15 Campsites In Morocco We Recommend: An Honest Guide.  

Wondering about Campsites in Morocco? For many motorhome travellers, Morocco represents the ultimate frontier. But arriving by ferry from Spain in a motorhome, the first question is always: Where do we park?

In Morocco, the concept of ‘camping’ differs slightly (actually, quite a lot) from the manicured holiday parks of Europe. So to navigate the country successfully, you need to understand the three distinct ways to park your home on wheels.

Read on for all you need to know about Campsites in Morocco and our favourite Park-Ups and Campsites in Morocco that we recommend. 

Park-Ups and Campsites in Morocco 

Motorhome parking, facilities and campsites in Morocco is pretty darn different to Europe. But once you understand the main concept of what exactly entails as a ‘Campsite’ in Morocco, it makes a lot more sense. 

On Park4Night – which is your best friend for determining great places to park here – there are essentially three types of overnight Campsites in Morocco. 

1. Paid Campsites in Morocco (Camping)

These are designated areas specifically for motorhomes and tents. 

While standards vary wildly—from luxury resorts with swimming pools to dusty plots with “character”—these are officially ‘Campsites’ in Morocco. 

They generally offer:

  • Electricity (EHU): Usually 220V, though often at a lower amperage than in Europe.
  • Fresh Water and Waste: Dedicated points for grey water and chemical toilet (black water) disposal.
  • Security: Most are fenced and gated with 24-hour staff.
  • Social Life: These are the best places to meet fellow “overlanders” and swap tips on road conditions or border crossings.

2. Guarded Parking (Parking Gardienné)

These are not exactly as above though are listed as a type of Campsite in Morocco. However, these are the secret weapon of Moroccan travel. 

Scattered throughout every city and near every major monument are Guarded Parking lots. For a small fee (typically 20–100 MAD per night), a “Guardian” in a high-vis vest will watch over your vehicle.

  • Facilities: Usually none, though some may have a basic public toilet nearby.
  • The Vibe: It’s functional. You are often parking on tarmac or gravel right in the heart of a city like Marrakech or Casablanca.
  • Security: Extremely high. The Guardians take their jobs seriously, often sleeping in small huts at the entrance.

Be friendly with your Guardian. Many campers aren’t. But a packet of biscuits or even just a ‘Good Morning’ (Salam) goes a long way and your Guardian will watch over your van with great care.

3. Wild Camping (Camping Sauvage)

While officially “tolerated” in rural areas, wild camping in Morocco comes with a caveat: if the police or Gendarmerie find you, they may kindly (but firmly) ask you to move to a guarded area for your own safety. 

This has been known to happen in the small Moroccan surf towns when the paid campsites get a bit empty. The Gendarmerie may come down to the wild camping area (which is generally prime beach side parking) and do a bit of a clean out. 

Not sure what sort of deals they have going on. But everything seems to go back to normal after a day or so. 

Finding Guarded Parking and Campsites in Morocco 

For more information about parking and Campsites in Morocco there are two Apps to download and one Facebook Forum to join before your trip to Morocco.

These will help a lot with destination choices and answer any other questions you have about finding campsites for your motorhome in Morocco.

The Essential Apps & Forums

  • Park4Night: This is the most popular app for campsites in Morocco. It is excellent for finding hidden coastal spots, specific city parking lots with guardians, and detailed reviews from fellow travellers (in French, German, and English).
  • iOverlander: While it has fewer listings than Park4Night in some regions, iOverlander is invaluable for finding “overlander-specific” services like specialized mechanics, potable water sources, and remote desert tracks that standard apps might miss.
  • Vanlife Marokko (Facebook Group): This is one of the most active online communities for the region. Whether you have a question about the latest border requirements or need a recommendation for a reliable welder, the members here are incredibly helpful.

15 CAMPSITES IN MOROCCO WE RECOMMEND 

The following is a list of 15 Campsites in Morocco and Guarded Parking spots we have stayed in and can recommend for your road trip in coastal Morocco. 

Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Region: Campsites in Morocco

The Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Region is in the Northwest of Morocco.

