Zona de acampada is the Canary Islands term for a marked camping area in protected natural zones. These areas offer basic services and charge a free or low nightly fee once you obtain the required permit.
Wild camping (acampada libre) in a motorhome is generally not permitted in Spain, and camping rules are set by the autonomous communities and municipalities (not traffic law).
Overnight parking is usually allowed where parking is permitted, as long as the vehicle is correctly parked and you don’t set up outside (awnings, tables, levellers) or discharge fluids. Many towns also offer dedicated motorhome stopover areas (‘áreas de autocaravanas’), which may be free or low-cost.
In addition, there are plenty of campsites. Prices vary by region and season, but many off-peak stays fall in the €13 to €27 per night range.
All drivers must have a current and full driving licence to hire a vehicle. For foreign licences, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is also required.
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
