Is it worth coming to Lanzarote with a motorhome?
Absolutely yes! If you like adventure, prefer to travel at your own pace and want to make the most of your holiday on the island, discovering Lanzarote by motorhome is the best idea.
Lanzarote is an island with an immense wealth of landscapes and for nature lovers, the possibility of discovering all its wonders by motorhome is an unforgettable experience that we highly recommend!
Where can I park my motorhome on Lanzarote?
There are many possibilities to enjoy Lanzarote with a camper van, because you can park or sleep almost anywhere. You can spend the night wherever you like, as long as you are not camping and there is no sign specifically forbidding it. What are the restrictions?
- You can stay in the same place for 48 hours. After this time you must move your vehicle to another site.
- You must always remove the awning and chairs at night.
- At night, you must not cross the white lines that mark the coastline (they are 20-40 metres from the sea).
You can also park without restriction in the free car parks on the island, where there are spaces reserved for campervans.
Which places can we recommend? Playa Mujeres, Famara or Janubio beach are good places to spend the night in Lanzarote with a camper van.
How and where can I refuel?
If you are travelling to Lanzarote in your motorhome, there are many places where you can fill up your tank. At these places you can fill up your tank and at the same time, if you need to, fill up with clean water or dispose of grey and black water.
The cost of this service is low and you can find them in places such as Teguise, San Bartolomé, Tinajo, Arrecife, Playa Honda, Arrieta or Yaiza, to name but a few.
How can I plan my route efficiently?
If you want to plan an efficient route around Lanzarote with your motorhome, follow these tips:
- Find out in advance about the tourist sites you want to visit and their geographical location so that you can plan your route in the most practical way.
- Plan an itinerary that minimises your travelling time and maximises your enjoyment at each stop.
- Confirm opening and closing times, ticket prices and other details about sights you don’t want to miss.
- Include strategic logistical points on your route, such as campgrounds, rest areas and the like.
- Carry enough drinking water, food and other essentials (cooking utensils, first aid kit, GPS, etc.).
Even if you have a plan, make sure it’s not a closed one. Flexibility is one of the advantages of discovering Lanzarote by motorhome, respecting the natural areas and the rules of each place.
What places can’t be missed when travelling by motorhome?
As a guide to help you plan your trip around Lanzarote with your motorhome, here are some of the places you cannot miss:
- Los Hervideros