These are the Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Region Campsites in Morocco that we have stayed in and recommend.

1. Asilah: Camping Echrigui

Located just a 10-minute walk from the stunning white-and-blue medina of Asilah, this campsite is the perfect first stop after getting off the ferry.

Campsite Overview

LocationAvenue Moulay Hassan Ben Mahdi, Asilah
TypeCampsite
Park4Night ID#30379
Cost110 MAD (Total for Motorhome + 2 Adults)
ElectricityAvailable for an additional 20–30 MAD

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: Basic toilets and hot showers (standards are modest; expect a “functional” rather than luxury experience).
  • Motorhome Services: Fresh water refilling, plus grey and black waste disposal areas.
  • Food & Drink: There is a small mini-market right at the entrance for essentials.
  • Extra: The owner’s family can deliver fresh, homemade Tagines directly to your van if ordered in advance.

The campsite had muddy grounds when we arrived in December and run-down facilities. But the location is great with a 10 minute walk to the Asilah Medina and right across the road from the beach.

It isn’t flash though you have everything you need. 

We have stayed here every time we return to Asilah. 

Rabat-Salé-Kénitra Region: Campsites in Morocco

The Rabat-Salé-Kénitra Region is in the Northwest of Morocco. 

These are the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra campsites in Morocco that we have stayed in and recommend.

2. Rabat: Parking Rue Marassa

If you want to visit the capital, don’t look for a campsite; look for this Guarded Parking lot. It is situated a mere 100 meters from the Medina entrance.

Campsite Overview

Location43 Rue Marassa, Rabat (L’Océan District)
TypeGuarded Day/Night Parking
Park4Night ID#109141
Cost120 MAD for 24 hours (approx. 5 MAD/hour)
SecurityFenced with 24/7 on-site guardians

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: There is a single, basic toilet located at the back of the car park. Though simple, it is consistently kept clean and usable for travellers.
  • Vehicle Care: The Guardian and carpark workers offer a car wash and polish service. 
  • Accessibility: The lot is flat and paved, suitable for most motorhome sizes, though manoeuvring during peak city hours requires a bit of patience!

Rabat is a sophisticated capital, and this Guarded Parking lot is one of the most practical ways to see it. 

We returned multiple times to this site because, while it is essentially a fenced city car park, the friendliness of the Guardian (and his dog) and the unbeatable location make it a standout choice for urban vanlife.

3. Mohammedia: Camping Ocean Bleu

Situated in Mansouria, just a short drive from the bustling energy of Casablanca and Rabat, Camping Ocean Bleu is widely considered one of the best-managed campsites in Morocco. 

It remains a favourite for us for its beachside bliss atmosphere and the exceptional hospitality of the family who runs it.

Campsite Overview

LocationRoute 322, Mansouria, Mohammedia
TypeCampsite
Park4Night ID#12982
Cost110 MAD (Total for Motorhome + 2 Adults)
Electricity20 MAD (10A connection)

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: Exceptionally clean toilet blocks and consistent hot showers.
  • Motorhome Services: Full station for fresh water, grey water, and black water disposal.
  • Laundry: On-site washing machines are available for 50 MAD per load.
  • Daily: Fresh bread is delivered to the site every morning—a perfect Moroccan start to the day.
  • Tagine: There is a restaurant at the front of the site that offers a unique service: they can deliver a fresh, steaming Tagine directly to your motorhome. Just be sure to place your order a few hours in advance!

This is one of our favourite campsites in Morocco. It is a very friendly family owned and run campsite. 

You are directly on the beach. While the coastline here is more rugged and rocky than sandy, the sunset views over the Atlantic are spectacular.

There is Carrefour Market is within walking distance for major grocery hauls, and the site is a great base for taking a taxi into Casablanca to visit the Hassan II Mosque.

Casablanca–Settat Region: Campsites in Morocco

Casablanca is the capital of the Casablanca-Settat Region in the northwest of the country. 

These are the Casablanca-Settat Region campsites in Morocco that we have stayed in and recommend.

