Have a look at the Camping Cheques website - they offer some sites in Morocco. Mind you, most of them seem to be aimed at motorhomes rather than caravans. I think there's a company called something like Desert Trek which can offer 'packaged' touring in Morocco, too.

There's also a previous posting which might help.

Hi Bob, if you click on the yellow "Features/tips" box at the top of the home page, then use the drop-down box to select the section "Shows and events, days out, and travel tales", then scroll down quite a long way you will find "On the road to Morocco 2004", a detailed account of a couple's caravan trip to Morocco, with names of campsites. Sorry I can't give you a link to it, I'm not that good with computers!

hi.i think its best not to take a normal run of the mill caravan. i visit maroc most winters and see proper prepared adventure trailer vans. they work. i took a small teardrop once and had to get it fixed a couple of times. the roads can be quite bad. i broke three springs on my mini artic one year. luckily i carry welding gear with me. the roads are getting better and alot of the piste type roads have been tarmaced but potholes are deep.most go in m,homes or well prepared trucks.there are thousands out there. something like 26,000 campers hit maroc in winter. all nations, campsites are getting expensive and free camping is getting more difficult .have fun ,we do. cheers alan

Hi All

Trip to Morocco good read however don't think we're that adventurous just looking for winter sun and visit to the "big icons" Research suggests Tangier to Agadir and "trip out" with the car from there then probably Essaouira on the way back up again to "trip out"

Hopefully Ocean highway is good now (unless anyone knows different)

Off road no attraction

OH has found a link on another caravan website about a couple who took their van to Morocco last year - it might be of interest.
