Travelling to Morocco by Motorhome

the motoroamers

In this Travelling to Morocco by Motorhome post, we take an in-depth look at everything to do with bringing your motorhome to and touring around this fascinating north African country. We focus on what you need to do before you come and how to arrive smoothly in Morocco by Motorhome .  There are a lot of reports about where to sail from, and whilst everyone’s experiences are, for sure, valid and personal, we wanted to share our practical tips based on our two journeys in February 2020 and January 2023. Our aim is to quell those raging doubts and fears and give you both the knowledge and confidence to make this epic journey to Morocco by motorhome.

motorhome tour morocco

Part 1. What to do before travelling to Morocco by Motorhome

Whilst you may be like us and enjoy winging it – there are some destinations that really need some fore-thought. Morocco is one of them and Norway another. For Morocco, plenty of preparation is required. In part because it’s a different continent and the requirements are different to a majority of Europe. And also because, for many Moroccan newbies, it has a feel of taking us out of our comfort zone. Travelling with huge anxiety is not a great mix and so we must do some homework to make sure that our experiences are positive and fulfilling and not fear-making. 

We hope that this section might allay some apprehension as you begin to dream and think about taking your motorhome to Morocco.

1. Check out your Insurance and Breakdown cover – Green Card

Travelling to Morocco by motorhome has become a little more tricky, from an insurance point of view, as it has been withdrawn from many UK motorhome insurance policies – European firms may be different.  So your first step is to enquire about your particular company’s terms and conditions.  If they do allow for you to travel to Morocco in your motorhome, then you need to ask for a Green Card which gives you Fully Comprehensive cover during your stay in the country. You  will though need to give them specific dates of travel. 

If like our insurers Comfort, they no longer cover Morocco even with a Green Card, then don’t give up.  There are a couple of options. First speak to Sterling Insurers (formerly HIC). After much research and speaking to BIBA the Insurance Broker body, we managed to get a quote for temporary, Comprehensive cover for Morocco. This is, superficially excellent news and a game changer for many, although get ready  for the eye watering price; between £750-970 for between 2-3 months. Now that quote was based on our van’s age and circumstances, so your quote might be more or less or perhaps even they won’t cover you at all. Although it is worth a conversation with them.

The second option is picking up 3rd Party Insurance at the Port in Tangier Med. We paid €200 (payable in cash I hasten to add) for three month’s cover. Whether it will be worth the paper it is written on,  we hope we don’t need to find out. We realise that many would not want to risk a 3rd party cover, although having been to Morocco before, we weighed up the risks and decided it would be worth it. 

We also do not have any Breakdown cover, as given our insurance is covered by Comfort, and they no longer cover Morocco, we must rely on local breakdown. That said even when they did provide cover, Comfort’s European Breakdown with DAS wasn’t covered in Morocco anyway. So we still would have been reliant on a local breakdown recovery service. It is worth mentioning that the Moroccans are super helpful and skilled and a quick call to the local town mechanic will get you recovered and repaired.

2. Check your Travel/Health Insurance

If you already have Travel Insurance, then check that Morocco is covered, because whether you are travelling in the Brexit transition or not, the EHIC card is not useable here. As we travel full-time, we needed to secure our cover whilst out of our home country, and most UK companies will not therefore instigate cover.  So we sought the best deal from those that will cover you whilst you are already travelling. The quote ranged from £113.20 to £355.80 for two people without and pre-existing conditions. We chose True Traveller as they had the lowest quote for us for our one month road-trip. Make sure you choose the European Cover and not Worldwide, as Morocco is covered under the EU countries. The other insurer options are:

                                              World Nomads       True Traveller     Worldwide Insurance

3. Internet/Apps/Telephones  

Talk to your telephone supplier as their coverage and packages don’t cover Morocco and you will be charged crazy prices for calls and data, as it comes under International Rates. You will need to buy a Moroccan SIM card for calls and data, so you will need them to unlock your phone (you can do this online with most companies). Whilst some campsites have wifi, it’s not always great, like anywhere and whilst you are out travelling, you will want to have connectivity.

Our advice is to make sure you have off-line versions of the apps you use most often. Before you leave Spain for Morocco, make sure you have downloaded all the Moroccan maps for your maps.me app, if you have it.  Also we use Park4Night for wild camping and so bought the off-line version for £8.42 per year, and the Search for  Sites app for campsites for £5.99 per year. 

4. Documentation to take with you

Like with travel to most countries, you will need:

  • Passports and copies in case you loose them
  • V5 – in Morocco this is known as the Carte de Gris – the grey card
  • Your MOT certificate as it is reported that sometimes Police wish to check this
  • Hard copies of your Travel/Health Insurance and your Vehicle Insurance
  • There is some debate about whether you do need  an IDP. Some websites we read said yes others no. So to be on the safe side we arranged to have ours updated. Piece of mind!
  • Your Green Card (if your Insurers provide one.)

                                             

5. Plans for maximising your LPG

Morocco doesn’t have any LPG, so you will need to judge the use of gas carefully, especially if you are coming for over a month or more.  So think about options for conserving your gas. Obviously campsites will give you access to EHU. Although they are not always powerful enough to give you enough wattage for your fridge to stay on. Although from a cooking perspective and for the limited options for wild camping, then may be you will need to look at other gas saving approaches. You can buy Moroccan gas bottles and simply  buy a Tandor , which is their regulator and add this to your outside gas point. We have one at the ready if it becomes necessary. 

Additionally, we invested in a few electrical items. The first was a Remoska which is a fabulous electric oven that cooks pretty much anything, in about an hour, just like a normal oven.  It even works off the inverter whilst you are driving and is a great gas saving resource. 

We also have a two-plate electric stove (and a back up in case it fails). You can buy them from Argos in the UK and El Cortes Inglés in Spain. We also purchased a low-wattage slow cooker, so we have a lot of options available to us to converse our precious gas.

That is a big undertaking. I think you guys have gotten the hang of this now, and seem to have smooth sailing most of the time.

Sue Moore

We have been to Morocco 4 times, it’s lovely country with very friendly people. Our van insurers are saga and they charge £25 for the green card for the 3 months we were there. If you are taking a dog you must have a blood test done at home to prove they have rabies antibodies and you must have the certificate from your vets to prove it’s been done, a stamp in there passport is not good enough. Its required for reentering Spain if you don’t have it they can put your dog into quarantine.

Myles Davies

Sound advice for pet owners Sue. It really is a lovely country, much greener than we anticipated although haven’t been south yet, lol

Sue Cowman

Thank you very useful information as it’s something we are considering doing at a later date. Have fun and stay safe x

You’re very welcome Sue. Put it on your list. It’s a must

Gerard

I just arrived in Morocco yesterday. I consulted your post when planning my trip, and had it open on my phone from my arrival in Algeciras until my final exit from Tangier Med. I can’t thank you enough!!

Karen Davies

Hi Gerard and Sue, what a great piece of feedback thank you. We’ve got a great ebook we can share with you too. I’ll drop you an email that might be helpful too. We are due over to Morocco next month, so it is great to know that the process is still current. We really appreciate your comment. Kx

Michele

Hi Karen Were looking into travelling to Morocco and you e book and blog is valuable advice that I’m studying. Can you tell me if you’ve got over yet and what the ferry prices are? I searched on the transmediterrean site and it appears to be around €600 return ! Does that seem right ? Hope to get over and maybe see you in travels if your over for a while

Hi Michele glad to hear that the resources have been helpful. We are travelling over next Tuesday/Wednesday although if you go to Carlos in Algeciras you should get prices for the ferry of around €300 for a motorhome and two adults. We’ll give you an update when we cross next week. The co-ords are in the book and blog for Carlos. Just make sure you have cash not credit card. Kx

Pete Gee

Very useful. Your info helped get us here safely.

BTW do get yourself a voltage regulator or you may need a new fridge(£2000) Bricoma has them about£50 . Avoid Mr Bricolage as unhelpful and all branches are separate franchises. You need 2000kVA

Lisa

Morocco is high on our bucket list but I’d never thought of doing it my motorhome. Lots to think about now!

It was a doddle Lisa. You’ll really enjoy it.

Nicky

I’m so happy to see you guys heading to Morocco. As you know we’ll be in Spain with our car this summer and we’re thinking of flying to a Morocco for a couple of weeks…we never even considered taking the car with us. So you’ve just opened up a world of opportunities. Plus, I want to meet Carlos 😂 Safe trip guys!

Carlos is legend. So is the A4 handwritten note that says I’m in the Bar next door. lol. We had a great time Nicky

Heather

I love how chock full of details this post is! I definitely want to get to Morocco so will be closely following your adventures!

We had a blast Heather and so will you.

Alma

Would love to visit Morocco but not sure if I would undertake it in a motor home (or caravan, for that matter)! But that is what adventure is about… Great comprehensive guide and enjoy your travels.

Carol Binghsm

Wouldn’t recommend a caravan as many of the roads are quite rough. Although lots of French Motorhomes have trailers…

I can see plenty of caravans on the campsite Carol. The roads in fairness have been better than the pot holed ones in the UK although we are only in Moulay Boussalham which is in the north. Will update folk as to the road conditions as we head further south but so far no problems.

Jean

Thank you for this clear and concise information, certainly helps the anxiety levels.

No worries. Nothing to worry about. Morocco is a great place to visit.

Moir

Fascinating read – thank you! Doubt I’ll be able to persuade himself to take our motorhome but I can hope……

Happy travels!

That’s a shame Moir. If you need any persuasive help we are here, lol

Carol Bingham

Your advice regarding conserving has is OK but the electricity on many campsites is far from adequate. Sometimes barely enough to run the fridge and it can do damage… we have installed a voltage regulator to solve this….

They sometimes claim to give you 6 amps and even if you get this it probably won’t run a kettle etc. Or it may do for a bit and then trip everything.

There is no simple solution for a long trip other than buying a local gas bottle….

Regarding Carlos: his daughters’ now run the business

We didn’t see him in January but he was around last time we booked….

Also you get a complimentary bottle of wine and a cake or biscuits with you ticket…

Tis true, Carlos is looking a bit old and his daughter was behind the counter when we entered. Probably best as I saw a hand written a4 poster blue tacked to the copier which said ‘ I’m in the bar next door’. LOL. In and out in 5 minutes, no hassle. Perfect. Haven’t tried the wine yet.

A common problem across Europe but I can only report that we have used a remoska (800W) external oven on two separate campsites and had no issues so far. We will report a more comprehensive assessment on the state of the electricity supplies in campsites after completing our months trip but for now no issues.

Another thing to add about customs etc is that drones are not allowed in Morocco. They only asked us about them and guns… didn’t check for alcohol… Good thing as we had a load of gin and wine boxes under the floor…

Richa Jain

I have never traveled with motorhome and it looks like a lot of preparation is required to go with one. Seems like fun, hope you had a great time there

Still having a great time, Richa. Still here and loving it.