4. Casablanca: Hassan II Mosque Parking

There are very few options in Casablanca, but parking right under the shadow of the world’s second-largest mosque is an experience in itself.

Located on an unnamed road directly adjacent to the iconic Hassan II Mosque, this is a basic, Guarded Parking asphalt lot that places you right at the feet of one of the world’s most magnificent religious structures.

Note though, it literally is parking on the street side outside. 

Campsite Overview

LocationBoulevard de la Corniche (Adjacent to Hassan II Mosque)
TypeGuarded Parking

Cost30 MAD for overnight stay
Security24-hour on-site guardians (look for the high-vis vests)

We also parked many times at a fenced, Guarded Parking lot just near Morocco Mall. This was a great place to park with a motorhome in Casablanca. But it has since disappeared off Park4Night. 

Check it out and ask around when planning where to park in Casablanca.

5. El Jadida: Beachfront Parking (Avenue Sete)

El Jadida is a UNESCO World Heritage treasure, and this parking spot puts you right in the middle of its Atlantic charm. 

Located along Avenue Sète near the Ibis Hotel, it’s a simple, Guarded Parking beachfront lot that offers a front-row seat to local life on the Moroccan coast.

Campsite Overview

LocationAvenue Sète (near Ibis Hotel), El Jadida
TypeGuarded Parking
Park4Night ID#391254
Cost40 MAD per night
SecurityOn-site guardians (customary to tip a few Dirhams extra for an overnight watch)

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: No on-site facilities. This is a dry camping spot; you must be fully self-contained.
  • Services: No water, electricity, or waste disposal available.
  • Access: The road is wide and the parking is flat, making it an easy park-up for motorhomes of any size.

As the sun sets, the Corniche transforms into a vibrant social hub filled with families, street food vendors, and portable coffee carts.

You are just a short, scenic walk from the Cité Portugaise (the fortified old city). Don’t miss the famous Portuguese Cistern while you’re there!

Being right on the Corniche means easy access to local snacks. We highly recommend trying the escargot (snails) from the nearby stalls—it’s a quintessential El Jadida experience.

6. Oualidia: Laguna Park 

Perched on the hillside with sweeping views over the famous Oualidia Lagoon, Laguna Park is a good choice for those looking for traditional type campsites in Morocco. 

While it is considered one of the more expensive options by Moroccan standards, the elevated position and the availability of amenities make it a reliable choice for a reset day.

Campsite Overview

LocationUpper Oualidia (overlooking the coastal road)
TypeCampsite
Park4Night ID#54952
Cost130 MAD (Motorhome + 2 Adults)
Electricity30 MAD (10A)
Child or Extra Person35 MAD

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: Functional toilet and shower blocks with hot water.
  • Motorhome Services: Full station for fresh water, grey water, and black water disposal.
  • Laundry: There is a washing machine available for 60 MAD per load (be prepared to wait during peak times as there is only one!).
  • The View: The campsite literally overlooks the large motorhome parking lot below, offering a much better breeze and a bird’s-eye view of the lagoon.

Being up on the hill means a bit of a steep walk down to the lagoon and the famous oyster shacks, but the tranquillity away from the main road is worth the effort.

Oualidia is the oyster capital of Morocco. If you like oysters – or even if you don’t – we recommend walking down to the water to buy (or check out) fresh oysters directly from the fishermen or enjoy a grilled fish at one of the lagoon-side restaurants.

7. Oualidia: Camping Car de Oualidia

If you don’t need the bells and whistles of Laguna Park, this is a large, dedicated motorhome area at the bottom of the hill.

Campsite Overview

LocationLagoon Road
TypeMotorhome Area
Park4Night ID#13739
Cost50 MAD per night
SecurityGuarded 24/7 (Guardians are very active here)

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: No official on-site facilities. You should be self-contained.
  • Water & Waste: While not officially advertised as a service point, you can often negotiate with the guardian to refill fresh water (usually limited to 20L per day) or empty your chemical toilet cassette for a small extra tip.
  • Accessibility: Very easy access for large rigs and overland trucks, with plenty of space to manoeuvre.

