Free site, paid site or campsite? The differences you need to know

When planning a motorhome route, not all overnight options offer the same facilities or meet the same needs. Understanding the differences allows you to choose the most suitable option depending on the type of trip.

Free rest areas

These are a good option for a quick stop or a simple overnight stay. They usually offer parking and, in some cases, points for filling up with drinking water and emptying grey and black water tanks. Their facilities are generally more limited and they do not always provide electricity, showers or security.

Paid sites

These strike a balance between price and services. They generally include water top-ups, waste disposal, electricity hook-ups and marked pitches, as well as other facilities such as showers, Wi-Fi or CCTV. The usual price ranges from 10 to 15 euros per night, although this may vary depending on the location and the facilities included.

Campsites

These are the most comprehensive option for those seeking a longer stay or a higher level of comfort. As well as accommodating motorhomes, they offer additional facilities such as swimming pools, supermarkets, restaurants, launderettes, children’s play areas and leisure activities, although at a higher cost than those at dedicated motorhome sites.

With an ever-expanding range of motorhome sites in Spain, planning your stops in advance and choosing sites that suit the needs of each trip is key to enjoying a more comfortable and safe experience. Whether for a weekend break or a tour along the Spanish coast, having well-equipped sites allows you to make the most of a way of travelling that continues to gain popularity summer after summer.