Jenn - The Solivagant Soul

I love how detailed your posts are. I am from Spain and I had no idea you could sail to Morocco from anywhere but Tarifa or Algeciras. And I am shocked you did not have any problems, I have heard that almost anyone who passes by ferry with anything larger than a car is thoroughly registered. I would have thought that arriving with a motorhome would be even more of a problem. HAppy to be wrong!

It couldn’t have been easier Jenn. we had a great time

Rhonda Albom

Interesting read. We travelled in Morocco by train, and then later we rented a car. My neighbours had a campervan throughout Europe and left it in Spain when they went to Morocco. You made the steps really clear, but it still seems a bit of work. We had only handshake deal on our car (I still can’t believe we did that AND it turned out fine.)

I know Rhonda. really easy and we had a great time. Can’t wait to go back.

David Denham

Very interesting indeed, I am considering spending 3 months in Morocco once we are no longer allowed to be in Schengen for more than 90 days in 180. So this info is valuable. Thanks a lot. David (travelingvan47)

You’re very welcome David. We are going back for 3 months next year too. See you there, lol

Graham

How many camels were you offered for Karen? 😂 Thanks for another great ‘how to’ post. Maroc is on our to do list. We have been before in 2013 but not in a motorhome. Safe travels.

Hi Graham – sadly they didn’t even offer any camels. Perhaps I was just too assertive for them! It is a great country for motorhome travels and let’s hope we will soon all be free to travel there again soon. Karen x

Mike

Having been before, I think this post has given us even more reason to go back and explore some more. Thanks, really good post to read.

Hi Mike, that’s great to hear. We shall certainly be returning once things have settled down and the world feels more stable. Thanks for your feedback. Kx

Tim

Thanks for the really useful post 🙂 We’re coming as a family with our young children next winter (as long as the ferries are running) – can’t wait!

However, I just spoke to Comfort and they assured me that they can’t cover Morocco anymore 🙁

Will try Saga and others…

Thanks again

…or maybe not as I’m not over 50!

Ah yes will be a restriction. You could of course get third party cover at the port, although we always feel as if that isn’t really enough cover.

Hi Tim, our pleasure. Yes sadly Comfort have withdrawn their cover for Morocco, Turkey and Montenegro which is a deal breaker for us. So sadly we will be departing from them and going with Saga who do provide cover. I believe they are the only ones who do. Good luck with your search and your plans. Karen

John Ashton

Great read, loads of useful tips so thank you. You were recommended to us by a friend and glad we found you. We are also full time van livers and Morocco looks really inviting.

Be safe and maybe see you on the road somewhere.

Hi John thanks so much for your feedback. Glad it’s been so helpful. As you might have read below, Gerard used this blog throughout his arrival into Morocco and got through with no stress. I have also popped link to our free to download eBook as well, which has a lot more information that might be helpful for you. Have a great trip and likewise hope to see you ‘out there’. Karen x

David Dredge

Firstly let me thank you for such an informative blog. We hope to go to Morocco next year. Two questions: we hear of “hassle”, particularly from children for sweets and toys. Is this an issue? Also we have a motorbike in our garage. We are nit planning to use it (lack of insurance?) but presumably it needs to be declared on entry?

Good morning David. Our pleasure, I’m glad it has been helpful. I don’t think I would describe it as hassle. Yes there are children in some areas that stand on the street asking for ‘stilos’ or ‘bon bons’ although you just drive on by. We were given a great piece of advice by a local that we must not give them gifts, unless it is for a whole school or community. If they receive gifts from their begging of a tourist, the advice was that they will become conditioned this way. So as hard as it might be, we must resist giving them what they ask for. So no, we didn’t find it an issue. Regarding your motorbike yes I would declare it. And in fact you might want to get insurance at the border for it as there were a number of times during our month’s tour where we would love to have had a motorbike to get around. I can’t give a definitive about what action to take regarding the bike as we don’t have one, although we have friends about to embark so if I can get an update, I’ll let you know. Kx

Huw Evans

Great article thanks. Just a note that LV offer fully comprehensive for Morocco and will issue a green card to that effect. Ours was £58 for 2 months on top of the reasonable annual premium of £260 for a VW California.

Also you need a ‘1968’ international driving permit (IDP) from the Post Office to drive in Morocco.

Safe travels!

Good morning Huw, thank you for the feedback and knowing about LV. We have also found that Sterling Insurance will give you a temporary cover insurance that is comprehensive, although it is an eye-watering £700-900 on top of your annual insurance. Saga also offer comprehensive cover as part of their annual policy although for us as full-timers none of these (except Sterling) are viable. The IDP does seem to be a new requirement since Jan 21 so we have one just yesterday. Kx

Travelling in a motorhome in Morocco requires proper preparation. Let’s delve into the aspects you need to pay attention to, ensuring a safe and enjoyable adventure.

Necessary Documents

Packing for Morocco starts far before you load your luggage into the motorhome. First and foremost, ensuring all required documents are in order sets the ground for a seamless journey.

List of required documents for the trip

A Moroccan motorhome adventure mandates specific documents:

  • A valid passport with at least 6 months remaining before expiry.
  • Motorhome registration documents, evidencing ownership or valid rental agreement.
  • International driving permit, acknowledged by Moroccan authorities.
  • Insurance for the vehicle, extending covers to Morocco.
  • Visa if required, depending on your nationality.

Being prepared with these key documents, you’ll bypass potential hiccups at the Moroccan border points and within the country.

Explanation of how to obtain these documents

Start with your passport. If it’s nearing its expiry, apply for a renewal at your local government office or via their online process. The motorhome registration documents should be obtained from the vehicle provider, whether you own it or are renting. If you’re renting, ensure the rental agreement permits international travel and is in English or French.

An international driving permit (IDP) can generally be acquired from local motoring authorities in your home country. And as for vehicle insurance, consult with your current provider about extending the coverage to include Morocco.

In the case that you require a visa to enter Morocco, the specific process will depend on your nationality but typically involves an application at a Moroccan embassy or consulate in your home country.

What to Pack

Packing smart for a Moroccan motorhome adventure means considering essential items for the trip, along with specific elements unique to Morocco.

Essential items to bring on a motorhome trip

Different from standard holiday packing, a motorhome journey requires some extra considerations. Ensure you pack basic maintenance tools, spare parts, a first aid kit, and emergency roadside equipment. Comfort essentials such as suitable bedding, cooking utensils, and a water purifier are also key.

Specific items needed for Morocco

Morocco presents its own unique environment and cultural requirements. It is suggested to bring a lightweight scarf to protect from desert sand and for respectful attire when visiting sacred sites. A power converter accommodating Morocco’s European-style outlets may also be necessary. Study the local climate for your travel period to pack suitable clothing.

Choosing the Right Motorhome

Taking into account various factors can help identify the ideal motorhome for an adventure in Morocco.

Factors to consider when choosing a motorhome

Size and manoeuvrability matter. Smaller sized motorhomes make navigating narrow city streets and winding mountain roads more manageable. Adequate storage space for all your essentials and a reliable water and power system are also important considerations.

Recommendations based on personal experience

Motorhomes equipped with hardy tires and a robust suspension system are advantageous for Moroccan terrain, coping well with variable road conditions. An integrated navigation system can also be a significant aid.

By ensuring effective preparation – from gathering necessary documents, packing wisely, to selecting a suitable motorhome, you’re creating a solid foundation for your memorable Moroccan motorhome journey. Ready set go, off to Morocco!

Day 1-2: Starting the Adventure in Marrakech

  • Discover what the city of Marrakech entails.
  • Navigate top sights and activities.
  • Get the best motorhome parking and camping hacks.

Description of Marrakech

Marrakech is a vibrant city full of life. Nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech, often fondly referred to as the Red City, is a tapestry of old-world charm and modern comfort. Its bustling markets, known as souks, radiate with the colourful crafts of local artisans. On the other side, the city offers contemporary attractions, including high-end boutiques and top-class restaurants.

Recommended Attractions and Activities

As you drive your motorhome into the city, make sure not to miss the iconic Jardin Majorelle, a beautifully designed garden, and the astonishing Bahia Palace, which is known for its intricate designs. The Koutoubia Mosque, the largest in Marrakech, is a dominating sight you wouldn’t miss. A leisurely stroll in the heart of Marrakech, Jemaa el-Fnaa, in the late evening guarantees a colourful cultural experience. Just remember, a trip to Marrakech is not complete without a spa day at a traditional Moroccan hammam.

Tips for Motorhome Parking and Camping

Morocco in Motorhome: tips, areas, itineraries

Do you want to discover all the different facets of Morocco, all aboard a motorhome? If you prefer to rent it directly on-site, it is recommended to make an online reservation in advance to ensure that there are vehicles available upon arrival.

To get a motorhome, we recommend that you go through an online motorhome and van rental platform. These sites are now legion on the road trip and wild camping market. The principle is simple: you choose the desired vehicle – according to the daily price, the type of motorhome/van/campervan, and the equipment of the vehicle -, and you send a rental request to the owner.

Driving in Morocco by motorhome: the traffic rules to know

Morocco in Motorhome: tips, areas, itineraries

Are you wondering if it is safe or difficult to drive to Morocco to visit it in a motorhome or a campervan? If we say that driving in Morocco is dangerous, it is a prejudice: it is only dangerous in large cities. But the Cherifian Empire is an excellent country to do by motorhome.

Before going into the subject, good news: there are many gas stations in the country and prices are very reasonable (about 1 € per liter). Note that, to drive and visit Morocco by motorhome, the French license is enough. In addition, it is not necessary to apply for a visa for stays of less than 90 days (only a passport is required).

Safety and equipment

The vehicle must be equipped with a reflective vest, a spare wheel, and a warning triangle in the event of an accident. It is also mandatory to fasten your seat belt for all passengers in the vehicle.

Circulation

Driving is done, on the right lane with overtaking by the left. The state of the road network is constantly improving because the State invests massively in road infrastructure. However, it is necessary to be extra careful because motorists (scooters and bikers) can be dangerous.

When driving at night, keep in mind that obstacles are often undetectable. Also, pay attention to mountain roads. Some, especially those with a large overhang, are without guardrails. Another tip: during crossings, in case of malfunction of the traffic lights, listen to the horns to know what to do.

The blood alcohol level is 0. Since Morocco is a Muslim country, the government does not allow any tolerance of alcohol. It is better not to try to drink even a drink before driving because the penalties can go up to a prison sentence.

Speed limits

In Morocco, the speed limits are as follows:

· 40 km/h in city centers,

· 60 km/h in built-up areas,

· 100 km/h outside built-up areas,

Be sure to scrupulously respect the speed limits, because the police equipped with radars and binoculars are numerous, even in isolated places: fines rain down in Morocco!.

Morocco in Motorhome: tips, areas, itineraries

Wild camping

In Morocco, wild camping is prohibited. But it is worth nuanced because visiting Morocco in a motorhome and campervan and stopping at a parking space (for example) is less like wild camping than a free bivouac. Provided, however, that you do not install tables, chairs, gas stoves, and deckchairs on public roads. There are more and more campgrounds in Morocco anyway, even if the pitches can be very rudimentary, consisting of dry and rocky terrain, with simple access to sanitary facilities.