You are steps away from the famous Oualidia Lagoon. This is the spot to stay if you want to wake up, walk across the road, and buy fresh oysters or grilled fish directly from the local boatmen.

8. Marrakech: Parking Et Lavage La Koutoubia

To truly experience the ‘Red City’, you have to be in the centre. This guarded lot is located right next to the Koutoubia Mosque!

Campsite Overview

LocationBeside Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech
TypeGuarded Parking
Park4Night ID#29651
Cost150 MAD per 24 hours
SecurityGuarded around the clock with a formal ticketing system

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: Access to a basic public toilet on-site.
  • Motorhome Services: Includes a grey water drain (essential for city stays) and the ‘Lavage’ (wash) service if your rig needs a scrub after the desert dust.
  • Connectivity: Being in the centre of Marrakech, you will have excellent 4G/5G coverage for planning your day.

Such a handy location to visit the medina of Marrakech! You are less than a 5-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa, the world-famous square. You can easily pop back to your van for lunch or a nap before heading back out for the evening festivities.

It’s loud, it’s central, and it’s quintessentially Marrakech. If you value location over luxury, this is your spot.

  • Tip: Navigating to this lot can be intense. We strongly recommend arriving before 10:00 AM or after 8:00 PM to avoid the peak Marrakech traffic and the swarm of motorbikes.

9. Souira Kedima: Souira Guedima Parking

If you are travelling south from Safi and struggling to find a secure spot in the city, Souira Kedima is a fantastic coastal alternative. This small village features an expansive corniche and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a perfect slow travel stop. 

The parking area is set just back from the beach and offers a safe, affordable overnight stay.

Though to be honest, there isn’t anything here in this village apart from a small fish market – and peace and quiet. 

Campsite Overview

LocationUnnamed Road, Souira Beach (South of Safi)
TypeGuarded Parking
Park4Night ID#21646
Cost40 MAD per night 
SecurityA guardian typically arrives in the late afternoon to collect fees and watch the area.

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: Access to basic (very basic) public toilets.
  • Motorhome Services: There is a grey water drain at the end of the road. You may also empty your chemical cassette directly into the sewer point if needed (ask the guardian for guidance).
  • Dining & WiFi: The nearby restaurant Ranch Bleu (just a 300m walk) is a traveller favourite. It offers great pizza, clean restrooms, and reliable WiFi—perfect if you need to catch up on work or route planning.

You are mere steps from the waterfront. It’s a quiet, local village where you can watch the fishermen at the port or enjoy a peaceful walk along the corniche. Though there really isn’t anything else here other than the very small fish market. 

However, because it’s less touristy than the major hubs (like, way less touristy), it’s a good place to stay for a few nights to recharge. 

Gavin bought a Djellaba at the market (in preparation to ride the Mauritania Iron Ore Train) and we extended our stay to two nights to rest and chill out.

10. Ounagha: Camping Oliviers (Near Essaouira)

Since overnight motorhome parking in central Essaouira has become increasingly restricted, Camping des Oliviers in the nearby village of Ounagha has become the premier base camp for the region. 

This family-run oasis is spotlessly clean, incredibly friendly, and offers a peaceful retreat just 15 km inland from Essaouira.

Campsite Overview

LocationCentre Ounagha (Ounara)
TypeCampsite
Park4Night ID#46342
Cost120 MAD (Motorhome + 2 Adults)
Electricity30 MAD 
Child or Extra Person45 MAD

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: Known for some of the tidiest facilities in Morocco, including very clean toilets and reliable hot showers.
  • Motorhome Services: Full station for fresh water, grey water, and black water disposal.
  • Laundry: On-site washing machine available for 60 MAD per load.

We found this an awesome option for a campsites in Morocco near Essaouira.

A shared ‘Grand Taxi’ or local bus to Essaouira costs approximately 15 MAD per person. It’s a quick 15–20 minute ride that drops you right near the Medina gates.

Ounagha is small but a charming, authentic Moroccan village. We recommend visiting the local Souk (market) if you happen to be there on a Thursday to stock up on fresh local produce.

