Use campsites and authorised areas for overnight stays, outdoor setup, water refill and waste disposal.
Camper Rules Assistant
Build a country route and get compact allowed/do-not-assume/check cards for overnight rules, LEZ, tolls, documents and winter requirements.
Spain
Spain is one of the clearest countries on the parking-versus-camping split: legal parking is allowed where signs permit it, while camping is limited to authorised places.
A motorhome is considered parked when it stays within the marked bay and does not place awnings, tables, stabilizers or similar elements outside the vehicle.
Spain has a mix of free motorways and tolled roads, bridges, tunnels and private facilities; payment rules vary by route. Large cities can operate ZBE low-emission zones. Foreign vehicles may need local registration or authorisation before entry.
Morocco
Morocco is strong for winter and spring motorhome touring, but it needs planning around motorway toll classes, legal campsites or aires, temporary vehicle admission, desert heat, Atlas weather and medina access.
Morocco has official tourism accommodation categories that include campings and bivouacs, but motorhome facilities vary widely by region.
Use campsites, aires, guarded parking, bivouacs or private permission; avoid assuming beaches, desert edges or protected natural sites are free overnight zones.
Motorway tolls are route- and class-based, and motorhome class can depend on height, axles and vehicle length. There is no broad low-emission sticker for touring motorhomes, but city geometry and local access rules are decisive.
Documents and insurance
Spain
For vehicles under 3.5 tonnes, a B licence is generally enough; trailer combinations and heavier motorhomes need a separate category check.
- Carry licence, registration, insurance proof and rental authorisation.
- Pay attention to height and width signs when parking or entering old towns and underground lots.
Morocco
Carry passport, licence, registration, insurance proof and rental permission; treat temporary admission of the vehicle as a key border requirement.
- If the vehicle is foreign-registered, respect the temporary admission deadline and keep customs paperwork available until exit.
- Confirm Moroccan insurance or green-card coverage before ferry boarding and keep rental cross-border permission with the vehicle documents.