You will be able to park in all regular parking spaces, but avoid parking to sleep in urban areas, city centers, and isolated places, especially near the borders of Mauritania and Algeria.

Know that you can always try to draw our favorite application in terms of road-trip: Park4night . This mobile application is simply a Bible of the itinerant trip to visit Morocco by motorhome, van, or van (and for all other countries in Europe). It is a tool for sharing places where travelers in vans and campervans have bivouacked. You no longer spend long hours wandering to find THE "spot" to spend a night, sometimes with the stress of being dislodged by the police or a night shortened by a late arrival.

The application thus references a multitude of places: campsites, areas for motorhomes, paid or free parking spaces, and outdoor places. You compare comments and reviews (rated 5 stars) and you can guide yourself through GPS coordinates to the place indicated on an interactive map, provided you have a mobile data network. And that, outside the Moroccan agglomerations, it is not guaranteed!.

How to get to Morocco by motorhome?

Morocco in Motorhome: tips, areas, itineraries

Morocco and its wide open spaces can be easily discovered by motorhome. Getting to Morocco by motorhome is possible in two ways: one with a lot of ferries, the other with the little ferry.

The best option if you come from Europe (north and west) is from Spain, you can go to Ceuta or Tangier Med. Ceuta is one of the two Spanish enclaves located in Morocco. The crossing between Algeciras and Ceuta has the advantage of being fast but the disadvantage of presenting more complex passage formalities. It is therefore advisable to go to Tangier Med, always from Algeciras or from Tarifa, further south. Count about 200 € per crossing, all-inclusive.

When is the best time to visit Morocco by motorhome?

Morocco in Motorhome: tips, areas, itineraries

When should you visit Morocco by motorhome or campervan? Morocco experiences several climates due to its great geographical diversity. Summer can be scorching, especially in the case of sirocco, and the thermal amplitude can be significant in the desert (cold nights, scorching days). Rain can be abundant in the mountains in the Rif and Middle Atlas, except in summer.

Although the Moroccan climate is generally the Mediterranean, the country is influenced by Atlantic currents, with a dry and hot season combined with a cold and wet season. In the south of Morocco and in the Saharan regions, the climate is desert and dry. Depending on the regions visited, there is a climate counterbalanced by oceanic, Mediterranean, mountain, continental, and Saharan influences.

The best time to visit Morocco by motorhome and/or campervan is spring (April and May) and early autumn (October). It is dry and the temperatures are neither suffocating nor freezing.

However, even in winter, you can visit Morocco by motorhome. But without climbing on the snowy heights of the Atlas. The days can be pleasant (25°C) in the plain and the weather is mild all year round along the Atlantic coast. In December, for example, the average temperature is 21°C, 20°C in January, and 21.5°C in February in Agadir. Be careful, it will logically be much cooler in the north.

To purchase a motorhome, we recommend you use an online campervan or motorhome rental platform. These sites are now legion on the road-trip and wild camping market. The principle is simple: you choose the vehicle you want – based on the daily price, the type of camper/van, the vehicle’s equipment – and send a rental request to the owner.

The final step is to receive a confirmation e-mail after your online payment. Then you can set off on your Moroccan road trip with complete peace of mind!

Driving a motorhome in Morocco

Morocco Motorhome Adventure: Are you wondering whether it’s safe or difficult to drive around Morocco in a motorhome or van? If people say that driving in Morocco is dangerous, it’s a prejudice: it’s only dangerous in the big cities. But the Cherifian Empire is an excellent country to visit by motorhome.

Before getting into the subject, here’s some good news: there are plenty of petrol stations in the country, and prices are much lower than in France (around €1 per liter). Note that, to drive and visit Morocco in a motorhome, a French driving license is sufficient. What’s more, there’s no need to apply for a visa for stays of less than 90 days (only a passport is required).

Safety and equipment

The vehicle must be equipped with a reflective vest, a spare wheel and a warning triangle in the event of an accident. Seatbelts must be fastened for all passengers in the vehicle.

As in France, driving is on the right-hand lane, with overtaking on the left. The state of the road network is constantly improving, as the government is investing heavily in road infrastructure. However, you need to be extra careful, as motorists (including scooters and motorcyclists) can be dangerous.

Take care when driving at night, as obstacles are often invisible. And beware of mountain roads. Some of them – with significant overhangs – have no guardrails. Another tip: when crossing the road, if the traffic lights malfunction, listen to the horns so you know what to do.

Blood alcohol level

The blood-alcohol limit is 0. As Morocco is a Muslim country, the government has no tolerance for alcohol. It’s best not to try even one drink before driving, as penalties can include imprisonment.

Speed limits

Morocco Motorhome Adventure: Speed limits in Morocco are as follows:

40 km/h in city centers,

60 km/h in built-up areas,

100 km/h outside built-up areas,

120 km/h on freeways.

Make sure you scrupulously observe the speed limits, as there are plenty of police officers equipped with radar and binoculars, even in remote areas: fines are plentiful in Morocco!

Freeway tolls in Morocco

As the Moroccan system is inspired by the French “model”, there are toll freeways in Morocco, particularly on the highways linking the country’s major cities. If you’re visiting Morocco by motorhome, you’ll pay class 2 tolls if your 2-axle vehicle is over 130 cm high.

The Moroccan motorway network measures 1,839 kilometers and the network of free expressways 1,093 kilometers: one of the densest networks on the African continent.

The freeways, marked with blue signs, are as follows:

A1: Tangier-Kenitra-Rabat-Casablanca-El Jadida-Safi,

A2: Rabat-Meknès-Fès-Taza-Oujda,

A3: Casablanca urban freeway,

A4: Tangier Med-Tangier,

A5: Rabat bypass,

A6: Fnideq-Tétouan,

A7: Casablanca-Marrakech-Agadir,

A8: Berrechid-Khourribga-Béni Mellal.

Here is a range of rates for the busiest freeway sections, in class 2:

Casablanca-Rabat: 34 DH (€3.18),

Rabat-Tanger: 120 DH (€11.24),

Casablanca-Marrakech: 120 DH (11.24 €),

Rabat-Fès: 76 DH (7.12 €)

Marrakech-Agadir: 152 DH (€14.23).

Fares are indeed much lower than in France!

Camper parks in Morocco

Wild camping

As in France, unauthorized camping is prohibited in Morocco. But there are some nuances: visiting Morocco in a camper van or van and stopping at a parking space (for example) is less like wild camping than free bivouac. Provided, however, that you don’t set up tables, chairs, gas stoves and deckchairs on the public highway. In any case, you’ll find more and more campsites in Morocco, even if the pitches can be very rudimentary, consisting of a dry, rocky area with simple access to sanitary facilities.

Morocco Motorhome Adventure: As in France, you’ll be able to park in all regular parking spaces, but avoid parking to sleep in built-up areas, city centers and isolated spots, especially near the borders with Mauritania and Algeria.

You can always try our favorite road-trip app: Park4night. This mobile application is quite simply a road-trip bible for visiting Morocco by motorhome, van or camper van (and for all other European countries). It’s a tool for sharing the places where travelers in vans and motorhomes have bivouacked. You no longer have to spend long hours wandering around to find THE “spot” to spend a night, sometimes with the stress of being turned away by the police or a night cut short by a late arrival.

The application references a multitude of places: campsites, motorhome parks, free or paid parking spaces, open-air venues. You can compare comments and reviews (rated out of 5 stars) and use GPS coordinates to guide you to the location indicated on an interactive map, provided you have a mobile data network. And that’s not guaranteed outside Moroccan urban areas!

How do I get to Morocco by motorhome?

Morocco and its wide-open spaces are easy to discover by motorhome. There are two ways to get to Morocco by motorhome: one with many ferries, the other with few.

Ferrying to Morocco from France is possible from Marseille with one ferry company. However, the trip isn’t always insured and, above all, the bill usually comes to over €1,000 for two people and a vehicle! In other words, this option is not really the most advisable.

By far the best option, depending on your departure city, is to cross France and then Spain. The main cost will be petrol, and you should expect to pay between €160 and €210 per crossing, depending on the speed and fuel consumption of your vehicle.

From Spain, you can go to Ceuta or Tangier Med. One of two Spanish enclaves in Morocco is Ceuta. The crossing between Algeciras and Ceuta has the advantage of being quick, but the disadvantage of being more complex. It is therefore advisable to go to Tanger Med, still from Algeciras, or from Tarifa, further south. Allow around €200 per crossing, all inclusive.

When is the best time to travel by camper van in Morocco?

When is the best time to visit Morocco in a motorhome or camper van? Morocco has many different climates, thanks to its great geographical diversity. Summer can be torrid, especially when the sirocco is blowing, and the temperature range can be considerable in the desert (cold nights, torrid days). Rainfall can be abundant in the mountains of the Rif and Middle Atlas, except in summer.

Although Morocco’s climate is generally Mediterranean, the country is also influenced by Atlantic currents, with a hot, dry season combined with a cold, wet one. In southern Morocco and the Saharan regions, on the other hand, the climate is dry and desert-like. Depending on the region visited, the climate is balanced by oceanic, Mediterranean, mountain, continental and Saharan influences.

The best time to visit Morocco in a camper van and/or van is spring (April and May) and early autumn (October). The weather is dry, and temperatures are neither suffocating nor freezing.

However, even in winter, you can visit Morocco by motorhome. But without climbing to the snow-covered heights of the Atlas Mountains. Days can be pleasant (25°C) on the plains, and the weather is mild all year round along the Atlantic coast. For example, average temperatures in Agadir are 21°C in December, 20°C in January and 21.5°C in February. Beware, however, that it will logically be much cooler in the north.

Morocco by motorhome or van - Circuit tour of Morocco + itinerary + map

You want to visit the Morocco in motorhome and look for a good route for road trip that goes around Morocco ? Here is the circuit of my trip which allowed me to discover all the facets of Morocco by following a loop route from Tangier.

I tell you all about the organization of this  1 month road trip in Morocco and communicate to you my detailed itinerary as well as the google map that you can follow in GPS mode.

My road trip in Morocco in a motorhome

Morocco in a motorhome - When to go?

The best times to visit Morocco by motorhome are the  spring  et autumn . Indeed, it is the two seasons that allow you to enjoy a dry climate and avoid excessively hot temperatures.

However, even in winter, temperatures are mild especially along the coast. This is why many European retirees go to the Moroccan coast to spend the whole winter there.

Morocco in motorhome - How long ?

If you just want to discover the  essentials of Morocco , 15 days tour is quite achievable. But if you want to discover the most beautiful sites in Morocco, enjoy its beautiful beaches, stroll in its souks, go on beautiful hikes in the Atlas…. in short to travel in vacation mode, I recommend that you allow 1 month to do the circuit detailed below.

This itinerary is therefore a base that you can adapt to the number of days you have available. It's a circuit 1 months but completely customizable by eliminating a few steps for a 15 or 20 day road trip .

Morocco in a motorhome - Where to rent a vehicle?