11. Sidi Kaouki: Paradis Aicha

While the name “Paradise” might be a bit of a stretch when it comes to the facilities, the location and the price make it a legendary stop. 

We came for one night and ended up staying for three!

  • Tip: Eek! Check updated information this year as sadly this campsite in Morocco may have closed. There are some great wild spots nearby if you look.

Campsite Overview

LocationSidi Kaouki 44000 (Central Village)
TypeCampsite 
Park4Night ID#111299
Cost40 MAD per night

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: Very basic toilets and showers. Think functional over fashionable!
  • Motorhome Services: On-site fresh water refilling and a designated area to empty your chemical toilet cassette.
  • Proximity: You are directly across the road from one of the best surf and kite-surf beaches in Morocco.

This is a true beach-front stay. You’ll wake up to the sound of the Atlantic waves and the sight of camels wandering past your window.

The campsite is right in the heart of the village. There are several small cafes nearby serving Berber Omelettes and local mint tea, plus two mini-markets for your basic supplies.

These are the Agadir–Ida Ou Tanane Region Campsites in Morocco that we have stayed in and recommend.

12. Imsouane: Gratuit Parking Imsouane

This is one of the ultimate best and free Campsites in Morocco. 

Imsouane is home to ‘The Bay’, one of the longest surf waves in the world, and this park-up is arguably the most famous spot in the Moroccan vanlife circuit. 

  • Tip: Even following the significant local redevelopments in early 2024, this spectacular cliffside parking area remains open and welcoming to motorhomes.

Campsite Overview

LocationCliffside Overlooking The Bay, Imsouane
TypeGuarded Parking
Park4Night ID#80303 
CostFree (Official) / 20–30 MAD (Customary Tip)
CapacitySuitable for 50+ vehicles

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: There are public toilets and showers located a short 100m walk away.
    Toilet Use: 5 MAD
    Hot Shower: 15 MAD
  • Motorhome Services: You can empty your chemical cassette at the public facility for 10–15 MAD. Fresh water is available via jerry can; if you have a smaller van, you can drive down to the tap, but larger rigs will need to carry water up.
  • The Guardian: Look for the friendly warden in the high-vis vest. While there is no “official” fee, it is standard practice to give him a one-off tip (around 50 MAD if staying several days). He provides excellent security and will guide you to the best level spot.

Despite the demolition of some older buildings in the village, the spirit of Imsouane remains. The parking lot is still the primary hub for the international surf-van community.

You are parked directly above the surf. You can check the swell from your breakfast table and walk down to the water in less than five minutes.

We loved it so much we stayed for six nights on our first visit!

These are the Guelmin–Oued Noun Region Campsites in Morocco that we have stayed in and can recommend.

13. Sidi Ifni: Camping Sidi Ifni

Sidi Ifni is a former Spanish enclave with a unique blue-and-white Art Deco aesthetic, and this campsite is the perfect base to soak it all in. 

Located just past ‘Gran Canaria Camping’ it offers a friendly atmosphere right by the Atlantic shore.

This was another of our favourite Campsites in Morocco. We really enjoyed the relaxed vibes of Sidi Ifni.

Campsite Overview

LocationCoastal Road, Sidi Ifni (Near the beach)
TypeCampsite
Park4Night ID#67837
Cost95 MAD (Motorhome + 2 Adults)
Electricity25 MAD (6A/10A)
Child or Extra Person25 MAD

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: Functional toilets and hot showers are included in the price.
  • Motorhome Services: Full facilities for fresh water refilling, plus grey and black water disposal.
  • Budget Option: If the main campsite is full or you don’t need hookups, the guardians often allow parking just outside the entrance for a reduced rate of 65 MAD per night (no services included).
  • Dining: There is a convenient licensed restaurant located right next door—ideal if you’re looking for a meal and a sunset drink.

You are a flat walk from the beach and a manageable 15-minute uphill stroll to the town centre. The climb is worth it for the views and the Spanish-influenced architecture and the huge Weekly Souk. 

  • Tip: Take a short drive (or a long beach walk) north to Legzira Beach to see the famous red stone arches. It’s one of the most photographed spots in all of Morocco.

