opened in March 2026. The same family hands over every van, and nearly five hundred guests have reviewed us on Google, Yescapa and Airbnb.

In March 2022 we became the first campervan rental company in Portugal to offer a 100% electric camper, and a new electric model is planned for 2027.

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®. Today we offer small campervans for two or three people, tents, camping gear and sports equipment at fair prices, from Faro and Lisbon. I now have a wonderful little team working with me in this exciting venture!”

We offer

  • Small campervans, including an automatic, tents and camping equipment.
  • Surf, stand-up paddleboards, snorkel and sports equipment.
  • Pick-up in Faro or Lisbon, and one-way trips between the two.
  • Route advice suited to your hobbies and interests.

We want to share with you one of the prettiest places in Europe: sunny weather, beautiful places to stay overnight, tasty Portuguese food and the joy of water sports in the Atlantic Ocean.

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 Portugal. Every in-person handover includes a walkthrough of the van, and you can reach us on WhatsApp at any time during your trip. We want you to come back with a smile and nice memories, and we work hard for that.

Easy camping

Small, easy to drive and easy to park. Our campervans suit people who like the easy way of camping.

What we do for nature

As nature and ocean lovers, we look for ways to camp with less impact. What we do today:

  • Our shop runs on renewable electricity.
  • We use energy-efficient devices, such as LED lighting.
  • We avoid plastic where we can, for example in the kitchen kits.
  • Our mini campervans use 5 to 7 litres of diesel per 100 km.

You can help too: please leave every camping spot as clean as you found it. If you have ideas for greener camping, write to us at info@oceancamper.com.