For those who are not equipped with a van or a camper van, they can rent one to make this road trip in Morocco. Using Yescapa , they can rent a van or a motorhome from a private individual. Transactions are well supervised and insured (payment on the site via a secure area).

Morocco by motorhome - Ferry crossing

The majority of retired campers who go to Morocco prefer to cross all of Spain in a motorhome to take the ferry from there. They must go to Algeciras to board the ferry that goes to Ceuta. Leaving from Algeciras, it is true that the crossing is faster and cheaper than leaving from France.

Indeed, it is quite possible to take the ferry in France (from Sète or Marseille) to go directly to Morocco. However, the crossing is a little longer and necessarily a little more expensive.

However, as I'm not retired, I didn't want to waste too much time traveling through all of Spain. I chose to leave from Sète. And, to have peace of mind, I preferred to book my crossing of the Morocco by ferry on the Internet.

Morocco by van - Formalities

To go to Morocco by van or motorhome, you will need to plan passports for all passengers and short validity visa (max. 3 months). The latter wonders at customs when you will be at the Moroccan border.

The French driving license (European Union model) is accepted everywhere in Morocco. So you don't need the international license.

You will of course have to take all the documents of the van or the camper van (gray card, insurance) as well as the identity cards.

Regarding the health formalities relating to COVID from France, you should consult the latest updates on: Entry formalities in Morocco

Regarding the famous cards that all travelers had to give to the police during police checks, they have not been relevant for more than a year.

But, it is strongly advised not to go wild camping or to park anywhere at night in a van or motorhome in Morocco.

Escape the Schengen Zone

The UK has left the EU which means UK motorhome travellers are now limited to 90 days in a rolling 180 period within the 26 countries of the Schengen Zone . If you want to tour longer than this, you’ll need to spend some time outside of the Schengen zone in a ‘waiting country’. Morocco is ideal as a waiting country, just a short ferry ride from Spain, and well set up for motorhomers, as the thousands of French motorhomes who over-winter there each year will testify.

Morocco by motorhome: a different and unique experience

There are many ways of getting to know a country, but of all of them, the motorhome is probably the one that leaves the greatest impression on the traveler. The sensation of freedom that this formula offers makes it a unique and different experience that you have to try at least once in your life. Traveling to Morocco by motorhome is an excellent way to discover the country’s surprising contrasts and get to know the local culture.

From the Atlantic to the dunes of the Sahara, from the hustle and bustle of the medinas and souks to the solitude of the desert, from the mountains to the coast, and from blue Chaouen to red Marrakech… Morocco is a country to be traveled from end to end. And for this, there is nothing better than the motorhome, which offers you the flexibility you need to do it without rushing, enjoying every moment and all its landscapes.

motorhome tour morocco

Before the trip

When preparing for a trip in a motorhome, the most important thing is to have the necessary documentation ready to enter Morocco. You will need a passport valid for at least three months, a Spanish driving license, vehicle documentation, travel and motorhome insurance, a temporary vehicle import report (D16Ter), and a green card.

Another necessary aspect is to plan the route you are going to take and where you are going to sleep. To do this, there is nothing better than studying a map with the distances between destinations and the main camping sites, so that you can adjust the stages according to the time you have available.

Campsites and roads

Although it’s easy to go camping in Morocco, an excellent option is to sleep at one of the many campsites dotted around the country. Some of them, such as Diamant Vert in Fez or Camping Le Relais in Marrakech , not only offer security, but also the possibility of emptying and filling your tanks.

As for the roads , you should drive within the speed limits, not only comply with current legislation but also as a precaution against the possibility of passers-by, donkeys, dogs, or camels appearing at any moment, which is quite common. For this reason, driving at night is not recommended, nor is driving away from paved roads.

On the other hand, traveling during daylight hours has the advantage of being able to enjoy the beautiful Moroccan scenery. In addition, once at the destination, you can also take part in complementary activities, such as an excursion on a quad bike.

Tips for the route

One of the most frequent doubts for those who are organizing a motorhome trip is whether they should take food supplies with them. This is not necessary. Morocco has rich gastronomy and one of the attractions of the trip is to enjoy it. To do this, you will need cash, as some establishments in certain areas do not accept credit cards. Another possibility is to withdraw money from ATMs in the cities, although the commissions will cost you some money.

As for the best time of year to make a trip in a motorhome, spring is a great option, although you can make the most of your trip in any season. Whatever the date is chosen, having health insurance will also help us to feel more protected in the event of any unforeseen event.

Traveling by motorhome in Morocco offers you the chance to freely enjoy a unique country and get to know its landscapes, its people, its gastronomy, and its customs. A different and fun trip. A breath of freedom that will surely remain forever in your mind, in your memory, and in the hundreds of photographs that you will undoubtedly take.

Getting into Morocco with a Motorhome

motorhome tour morocco

Post a Comment

Great artical. Thanks. What exactly do the "helpers" do? Why are there official ones and others that work for tips? Kevin

Hi Kevin, the "helpers" basically check your paperwork is correct, talk to the officials for you (often jumping the queue) and walk with you through the process. They official ones with (some form of, probably home made!) ID still work for tips, nothing is free in Morocco! We actually found they added to the banter / experience and were really good humoured but perhaps we just had a good one. In our case we passed about 20 vehicles stationary in front of us waiting doing their own paperwork so it was worth it. If it is your first time and you don't want to use them, just tell them that you have been before lots of times and don't need any help. We took this approach on the way back and they disappeared straight away. I would imagine, however, if you was to sail to Tangier Med (which looks fantastic vs Ceuta) then there would be none of this hustle and bustle. Everyone has their own opinions of the "best way" so it's upto you to decide for yourself! :)

thanks for all the good info, do you know if its ok to take sterling and would we get it changed easy enough

I love reading this blog x

Sounds like you get all over the place yourself Sam?

Thank you for this update on entering Morocco, we will be doing this trip in July, so the advice is timely. We plan to try the Tangier route and will let you know how we get on... many thanks! http://riadrenovationproject.blogspot.co.uk/

You've got to tell us more about the Raid Renovation!

Riad Renovation eh? Where to start! Such a crazy adventure. We fell in love with Morocco, Marrakech and Riads a few years ago. Riad Romm'an (arabic for pomegranate) should be habitable by the time we arrive in our van in early July (we are driving from our home in Scotland). More blog updates and photos to follow! Love your blog, its been informative and inspiration for our own trip! x

If bringing a dog into Morocco (with PET passport) at what stage should I let the border officials know that we are doing so? Immigration or customs? Also I was planning to spend two months in Morocco over winter, then a break down to Senegal followed by another three months in Morocco in spring. Would that work with the 90day tourist visa? i.e. two visas - no problems?

Interesting question, I'm afraid we've neither a pet nor have we been to Senegal so perhaps look towards one of the forums (motorhomefacts.com has a good Morocco section) for advice :)

As a fellow blogger I want to thank you for sharing this information. All these details are a pain to document, but this will provide so many followers with the plans they need for a successful crossing. Many Thanks!

Hi there, just stumbled across your blog now! We (the other half and me) are planning on entering Morocco in early October this year! The information above is invaluable! Could I trouble you with a query, we are traveling in a friends camper and V5 is therefore not in our name...could that cause a problem? Thanks Justine

i don't think that should be a problem provided you have a letter authorising you to be in possession of a nd to be using the vehilce in FRENCH which is the second language in Morocco,but to be on the safe side i would check with the Moroccan tourist board, i beleive they are still in Regent st,London.and are quite helpful with visitors to their country,hope this helps,better safe than sorry.

I hope this piece of info will help any one that is heading for Tan Tan and beyond. We are currently just north of Dakhla and would like to make all nationalities aware of the Tan Tan Trap. As you exit Tan Tan through the archway heading for El Ouatia (Tan Tan plage) you will come to a strange junction - part roundabout- part T junction. THERE IS A STOP SIGN IN ARABIC no french or english. NO ROAD MARKINGS where you give way to traffic from the right (There is'nt any and you are turning left towards El Ouatia. The police are waiting 100 yards up the road and it seems that it does not matter what you do they will stop you and fine you a hefty 700dh about £50 for not stopping at the sign. They are taking thousands a day here from all nationalities and are particularly unpleasant. We stopped at the sign with a local car in front. We now understand why he lingered so long at this 'junction'! After he had turned left we rolled forward at snails place (four yards)- no traffic coming - turned left into the 700dh fine. Having talked to many nationalities subsequently, it is not so much the fine as the synical way in which it is being done. They are also quick to their guns if you do protest too much. Refuse to sign and you don't get your documents back. Try to take photos of the offending sign etc and its Midnight Express. This encounter has marred a thoroughly enjoyable trip so far - wonderful help and assistance from all other police and officials. It would be more honest if they just charged a tourist tax on entry rather than do this. Hope it helps someone

Bit disappointing that this is happening on this bit of road - we had similar experiences at Guelmin and Agadir over the past couple of years. Guelmin guys were particularly hard-line. We rolled very slowly past a 'halt'sign some 30 metres in front of them, without stopping dead to wait for them to signal us forward. We learnt our lesson - when in doubt, STOP, and wait for instructions! At Agadir we came across the 'do you want a receipt' routine from the policeman - in other words, do you want a smaller fine for no receipt (which he pockets) or make the policeman complete the official penalty form - which costs more. We chose the official option and paid up. Got away with it in Guelmin - lots of humble apologies and respectful attitude to the police. Once when we were stopped ( god knows why) the policeman actually gave us the 'fine' back after we offered some cash - he was a bit embarrassed.

Hi Sophie & Adam, How much did you pay your open return ticket for 2 pax + the van? We are doing the same trip next month and I am currently comparing prices. Thanks in advance for your help. Kind regards, Estelle & Olivier.

Carlos charges 200 Euros cash, no cards to either port.

just read your blog,great,thank you.Can you tell us what the best time of year to travel to Morrocco? Also can you recommend a route as we know nothing about it.Only just decided to give it a whirl thanks jackie

Morocco is often referred to as a cold country with a hot sun. Its summers are exceptionally hot and winters can be chill to the bone. Morocco’s ranges of climates greatly fluctuate due to the country’s geographic location between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Morocco’s unique weather patterns make it possible to find an ideal area to take a Morocco Tour year round, however, recommended months to experience Morocco fall between October and May. Traveling during Ramadan can a little tricky because many shops and tourist sites close early or permanently to observe the month long holiday. Spring (April and May) and Fall (September and October) are perhaps the best overall time to take a Moroccco Tour. With a summer climate in the south and in the mountains, as well as on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. Winter can be perfect by day in the south, though desert nights can get very cold. If you’re planning to hike in the mountains, it’s best to keep to the months from April to October unless you have some experience in snow conditions. Seasons and weather in Morocco take on a whole new meaning as the country is divided into two climatic zones by the High Atlas Mountains. To the north of the High Atlas, the western winds from the Atlantic contribute to the cooler temperatures of the north. Contrastingly, south of the High Atlas, the weather is influenced by the Sahara desert.

