The best camping sites in Spain for motorhomes

From its vibrant cities to its stunning scenery, Spain is the perfect destination for a motorhome adventure. Here, we take a look at some of the best camping sites in Spain for motorhomes to inspire your trip. 

Can you park a motorhome anywhere in Spain? 

Although you’re guaranteed to find many picturesque spots while driving through Spain, you’re not allowed to park your motorhome wherever you choose. Wild camping in Spain is typically prohibited, so you should always find a space in an official campsite. 

Thankfully, there are lots of amazing motorhome campsites to choose from in Spain. From options close to the country’s main cities to hidden gems that give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, there’s a camping site in Spain to suit every motorhome holiday.
