A holiday in Spain is very exciting and could be very romantic. Things get even more interesting when you decide to do something different and stay on a campsite. There are many fee-charging campsites in Spain, which offer good conditions and are not expensive. If you want to go on a free campsite in Spain however then the situation would be a little bit more difficult to arrange. There are simply not many free camp sites in Spain. Still, if you are persistent enough you can find some good free camp sites and enjoy your stay as long as you want and weather permitting. Or you can rent a Barcelona apartment and stay as long as you want.
Free camp sites in Spain are few and far between but the main problem is that you do not know what you are allowed to do on the site and there is nobody who can inform you of the rules and regulations. It may depend on whether you arrive with a small car, a van or with a motorhome. The camp sites, though free, are equipped with a water tap and with a sewerage disposal. These camp sites are often used by tourists for so called wild camping where you cook on a gas stove outdoors and have a folding table and a few chairs outside the van.
A good piece of advice is to search for a nice camp site in the daylight hours, just as you approach a certain town or a city but if you are going to Madrid you will have to stay in apartments in Madrid. Once you spot the camp site, just remember where it is and go sightseeing in the nearest city. Then, at dusk go back to the camp site you have chosen and enjoy the rest of the evening there. A good option would be to look for a place among trees and greenery, in the outskirts of the city and far from the sight of the main road and the houses. When you are far from the city and when you are not disturbing anyone, then you most probably will not be noticed at all and will have no problems enjoying your free camp site.
camping site in Morella Spain
Several nice places for a free camp site in Spain, which have been checked and which actually are open for visitors, are the campsites at Morella and Ebro Delta, just outside on the outskirts of these towns. Another good spot is the Cullera area, south of Valencia, which is right next to the river; a very quiet place and ideal for camping and fishing. Among the other sites that need to be mentioned is Javea and a place on Playa de Daimus in Gandia, where one could find many vans parked very close to the beach zone. A recommended place used to be Caircaixent, but it is closed and no longer in use. A good idea would be to check this website http://www.furgovw.org/mapa_furgoperfecto.php.