Pork products are sold at all Marjane Hypermarkets and at the Deli in Marche Central in Agadir. Alcohol is only more expensive as there are few "Own Brands". If you always shop at Lidl, then of course it is dearer. A bottle of Vodka in Marjane is 75 dirhams (£5.76) Come On ! I pay twice that in UK . Anthony Keaveny.

Replying to your 1st comment Europe by camper. You said the helpers often jump the queue and that you passed 20 vehicles. Did this not bother you that you jumped the queue and that perhaps elderly and young people was also waiting to get through the border. This is really what you are paying the helpers for.

Since, I was busy working day and night to complete an important assignment, I fulfilled my desire to spend a fun-filled vacation with my friends at the famous places in Lisbon during the festive time, and relish various sea-food recipes to satisfy the taste buds.

Away With The Steiners

Campsites in Morocco: The Ultimate Guide + 20 Campsites We Recommend.

  • By Sarah Steiner
  • Updated On April 15, 2024

Let me guess; you have been driving around Europe or looking into vanlife in Europe for the summer but suddenly realise the winter months (and those trusty Schengen deadlines) are approaching? If you’ve considered Morocco with your motorhome the chances are your next question is about the campsites in Morocco and what they are like…

After more than six months of traveling in Morocco by motorhome it’s safe to say we love Morocco! It is a haven for van life, motorhomes, campervans and just generally a fantastic experience of overland and travel all around.

We have compiled a list of more than 20 campsites in Morocco we recommend.

These are places we found to be a good stop for one, two or multiple days that have us already planning how and when we can return to Morocco and do it all over again!

A little bit about Morocco; just quickly

  • Land area:   The land has a total area of 446,550 km² (172,414 mi²) 
  • Length:  Total coastline of 1,835 km (1,140.2 mi).   
  • Population:  37.08 million (2021)
  • Climate:  Mean annual temperature for Morocco is 18°C, with average monthly temperatures ranging between 9.4°C (December, January) and 26°C (July, August).
  • Weather:  The north of Morocco has a Mediterranean style climate with 30°C summers and pleasant spring and autumn months.  The coastline experiences a cooler wind and maintains temperatures of 31°C during summer reaching lows of 5°C (41°F) in winter.
  • Landscape:  Morocco has a combination of mountains, coastlines and desert with the high Atlas Mountains separating the mild coastline from the harsh Sahara Desert. 

Our travel route through Morocco

Almost every traveller arriving in Morocco by motorhome travels by ferry from mainland Europe and arrives to one of the main ports in Morocco’s northern and Mediterranean coast. 

We arrived to Tangier Med with our motorhome and have spent two months driving from Tangier Med all the way south to the last town of Dakhla.  (That’s a lot of campsites in Morocco we’ve tried and tested!).  

Here is the route we took through each region starting from the ferry port in Tangier Med all the south to Dakhla.

Types of camping and campsites in Morocco 

A huge question on the mind of many travellers coming to Morocco with a van or motorhome is with regards to freedom camping, wild camping and the options of campsites in Morocco.  

Wild camping is tolerated in Morocco although it is always advisable to do so without trespassing and away from the main cities and towns. 

However, the  main overnight parking for motorhomes in Morocco  consists of two types:

Dakhla – Oued Ed-Dahab (Western Sahara) Campsites in Morocco

Dakhla: las vegas western sahara  .

  • Location:  Dakhla 
  • Type:  Motorhome parking 
  • Park4Night:  #2550
  • Cost:  Free
  • Facilities:  None

About:  Ok, although I have written that there are no facilities; there is in fact the option to fill water for your motorhome at this parking spot.  But (a very large BUT) the water is incredibly sulphuric and smells disgusting.  

As far as campsites in Morocco and ones we recommend; this overnight parking spot in Dakhla is the one we would be the last to recommend.  

European motorhomes are set up to stay long-term with fences built around their vehicles (I kid you not) and a waste point up in the sand dunes where they empty the cassette.  

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.

Finding a safe place to park your motorhome in Morocco 

So there you have it! There are many great campsites in Morocco that are perfect for motorhomes, vans or whatever kind of traveling vehicle you arrive in!  

We know that when we leave Morocco we will really miss the friendly concept of guarded parking and the possibilities to explore local and older areas of each city that this type of park offers.  

But there are also many fantastic paid campsites in Morocco that are very reasonably priced and more than anything are friendly and welcoming and will make your motorhome adventures in Morocco something to remember forever!

Read what our customers have to say about their experience

Hi! I’m Andy Mckettrick, the bestselling author of ‘Go West’ – A handy guide to visiting Northern Spain in a Motorhome and ‘Flip Flops & Falafel’ – A handy guide to visiting Morocco in a Motorhome.

I was born within sight of The Shankly Gates, Liverpool and after a decade as a Joiner, nine miserable years as a Driving Instructor and ‘way too long’ running a B&B in North Wales, I relocated to Cantabria in Northern Spain. Having discovered my lovely Gordi in a Spanish wheelie bin over 9 years ago, we’ve been travelling together, virtually full-time throughout Europe and North Africa.

Our original trip was meant to last around 5 weeks but we didn’t return home until 18 months later! Once home, I knew I couldn’t go back to my old life. I wanted to travel. I wanted to make this our life. Three months later, Gordi & I were back on the road again and we haven’t stopped writing and travelling since.

I now offer fully escorted Motorhome Tours that are well organised, exciting and reliable with clear information and you even have your own dedicated European checklist for a seamless experience.

I’m really excited to talk through any part of the tour you’re interested in prior to your booking via phone or video call. This also gives you a good opportunity to meet Gordi and me!

Things I Did NOT Like About Traveling to Morocco by Campervan

In May 2018, my boyfriend and I were traveling to Morocco by campervan. We spent an awesome 4 weeks driving through all corners of Morocco with the van. We explored the coast, the desert and the different parts of the Atlas. I loved so many things about our campervan trip to Morocco , and it was the most adventurous part of the 2018 Vanlife trip we made up to that point. Even though Morocco is a great Vanlife destination and I highly recommend going there, there are also some things that I did not like. I think Morocco can be a complete disaster if you are not prepared and go in naïve. Therefore I want to share with you this list of experiences that I did not like. I hope that by sharing these experiences, I can help travelers and especially Vanlifers (solo or couples, male or female) in deciding whether they want to travel to Morocco or not.

Morocco by Campervan - Tizi n test road11

Amazing Morocco?

Did I have an awesome time? YES! Was it a beautiful country? YES! However! Everyone always goes round and round and round about how amazing Morocco is. And it drives me nuts. Because every time I hear someone telling how hospitable and friendly the Moroccan people were or how amazing the food is, I just want to burst out and tell them to stop drawing an unrealistic and overly pretty picture of this country. Just imagine how frustrated I get with all the Instagrammers only posting those sweet pictures of the pretty carpet and lamp stores and of sunsets in the desert without sharing their real experiences.

So, instead of keeping these negative emotions in, I decided to let them out through this blog 😉 I can believe that if you stay in fancy Riads and guesthouses or only have private transfers with large tour companies, your perception of the Moroccan hospitality will be amazing. Friendly, service-oriented people that help you make your way through the Medina, or that show you the best places and explanations while seating in an air-conditioned car. Having luxury desert camps and eat in the best restaurants. And that’s all great!

But if you are going to Morocco as a solo traveller or you will travel throughout Morocco by campervan or motorhome, please do your research. If you go in with realistic expectations you will have a much better time 🙂

Frustration 1: Getting ripped off all the time

Many people think of Morocco as a very cheap country to travel to. And yes, it is very affordable if you come with currency like the euro. But it’s not cheap like South-East Asia or other countries in Africa. Main reason? You WILL get ripped off ALL the time. Most of the time, you will pay at least 2-3 times the amount the locals pay, if not more. And this will start as soon as you get off the ferry from Spain to Morocco .

Simple groceries

Ugh, the frustration! For example, a small round bread is 1DH, or sometimes even 0,5DH. More often than not, we were asked to pay 2 or even 5DH! After we found out that the price was simply 1DH for a piece of bread, it became easier to tell the seller to shut up and just sell me the bread. It may seem like a little bit of money and of course, it is, but it simply adds up and you feel like a fool constantly. Fruits, veggies, orange juice, a snack – it’s not only haggling about souvenirs but about EVERYTHING. 2 or 3 times in our month in Morocco, we got to a big city with a decent supermarket. It was such a pleasure to shop in a supermarket with price tags (and aircon 😉 ) !!

Morocco by Campervan - Rabat

Taxi’s

And then the Taxis! The worst! It becomes top-sport to find a cab that uses their meter. In the cities, this is quite doable, but in the countryside, this is simply a disaster. Best is to have a local try to arrange a taxi and negotiate the price for you!

Asking for money

Next to being ripped off all the time, lots of people will simply come up to you and ask you for money. Because you’re from Europe, you must be rich right? It often felt like we were a walking ATM. Also when traveling to Morocco by campervan, you can definitely expect people to come up to your van and ask for food, clothes, and money. Or even your bikes!! (make sure they are locked!)

Haggling is part of the culture and I understand and even like it in most countries! I earn more money than many Moroccans and I understand it. And it’s not that I don’t want to support the economy or the local people. But the feeling of getting ripped off consistently is very exhausting.

So, to conclude this rant, it’s not the end of the world, but it’s good to prepare yourself for it 🙂

Frustration 2: The campsites

The campsites in Morocco – I could write a whole website just on the topic. If you are traveling by campervan to Morocco you will be able to wild-camp sometimes, but some areas are just not safe. Or you need to fill up on water or need electricity – sometimes you just need a campsite. Campsites in Morocco vary from luxury, European style campsites to, literally, shitholes. The average price for a campsite is about 70DH, for the good and for the bad ones.

Amazing campsites

The Relais de Marrakesh campsite  was the closest we got to a European style campsite. Although this was much more than we needed, it was a real haven to relax and unwind. They even have a pool! I probably could have spent the whole winter here! There were lots of animals roaming the grounds and I was super excited to pull out the hammock 🙂

And awful ones

The one campsite that actually brought me to tears was the campsite in walking distance to Essaouira. I really liked exploring Essaouira but this campsite really dampened the whole experience. The unfriendly welcome, the disgusting toilet building (no I didn’t go in, the flies and smell at the entrance were enough), and all the stray animals (see more below) actually made me want to leave. But it was already getting dark and we were forced to stay. If you are traveling by campervan, you sometimes don’t have a choice where to stay.

If you prepare for the worst, it will probably be a lot easier. Prepare for concrete slabs with a big high wall and sanitary facilities that makes you wish there was a bush nearby. It will make your life a lot easier 🙂 And it will make you appreciate the beautiful campsites a lot more! I am currently writing a post about wild camping with your campervan in Morocco, so stay tuned!

Frustration 3: Not feeling safe/free

I have traveled the world and I always try to respect the local culture. I dress accordingly, cover my hair when required, I learn some basic words and phrases and try to learn some local customs with regards to greeting people, handshakes etc. All this to blend in and be respectful and stay safe.