Laayoune–Sakia–El Hamra (Western Sahara): Campsites in Morocco

These are the Laayoune–Sakia–El Hamra (Western Sahara) Region Campsites in Morocco that we have stayed in and can recommend.

14. Boujdour: Camping Sahara Line

The drive through the Western Sahara involves long stretches of desert road, making Camping Sahara Line a vital and welcoming oasis in Boujdour. 

It serves as the perfect halfway mark between Laayoune and Dakhla. 

While the entrance might look a bit cluttered with older vehicles, don’t let that deter you—inside, you’ll find one of the best-maintained (ha! Albeit only) stops on the southern route.

Campsite Overview

LocationAvenue Hassan II, Boujdour
TypeCampsite
Park4Night ID#12064
Cost80 MAD per night (Motorhome + 2 Adults)
Electricity25 MAD 

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: The bathrooms and showers here are notably clean.
  • Motorhome Services: Full service point for fresh water, grey water, and black water disposal.
  • Laundry: There is an excellent, dedicated space for hand-washing clothes with plenty of lines to hang-dry your laundry in the desert sun.
  • Security: The site is walled and sheltered, providing a quiet break from the persistent coastal winds.

The staff here are known for their incredibly warm hospitality, greeting travellers with a pot of traditional Sahrawi tea.

If you are heading to Dakhla, this is the last of the full-service campsites in Morocco with reliable hot showers for several hundred kilometres.

15. Dakhla: Las Vegas (Western Sahara)

Dakhla is a world-class destination for kitesurfing, but the ‘Las Vegas’ park-up is a unique and somewhat polarizing phenomenon in the Moroccan vanlife scene – and in our recommendations for Campsites in Morocco. 

Located on the outskirts of the city, this is an informal, expansive desert parking area that has evolved into a semi-permanent settlement for long-term winter travellers.

But I’ve got to be honest – as far as Campsites in Morocco and ones we recommend; this spot in Dakhla is the one we would be the last to recommend.  

Campsite Overview

LocationNorthern Peninsula, Dakhla
TypeInformal Long-Term Parking
Park4Night ID#2550
CostFree 

Facilities & Services

  • Sanitary: None. This is a completely off-grid location.
  • Water: There is a water point available, but it comes with a major caveat: the water is heavily sulfuric and has a very strong, unpleasant odour. Most travellers avoid putting this in their fresh water tanks.
  • Waste: There is no official infrastructure. Long-term residents have established an informal emptying point in the dunes, which is far from ideal for the environment. It is gross! 

Why Stay? 

We only recommend this spot as a safe, free place to sleep for a night before you tackle the long drive to the Mauritanian border.

You will see European motorhomes that have been here for months, some even building makeshift fences around their rigs. It is a very specific subculture that won’t appeal to everyone.

It is a wide-open space with plenty of room, but it lacks the charm and hospitality of the family-run sites further north. 

We parked one night just to sleep without using any ‘facilities’ and can only recommend this campsite in Morocco as a safe place to park before crossing the border to Mauritania and beyond.

Essential Tips: Campsites in Morocco

Ready for the Moroccan adventure? 

Now you have the rundown on our favourite Campsites in Morocco, here are a few last tips for the road: 

  • Apps to Download: Before you cross the border, download Park4Night and iOverlander. These are the “bibles” of Moroccan camping.
  • Money: Always keep small change (10 and 20 MAD notes) for the Guardians.
  • Water: Moroccan water is generally fine for washing, but travellers should stick to bottled or filtered water for drinking.
  • Connectivity: Grab a Maroc Telecom or INWI SIM Card (with unlimited data) at the first opportunity. Coverage is surprisingly good, even in the desert.

Morocco is a country that rewards the curious. Whether you’re parked in a muddy field in Asilah or under the minarets of Marrakech, the hospitality of the Moroccan people and the sheer freedom of the road make it a motorhoming destination like no other.

Enjoy it all and take pleasure in the privilege to visit each of these unique and friendly Campsites in Morocco. 

Bon Voyage!
