The camping in the upper village sounds like Zebra and I know the place next door. 450dh is exorbitant, in southern Morocco I favour staying in Gites d'Etape which rarely charge more than 150dh for dinner, bed and breakfast!
It's three months per visit, not per year. Most people just go to Ceuta and back out again to renew this. Occasionally people get turned back but you just try again in six hours time when the shifts change. Vehicles are limited to six months per year.
When you enter the country with a vehicle you need to make sure you are given three months on that as well. I had a problem when I left my bike in Morocco for an emergency and when I returned my three months of vehicle entry were almost up. In sorting this out I had the chance to watch the Moroccan Customs' vehicle records IT system in action and it seems the six months per year limitation is per calendar year.
And of course if you renew your passport, all the records start again...
It's interesting that the Moroccans manage to have a fairly good system for tracking people and their vehicles in and out of the country and the UK spends billions and doesn't yet have a working system. Hey ho.