Feeling unsafe

Our trip to Morocco was without major incidents. Still, there were occasions in which I did not feel safe. One example where I felt unsafe was when we tried to get a taxi back from Marrakesh to the campsite. We had taken a “grand taxi” to get to the city from our campsite and this was easy enough. It cost us 5DH each. On the Moroccan market squares or along the bigger streets it’s not always clear where to catch a taxi or bus back. It took us over 30 minutes to finally find someone going our direction. All other cab drivers told us there were no more grand taxi’s and our only option was to take a taxi (300DH). They became increasingly aggressive and pushy and I was honestly close to tears. I was happy to be with a man, especially after dark! We were just about to let ourselves get ripped off once again when a friendly face showed up and took us to the right grand taxi.

Morocco by Campervan - Volubilis3

Not feeling free

But unfortunately, the experience I had in Morocco, was similar to how I felt when I was staying in India. I did not feel I was able to walk anywhere by myself without getting harassed. Especially as a woman, I felt constrained in the movements I could make. Luckily, I was traveling with my boyfriend, but I often felt uncomfortable going somewhere by myself, or even staying alone by the car or at the campsite while he went to go run an errand. Please think twice about traveling to Morocco as a solo female traveler – especially if you are traveling by campervan. Read about fellow vanlifer Susie Cruz her terrible experience here.

On top of that, you cannot understand a thing about the language. Even though French is an official language, in the countryside, the mountains or even in big cities many people do not speak French. Luckily the internet in Morocco is cheap these days so you can simply use google to show where you need to go, but it’s not comfortable if you feel people are talking about you and you cannot understand what they are saying.

Both me and my boyfriend felt very constrained in the type of clothes we could wear. We do find it natural to adapt our clothing to the places you visit and we were prepared as to what to wear when visiting Morocco . However, after a few weeks we were looking forward to going to Europe again where no-one would stare at us wearing shorts 🙂 Our luck was that we were traveling by campervan to Morocco. Often we were just wearing shorts in the car and then would change before going outside. Again, not a dealbreaker! But after 4 weeks in Morocco, I was so happy to put my dresses and shorts on again!

Frustration 4: Stray dogs and cats and other animals

One of the things that bothered me the most about our Vanlife trip to Morocco was the stray animals. There are so many dogs and cats roaming the streets, it’s often painful to watch. They often look really bad, have infected eyes or open wounds. It’s simply heartbreaking.

To help out an animal here and there, we carried a bag of dog and cat food to feed them. It’s not much, but we couldn’t stand the sight of these poor, starving animals.

Traveling to Morocco by Campervan - Feeding stray dogs

If you have a dog with you on your Vanlife adventure, be sure to keep him on a leash! And be careful about where you park. Some areas are full of troops of stray dogs. Even though we have only encountered friendly dogs, the troops can be intimidating especially when food is around.

Also, we saw many tourists having fun with the troops of monkeys in the Atlas near Azrou. These were once wild animals but the area has turned into a circus!

Frustration 5: Fake Hospitality

Maybe it was because we were traveling on a budget. Maybe we just met the wrong people. And yeah, maybe we just didn’t get it right. But during my 4-week campervan trip through Morocco, we rarely met any people that were hospitable without wanting anything in return. It left us quite exhausted and with bittersweet memories of the people and the country.

And maybe “fake” is not the right word to use. Because I do feel that people honestly want to share stuff about their country and make people feel welcome. But the perception of what tourists want, how to make them feel welcome and how to treat them is completely off. Maybe it’s not as much a matter of “fake”, but of truly misunderstanding each other.

Tour guides

The experience that stayed with me the most, was of the tour guide in a small town near a Kasbah. In the middle of our trip, we visited the town of this Kasbah and we met (yet another) unwanted tour guide. We said we didn’t want a tour guide but he insisted. We gave in again and tried to negotiate a price. All we heard was, “I want to welcome you to my country”, “Ah you pay what you want, I do it from the heart”! After the Oasis tour, the guy asked us to come in for a tea. Then he asked us if we’d like his wife to cook a Tajine for us. Home-cooked Tajines are the best and we asked him how much he wanted us to pay. Again “Ah you pay what you want, I do it from the heart”!

After we visited the Kasbah, the guy brought a lovely home-cooked Tajine to our van and we had a great talk. We promised to leave a good review for him on TripAdvisor and to refer our friends to him. And when it was time to say goodbye, we got together some money. We had decided amongst ourselves to pay 150DH for the tour and the Tajine. Some 80DH for the tour and 25-30DH is a normal price in a simple Moroccan restaurant for a Tajine. So for two people that would be 70 for the Tajine we thought. We gave the guy our money and thanked him a lot!

It’s never OK

But his face changed when he saw the money. No that’s not enough. Give me 300DH. We were like, WHAT? That is the price for a dinner for 2 in a fancy restaurant in Marrakesh. Not for a Tajine on the Moroccan countryside. After some discussion, we ended up giving him 250DH. He even dared to say: if you are not happy with it you don’t have to give it to me. But by then had made us feel so bad about it that we just wanted him to leave.

We ended up with a bittersweet after-taste. It’s not necessarily about the amount, but about the pressure, the fake disappointment and the feeling of getting ripped off.

That said, we also had some great tour guides in Imlil, a beautiful hiking town not too far from Marrakesh. After reading recent news on the terrible events that happened in Imlil , we were even happier that we had chosen to go with a reputable tour guide.

Also mind: on any given tour, there will be an added, unwanted, part to the itinerary: the carpet shop (or the argan oil shop, or the ….) or any shop that is. Your tour guide and the shop owner are 99% of the time related (cousins, brothers etc) 🙂 and you will probably feel some pressure to buy things.

Traveling to Morocco by Campervan – GO or NO-GO?

After reading this blog, you may think I had the worst time in Morocco 😉 But that’s definitely not the case! I just wish I had been better prepared for the mental exhaustion. I think if you realize that your time in Morocco will be a bit like this, that you may enjoy it even more!

Don’t forget to read the stories about the parts that I did like! 🙂

Hi Sabrina, Great article, I agree that the rose tinted glasses are often worn when describing Morocco experiences. having been myself there in a hotel and experience mutch of what you did I’ve consider going in my campervan but I’m not sure. you did actually reminds me of all the frustrating Brown things that occur there however the weather is quite nice isn’t it for winter.

Thanks for your comment Julian! The weather is lovely indeed and I loved the adventure 🙂

I think you have to remember that most of the world is still very poor and underdeveloped. It’s easy to look at photos on instagram of luxury riads in Marrakesh and think that’s what Morocco is. You have to be ready to do some real travelling, yes, but I think when looking out for things like ‘European style’ accommodation you have may have a skewed view of what places like Morocco have to offer (and by that – all they can offer.) Locals pay less because they don’t have much to give. Its not a secret, they are very open about the reasons.. Although it doesn’t seem like you paid much from what you explain? Maybe if you spoke to people next time? I’m pretty sure they will be happy to talk (they have a lot of time for people – you may be stuck there all day lol). I agree, haggling is definitely part of the experience so if you are not up for that maybe its the wrong place for you. You have the luxury to see the world so you must understand that you have more to give than most do. It seems like you have seen places for what they really are, not the social media version, so I’m confused as to what you expected? Maybe you had some bad experiences, it can happen anywhere I guess. You should be prepared when you go to places like Morocco that you will not be as comfortable as you might be at home but they country is beautiful and so are the people (I mean, most, there are people that aren’t nice everywhere). Like any country Morocco has its issues and it has a lot of pain ingrained in the lives of the people and in the policies of the country. Do your reading before you visit a country, hold judgement and try to stay humble.

That’s why I wrote this blog, so other people can do their reading before they go. I would have enjoyed Morocco more if I was more prepared.

Get off your high horse mate. As a campervanner wondering whether to travel across Morroco, Sabrina’s article was hugely helpful in giving me an idea of what to expect. “I think you have to remember….” Maybe you..” should try to be less pompous ?

We were going to winter in Morocco 2022/23, however, we have our beautiful little 16kg dog, and the though of constantly see emaciated dogs would be heart breaking. It’s bad enough in Turkiye, where they do take care of them to a degree, with vaccination and neutering. To get ripped off and haggle for every single thing would make me very angry, and I would not want to show that side of me. Our vanlife is very relaxing, and we love it so very much. Canaries for winter methinks…Thank you for your honest review…Much appreciated x

You exaggerate a lot, you are giving people a negative outlook about morocco. Don’t use the “Fake” word especially with the hospitality of Moroccans because they are not fake, if someone in Morocco didn’t like something you did he will come to your face and tell you that you are wrong and they can welcome you and your family to share them their houses and food with no problem especially if you have a problem. So, please don’t use it with Moroccans.

And about those who tried to sell you overpriced things. Don’t forget that they have a short period of the year to make their living, so they try to take advantage of everyone (law of survival) and if you don’t want to buy no one gonna force you.

If you have a problem with what others are saying learn their language or just go to another country that you can understand their language.

And you said that you can’t be able to feel free and wear shorts. I want to say that one of the values of travellers is to respect the customs and traditions of others, if they don’t wear shorts you should and must respect that because you are the one who went to them, and not vice versa. Be respectful.

You tried to give a bad outlook about Morocco and Moroccans, but all that you said seems FAKE.

Hello Ayoub, thank you for your comment. If you have read my other blogs you would see that we had an amazing time in Morocco (like this one: https://www.backpackinglikeaboss.com/vanlife-morocco-itinerary-4-week-campervan/ )

This is a post that reflected on the things that I found difficult when visiting all parts of Morocco for almost a month, and speaking and interacting with people from all different parts of the country.

I think that international visitors that will read this blog will be better prepared for the challenges they will face when visiting Morocco. By being better prepared, people will enjoy this fascinating country even more.

So nothing about this post is fake, I don’t have anything to win by portraying a negative image, it’s just how I experienced it 🙂

Safe travels!

Hi Sabrina, my boyfriend and I are considering a campervan trip through Morocco and your post couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable experience so honestly!!

Happy I could help! Enjoy your travels :-)!

Hi After reading your blog it all seems so obvious to the traveller such as myself but I know people that expect the uk standards to extend around the world so this should be a wake up call for them.I motorbiked north to south through Maroc crossing the Atlas and through bustling towns without a hitch(in various hotels) but we were 2 males so perhaps a bit easier.I am planning a winter trip in a motorhome next year with wife probably along the coast and take on board what you say which we may experience outside of a hotel.

Have a great trip Graham and thanks for your comment!

We were going to extend our winter trip, because of the restricted 90 days. We thought we might go to Morocco for a month. However, we travel with our 2 cats and after reading a bout troupes of stray dogs and cats we realise that it wouldn’t be safe for them . Thanx for your helpful report

Hi Sabrina, I read the whole article, and I have feeling that the image you painted about Morocco in this article is a little bit negative, even thought you tried to threw some compliment here and there..anyway I respect your honest thoughts about our country. What I did not understand is when you talked about feeling free and because you didn’t wanted to respect local culture? also : there’s no bread priced at 0.5 DH, and in some places I buy bread with 5 DH, it’s not fair but it is what it is and those local people try to maximize there profit.. buying at local vegs and fruits at local Souks is way better (and cheaper) than super Market with price tag, if we you’re concerned about the quality (bio) of the products which I assume you are. Anyway, your article remembered me of myself when i went to Germany 15 years ago, and I spent 2 years complaining about little things that are different than what I use to in my country, like how hard to rent house as non European, food, weather, racism ( or what I think back then it was racism 🙂 etc.. it took me 2 years to understand the German way of living and their logic and way of thinking and the culture behind .. I hope that your next visit to Morocco will be better than the previous one, especially since you are now armed with respectable knowledge and experience, until then stay safe.

