My quite limited experience of campsites in Morocco was not favourable. You can often get a reasonable room in a hotel for not a great deal more dirhams.

Same here, in January 06 myself, 2 Dutch and a Belgian got 2 adequate rooms between us(single beds!) for €2 each plus a tip for the Guardien who looked after the bikes overnight, this was in Kenifra.

Camping Boujdour
Hello,
I came back from Senegal/Mauretania/West-Sahara/Marroco and I had one exceptional positive experience concerning camp sites: This Boujdour, between Laayoune und Dhakla, approx. 150km south of Laayoune. The camp site is really new, very clean and the best sanitary arrangements, hot water. For me just perfect. Here the GPS-data: N26 07.941 W14 29.676;
from the main road in the middle of town you find a sign "camping" direction to the sea. I also can recommend breakfast there. The owners were incredible nice.
Have a nice trip.
Lalli

Most of the time when we were driving round Morocco last year we just parked up and camped where we were when it got to the evening. We didn't have any hassle, and just followed tracks off the road until we felt comfortable somewhere...
On a bike would be different, but we had no problems and found that it was very relaxed. Sometimes we'd have visitors who wanted to have a good stare at us and a chat, but no problems. In fact the only country where I feel uncomfortable parked up in the car is Britain where years of official persecution of anyone living in a vehicle has resulted in it always being a paranoid night in the car...

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
