Did you know there are places in Andalusia where you can park your motorhome for such a low price, it feels like a well-kept secret? Some are so well located—with sea views or nestled next to historic villages—you’ll wonder how you hadn’t heard of them before. Stick around, because below you’ll find hidden gems not listed in typical travel guides, but increasingly popular among travelers who value freedom, comfort, and—above all—low prices.
This is your go-to guide for discovering cheap motorhome areas in Andalusia. Ready?
Why Is Andalusia So Special for Motorhome Travel?
Andalusia is one of the most complete regions to explore on wheels. Wake up by the sea on the Tropical Coast, enjoy lunch in a white village in the Alpujarra, and end the day under the stars in the Jaén countryside—all in one trip. Plus, the climate is welcoming almost year-round.
But if you travel by motorhome, you know the struggle: finding a place to sleep, shower, or dump waste can be tricky… and expensive. That’s why knowing the most affordable and well-equipped areas is a game-changer.
What Is a Motorhome Area and How to Spot a Cheap One?
A motorhome area is a designated space where you can park overnight, usually with basic services like drinking water, waste disposal, electricity, and sometimes showers or security.
But not all areas are the same. The cheapest ones are often run by local councils, small campsites, or low-cost private facilities. We’ll show you how to find them—and tell if they’re worth it.
Pro Tip: Flat-rate overnight areas (where all services are included) usually offer the best value.

How to Find More Cheap Motorhome Spots?
We’ve listed some top picks, but many more are hidden online or discovered by word of mouth. Here’s how to find them:
Use Apps Like Park4Night or Caramaps
These apps show real user reviews and let you filter by price. You’ll find photos, facilities, and updated comments.
Ask in Facebook Groups or Forums
The motorhome community is incredibly active. Look for groups like “Motorhomes in Andalusia” or “Budget Camper Spots” and ask around.
Travel Off-Peak
If you can travel in September, October, or springtime, you’ll save money and avoid crowds. Many spots drop their prices outside July and August.
No Motorhome Yet? Rent One in Madrid and Drive Down
Many travelers rent a campervan or motorhome in Madrid and drive down the A-4 or A-5 to Andalusia. It’s a smooth, direct route. Plus, Madrid has many rental companies, so it’s easier to find good deals and the exact model you want.
For short trips, renting in Madrid and doing a 5–7 day loop through Andalusia is the perfect way to try vanlife.
What to Consider Before Choosing a Cheap Motorhome Area
It’s not just about price. Ask yourself:
- Is it close to where I want to explore?
- Does it have good reviews?
- Are the services worth the cost?
- Is it safe and quiet?
Sometimes paying €2–3 more means better sleep and cleaner facilities. The goal isn’t to spend the least—it’s to get the best value.
Bonus: Quick Tips to Save on the Road
- Fill water at gas stations when possible
- Bring basic food and cook inside