Hi Ismael, thanks for your thoughtful comment. If you read my blog further, I also have a very positive experiences in Morocco. This is just one about the things I didn’t like 😉 I general we had a great time during our month there, I just found it quite exhausting due to the factors mentioned in this blog.

Classic Morocco

8 days | take an adventure through the bustling medinas, city squares and mountain ranges of morocco.

Group of travellers enjoying the sunset with their leader, Ait Benhaddou, Morocco

You don’t have to sacrifice your comfort for a great adventure! On this eight-day discovery of Morocco, you’ll explore sacred sites like the Hassan II Mosque, Moulay Idriss and the Roman ruins of Volubilis. Explore the cultural heart of Morocco in Fes, then head into the Sahara for a camel ride through the sand dunes during sunset, before spending the night camping under the stars. Hike through the Todra Valley and see how the locals farm their produce, stopping for some epic views in the Atlas Mountains. Explore the silver-screen favourite of Ait Benhaddou and try the most delicious mint tea in the world at Tawesna teahouse. Top it all off with a vibrant day in Marrakech, where you’ll see the famed Djemaa el-Fna square and feast on Moroccan favourites like seared meats, fresh salads and chickpea soup.

Trip overview

  • Travel by camel across the dramatic red dunes of the Sahara and spend the night camping under North African stars.
  • Spend some time in one of Morocco’s most picturesque towns, like the 11th-century kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, and participate in a painting class with a local artist.
  • Rub shoulders with the locals in Todra Valley, Volubilis and Fes and gain a deeper understanding of sacred sites and the history and culture of Morocco with local and passionate guides.
  • Have lunch at the Amal Association in Marrakech – a non-profit organisation empowering local women through employment on their journey towards financial independence.
  • Prepare for the best mint tea of your life on a visit to the Tawesna teahouse. This experience is more than just a cuppa – it’s about discovering a culture, sharing a true moment and contributing to the economic inclusion of women.
  • This trip includes time spent travelling in a private vehicle with your group. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. It's all part of the adventure and a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. There are a few long days of travel, as you'll be covering a lot of ground. You will, however, make stops at interesting locations to break up the longer drives. Please read the itinerary carefully for travel time estimates.
  • As a desert country, Morocco can have extreme weather. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season. Refer to the Climate and Seasonal Information section of the Essential Trip Information for more details.
  • Morocco has a tipping culture and travellers are expected to tip small amounts for most services. Your trip leader and the Money Matters section of the Essential Trip Information can assist you with this.
  • Although you shouldn’t expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, it’s common to be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods.
  • We've sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Intrepid style of travel, but please note that service and accommodation in Morocco may differ from standards at home.
  • Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

View the itinerary for departures between 01 January 2024 - 31 December 2024

Salaam Alaikum! Welcome to Morocco and the great city of Casablanca. If you’re arriving today, you’ll take a private transfer from the airport to your hotel. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm. If you arrive early, maybe you’d like to visit the art deco Villa des Arts – this gorgeous gallery dates back to the 1930s and holds numerous exhibitions of contemporary Moroccan and international art. If you're looking for a different cultural experience, you can discover a unique part of Moroccan history at the Museum of Judaism.

There are no meals included on this day.

  • Complimentary Arrival Transfer
  • Casablanca - The Medina and Beyond Urban Adventure - MAD700
  • Casablanca - Villa des Arts Gallery & Museum (entrance fee) - Free
  • Casablanca - Jewish Museum (entrance fee) - MAD50

It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you are going to be late, please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.

Some travellers have reported being approached by locals offering excursions before their Intrepid trip commences. This has been particularly prevalent in and around the hotels used by Intrepid. These guides are in no way connected to Intrepid and we cannot guarantee the safety or quality standards of their tours. We advise customers against joining any tour offered by the unauthorised guides.

After breakfast this morning, visit the Hassan II Mosque – one of Casablanca's most impressive sites and the Islamic world's third-largest mosque. This colossal building sits partly on land and partly on the sea, allowing visitors to look through a glass floor in one area, straight down to the water. This is one of the only religious sites open to non-Muslims. Travel by private vehicle to the village of Moulay Idriss, the holiest Islamic town. Head out on a leader-led walking tour, stopping for an optional home-cooked lunch before setting off again. Your next stop is Volubilis – a partly-excavated Amazigh-Roman city outside of Meknes. Explore the ruins and abandoned stones with a local guide, which are covered in wildflowers in the spring. Arrive in Fes, your final destination, and sit down for an included pastilla dinner. This Moroccan specialty is a delicious sweet and savoury pastry parcel of shredded chicken and almonds.

  • Casablanca - Hassan II Mosque
  • Moulay Idriss - Leader-led village walk
  • Volubilis - Entrance and guided tour
  • Fes - Pastilla dinner

Your travel time today is approximately 5 hours.

The sun can be incredibly fierce in summer at Volubilis, so bring a hat and plenty of water.

Today, you’ll discover the city of Fes. The spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco – Fes is a feast for the senses. Join an expert local guide and head into Fes el Bali – arguably the world's most fascinating Old City. Walk along the twisting streets and alleyways, passing donkeys piled high with goods. Filled with dye pits and traditional stalls loaded with fruits, herbs and soups, it’s not hard to imagine yourself back in the Middle Ages. Visit the Al-Attarine Madrasa, built by the Marinid sultan Uthman II Abu Said in 1323-5. Functioning as a religious school, this is one of several such schools located within the medina. You’ll then explore the tanneries and the Fondouk Nejjarine – a beautifully restored 18th-century inn with a courtyard. Stop for a refreshing mint tea at a local café and take in the views of the bustling medina. Return to your hotel in the late afternoon for a free evening.

  • Fes - Medersa El Attarine
  • Fes - Tannery visit
  • Fes - Medina walking tour
  • Fes - Funduq al-Najjarin

Today’s experience will include shopping in carefully selected places. As the receipt of commissions or kickbacks in exchange for recommending particular shops, services or activities is ingrained in the culture of the Moroccan tourism industry, Intrepid has established a centralised system of receiving and distributing payments from these recommended suppliers. For more information, please refer to the Money Matters section of the Essential Trip Information or speak to your leader. If you are not interested in shopping, please speak to your leader about your options. The medina is complicated to navigate, so leaving and re-joining the group can be difficult.

After breakfast, hit the road again and drive through ever-changing scenery, from barren mountainsides to fertile valleys, on the journey to Merzouga. Stop for coffee in Ifrane in the Atlas Mountains and spot some macaque monkeys in the Cedar Forest along the way. Take in the views over Ziz Valley and stop for lunch in Midelt – a town in the high plains between the Middle Atlas and High Atlas Mountain ranges. When you arrive, leave your gear at your overnight camp, then climb aboard your designated camel for a ride into the edge of the Sahara – what better way to enjoy the sunset? Tonight, sit under the expansive night sky and try some fantastic local cuisine around an open fire, enjoying live music and dancing.

  • Sahara Desert - Camel ride

Your travel time today will be approximately 9 hours.

Today’s camel trek is a loop from your camp on the edge of the desert and back. If you don’t wish to ride a camel, you can walk alongside the camels or relax at the camp.

Tonight’s accommodation will be in nomadic-style tents with a dining and bathroom tent. Blankets and mattresses are provided, but during the winter months, from November to March, you may consider bringing your own sleeping bag for extra warmth and comfort. Electricity is very temperamental and relies on batteries. Therefore, it’s better to come prepared with devices fully charged.

Rise and shine nice and early this morning and climb one of the sand dunes to watch the sunrise over the Sahara. Then drive to Todra Gorge – a massive trench that rises over 250 m to form one of the most dramatic and spectacular natural sights in Morocco. When you arrive, head out on a leisurely walk through the Todra Valley with your leader. You’ll walk through shaded palm groves and local farms – thanks to the abundance of water here, there are orchards of almost every variety! Think apples, pears, plums, apricots, quinces, pomegranates, figs, almonds and peaches as well as tomatoes, mint, squash, carrots, turnips, beans and grapes. All these plantations belong to locals who you’ll meet along the way, learning how they take care of the land using traditional irrigation techniques. Tonight, you might like to enjoy an optional dinner of all the local produce you’ve seen growing around you.

  • Todra Gorge - Palmeraie and farm walk
  • Todra Gorge - Hike - MAD350

Your travel time today will be approximately 3.5 hours.

This morning after breakfast, you’ll drive to Ait Benhaddou. Sitting on a hilltop and almost unchanged since the 11th century, this is one of Morocco's most iconic sites. If you think you recognise the place, you probably do, as the town has a long list of film and TV credits, including Lawrence of Arabia, Game of Thrones and Gladiator. Enjoy a walk through the winding streets of the Old Town and ksar, making your way to the top of the hill, from where you can enjoy views of the surrounding plains. Then, join a local artist for a painting workshop. You’ll create your own image of the iconic view of the ksar. Visit the Tawesna teahouse – a community-run establishment that provides local women an income to support themselves and their children. Using ingredients sourced from local cooperatives, the women prepare mint tea and pastries while sharing their stories with those who pop in. After heading to your hotel for the night, maybe sit back on the rooftop terrace and watch the sun setting over the kasbah before a group dinner.

  • Ait Benhaddou - Leader-led ksar walk
  • Ait Benhaddou - Tawesna Tea Break
  • Ait Benhaddou - Panoramic painting lesson

Today, you’ll head to Marrakech. When you arrive, meet your local guide who will lead you through the medina, sharing the city's history and hidden tales during the walk. Visit Le Jardin Secret – a 19th palace complex with traditional gardens, a shop and a cafe. Then, head to the great square of Djemaa el-Fna – one of the largest public spaces in the world. After your tour, have lunch at the Amal Association – a restaurant and non-profit organisation that supports local women through employment and training on their path to financial independence. Tonight, you might like to head back to Djemaa el-Fna – when night falls, it transforms into a hive of henna painters, performers and storytellers share the square with a street food bazaar of stalls loaded with Moroccan delicacies. You might also like to head out to an optional final dinner at a local restaurant.

  • Marrakech - Medina walking tour
  • Secret Garden in Marrakech Medina
  • Marrakech: Lunch with purpose

Your travel time today will be approximately 4 hours.

There are no activities planned after breakfast today, so you’re free to leave your accommodation at any time. It’s worth adding a night or two in Marrakech, so you can do some extra activities like cooking classes and cycling tours, exploring nearby towns or visiting a hammam. If you wish to spend more time here, just speak to your booking agent.

