Thanks in advance

Just a few of the normal ones en-route to Accra - popular for very good reasons - it is going to be a trip of 2 halves - V hot, then V wet! You may get a few prices from Google searches of the below -

Le Relais 4x4 - Very nice, popular campsite + pool on way into Marrakech off Casa road (not so easy to find)
Fort Bou Jerif - out in the sticks near Guilmim - spectacular campsite & bedouin tents
Les Roi Bedouin Campsite - approx 42km N of Laayoune - great little restaurant but can be closed in the height of summer sometimes.
Auberge Menata (cheap) or Hotel Jeloua (nicer) in NKT (both run by same people)
Zebrabar - campsite / bar / heaven - signposted just after St Louis on road to Dakar.
Palal - lets you camp - next to Lac Rose at Dakar
Sukuta Camping - Serrakunda (near Banjul)
Bird Safari Camp - tents on the river in central Gambia (not as cheap as you might expect) - beautiful spot.
Casa Africa in Bobo - cheap & cheerful rooms & camping, or L'Auberge - costly but nice
Yapasdeproblem in Mopti - nice place & v good value but you can get cheaper
Hotel Tamana in Bamako - not the cheapest option but V nice
Hotel Bouctou in TBT - cheap rooms and okay
Hotel Ricardo - Ouaga - mid-range hotel - treat yourself, the view of the Volta at the poolside is amazing

Listed a few hotels later on (mid-rangers) so may be out of budget but you are in the rainy season so may make a welcome respite!

Good luck & have a great trip,
Lee

Green Turtle Lodge. Definitely in the top 5 of best beaches in Africa. You won't be able to leave. It's on your way when you come in from Ivory Coast.