  • Marrakech - Tajine Cookery Class Urban Adventure. - MAD640

Imagine having your favorite RV navigation apps that offer suggested routes and help you find state and national parks and public campgrounds along the way. That’s precisely what RV trip-planning apps do. With campground reviews from fellow travelers at hand, every decision becomes more manageable as it is based on real experiences.

A road trip doesn’t need to burn a hole in your pocket. The beauty of these awesome apps lies in their ability to guide users towards free camping sites or cheaper alternatives like public campgrounds compared to private RV parks for RV Camping only. Plus, they keep tabs on gas stations en route, ensuring fuel stops don’t become financial nightmares.

No more worrying about unexpected detours or sudden weather changes affecting your journey. With live updates via GPS-based directions right within these simple yet practical applications, a smooth ride throughout is almost guaranteed, irrespective of where you’re headed next – an overnight parking spot or a new city exploration.  RV-specific GPS is a plus for travelers who must avoid low clearances on overpasses or tight turns.

Last but certainly not least are those mundane maintenance tasks that come part and parcel with the fun-filled RV life pro experience. RV Trip Wizard , among other great apps, provides checklists for routine RV maintenance checks so nothing gets missed while living this exciting lifestyle on wheels.

The best RV travel app for your needs can differ based on what you’re looking for in an application. However, a few applications have become popular for their broad selection of features and user-friendly interfaces.  I’ve checked out three of them and studied reviews for you, so you don’t have to!

We’ll compare three widely-used options that make traveling by RV or car a breeze: RV Life Pro , Togo RV , and RV Trip Wizard .

RV Life Trip Wizard – RV GPS and Campgrounds

A favorite among full-time RVers, RV Life , provides an all-in-one solution for planning your RV trip. It offers RV Safe GPS, which means the best route suggestions tailored to the size and weight of your vehicle, ensuring safe travels no matter where you go.  With this app, you won’t have to worry about your route or the time to arrive at your destination.

This handy app covers everything from finding RV parks and gas stations to locating nearby RV dump sites.  No more worrying about whether you fit under that highway overpass!  RV Life handles that!

RV Trip Wizard isn’t just an RV navigation map, either.  One of the reasons it is much loved among full-time RVers is that it has so many features beyond just the map.  One of the most popular features is the Points of Interest Map which includes over 57,000 points of interest for you to scope out before adding them to your route.

One of my favorite features of this app is that it even helps you keep track of maintenance schedules for your vehicle.  We can all use a little help with that fun chore!

And finally, you can find ideal RV parks and campgrounds as you travel.  With over 20,000 campgrounds in the app and the ability to rank your memberships in travel clubs, you’ll know which park will give you the best value after a quick look into the app.  In addition, it conveniently locates dump sites, gas stations, and prices en route.

RVLife comes with a 7-day trial to give you ample opportunity to decide if it’s the right fit for you.  After seven days, the cost is approximately $60 per year.  A few nights at a lower-cost camping sight will quickly take care of that $60, making this a great value if you travel often enough.

A demo version comes with more limited capabilities for those who need more than seven days to decide if this is the right app.

Next up?   Togo RV !  This handy app receives high praise from fellow RVers.  It not only aids with trip planning but also includes maintenance reminders and checklists, ensuring that you are road ready at all times!

Togo also has an Overnight RV Parking app, so if you love the RV app, you may just love the Overnight Parking app as well.  Take note that Togo RV is not a free app, but it does offer a free 7-day trial, so if you don’t love it, it won’t cost you a penny!

I love that this app provides access to reviews from fellow travelers on various campgrounds, making it easier to choose the right campground for you when you’re busy living out the dream of being a full-time traveler or an “RV life pro.”

Some of the free features included with Togo are  Movile RV Repair Directory, which will help you find someone to repair your RV or car while you travel.  The Tire Finder lets you enter your tire specs and find the best replacements for your budget.  Pre-made RV checklists are available to get you safely on the road without forgetting any vital details!

You can also enter your vehicle specs and receive recall alerts, and maybe my favorite feature and the best part of this app is the Roadpass University, which is excellent for a new RV owner!

Togo RV is an excellent tool with high ratings among travelers.  Of course, besides the above options, it offers a campground search feature, which includes information about state parks and free camping sites throughout North America.

AllStays Camp & RV App

Last but certainly not least is AllStays Camp & RV , known for its comprehensive database covering everything from public campgrounds with RV sites to overnight parking lots for smaller vehicles.  This robust tool becomes indispensable whether one plans to stay at a state park or search out free camping sites and parking lots (Hello Cracker Barrel!) during road trips across the Midwest.

I feel safe in saying that AllStays is worth your time.  This app has been the #1 Selling, #1 Ranked, and #1 Reviewed Camping App for over 144 Months, with 4.5k reviews in the iOS app store and an overall ranking of 4.6 out of 5.

AllStays Camp & RV App is one of my favorite apps because, although it is simple, it is effective.  I love that it allows searches based on specific requirements like pet-friendly sites or overnight parking facilities.

Midwest State Park Adventures makes a great travel companion or gift. Some of the best travel writers in the Midwest collaborated to put this book together, which covers 12 Midwest States and hundreds of state parks.

And I, the Hip Grandma, wrote contributed by writing the Michigan chapter!

You can click on the photo to order on Amazon or click HERE to learn more and order a signed copy directly from me.

After 13 years of use and development, AllStays has the most campgrounds listed (37,000 in the United States and Canada) and includes FREE overnight parking options.  The filters on this app are excellent.  You can filter sites fairly easily by features such as pet-friendly sites, laundry availability, boat launch, toilet styles, swimming pool, and so on!

But my favorite feature of this app is that some of the data is stored on your phone, making it useable even when driving in and out of wifi or service areas.  Nothing is more frustrating than driving out of signal, losing your internet connection, and the ability to search as you travel.

Notice to Android users:  Allstays Camp and RV does not have an app for you.  However, you can open your browser and log in to use the same features, which is a bit of a drawback if you have your heart set on an app. However, it makes this app useable on any device, including your tablet, computer, or laptop!

Consider Your Cost

When considering cost, RV Life Trip Wizard offers a limited-feature free version and a premium subscription. Togo RV comes with an annual fee. Allstays Pro is the least expensive of the three we’ve discussed here at 34.99 per year or 4.99 per month.

Any way you look at it, the ease these apps bring into your car or RV traveling experience often justifies their price tag.

Remember, no single application will meet every need perfectly. So, please look at each app’s features and consider the most important features before purchasing your perfect companion app.

  The Gist: 

Awesome RV travel apps like RV Life Trip Wizard, Togo RV, and Allstays Camp & RV Road Maps offer unique features tailored to your road trip needs. From campground searches to maintenance reminders and route planning, these tools simplify the journey. Consider cost and personal preferences when choosing your perfect digital companion.

Add-on Popular RV Travel Apps

Now that we’ve talked about adding a GPS and Trip planning app, let’s talk about a few apps that don’t do it “all” but do their own thing really well! Here are my favorite stand-alone apps that I wouldn’t travel without!

The user-friendly RV Parky app assists in locating RV dump stations and potential roadside attractions.  It’s FREE, making it a great starter app!

Before I travel, and sometimes even after, you’ll find me cruising through TripAdvisor .  You’ll find places to go, things to do, and places to eat and stay in this handy free app.

TripAdvisor is location-specific, so enter your destination and see lists of all of the great things a destination has to offer and honest, up-to-date user reviews from people who have been there!   TripAdvisor is a great way to get genuine reviews from real people before wasting your time and efforts.

When I need a place to stay, and the car or the RV just isn’t going to cut it, I use Hotels.com .  You can search along your route and see prices at a glance, discounted from the walk-in rate.  This app has come in incredibly handy when I need a room at the last minute.

Be aware, though, if you make a reservation through this app and, for some reason, change your mind on arrival, refunds are not easy.  The hotel will immediately tell you to take it up with Hotels.com, and you may wait more than a week for your refund.

This handy little app called Roadside Attractions is my personal favorite app for finding quirky roadside stops!  I have used it for everything from finding a spooky shoe tree on a back country road to finding the EPIC Headquarters, the most fantastic work campus that seems more like a theme park than a business.

I truly love this great app!  It can turn your RV road trip from meh to magnificent! There is a small one-time cost to use the app, but it has been more than worth it for me!

iExit is a nifty little app and just the thing to help you find a bite to eat, a gallon of gas, or a restroom as you travel.  Simply open the iExit app, which will use GPS to locate you on the Interstate, then give you a list of the upcoming exits and what you’ll find there, including fuel prices, truck stops, rest areas, and fast food restaurants!  I love this little app!

If you like to hear the story behind a story, this app is for you. Download the Talking Trail App , and when you are within a specified distance of a Talking Point, the app will notify you. A quick click on the map will give you a narrated story of the landmark you’re visiting. If you are a leisure traveler with time to learn and hear stories, you’ll LOVE Talking Trail.

Tips for Choosing an RV Travel App

Embarking on your next RV trip with the right app can transform your travel experience. Consider what you want when choosing the perfect app to accompany your RV journey.

The first step is recognizing what you need from an RV travel app. Are you seeking a straightforward navigation tool like Google Maps , or do you require more specific features such as finding RV parks, planning safe routes, locating gas stations, and even providing handy checklists? Knowing what’s essential will help streamline your choices.

User reviews and ratings provide invaluable insights into how well each option performs.  I certainly don’t know it all, and although I have used all of these apps, many others have also and may be able to answer your specific questions in a review.  Quickly browsing feedback on platforms like Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store will give you a balanced perspective.

RV apps come in different pricing models: free versions with optional paid upgrades (like Togo RV), full-featured premium ones (such as RV Trip Wizard), and freemiums that offer limited functionalities unless upgraded – select one that fits your budget constraints and ensures value for what you spend.

Of course, I recommend you try different options and compare their features whenever possible. Many of these apps offer free trial periods that will let you get a hands-on feel for their offerings firsthand and commitment-free. This practical exposure helps determine if a particular software ticks all of your boxes effectively, saving you time and effort.

 When choosing the best RV travel app, identify your needs first. Consider user reviews and ratings for insight into performance. Analyze features and usability to ensure it caters to all aspects of RV life within your budget. Don’t forget a test drive before committing.

FAQs in Relation to Best Rv Travel App

Absolutely! Apps like Roadtrippers and RV Trip Wizard are explicitly designed to help plan your RV route, including stops at campgrounds and attractions.

Yes, the comprehensive features of RV Trip Wizard, such as custom routing, campground information, and cost estimation, make it a valuable tool for any RVer.

Surely. Hipcamp is similar to Airbnb but focuses on unique camping experiences. It lists thousands of campsites across the US.

You can use travel planning apps like The Dyrt or AllStays that provide details about campgrounds, gas stations, and rest stops, along with user reviews to help you plan your journey efficiently.

Exploring the Midwest in an RV just got easier.  As a matter of fact, it just got easier if you travel in a car, too!  Whichever way you travel, the best RV travel app can transform your travels from stressful to effortless.

Comparing different apps helps you find the perfect match for your needs. And once you choose, mastering its use ensures smooth sailing (or driving).
