Fuerteventura by camper: absolute freedom

The idea of exploring Fuerteventura by camper opens up a world of possibilities for a truly immersive and adventurous experience. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, an exhilarating solo journey, or a fun-filled trip with friends or family, traveling the island in a motorhome offers a unique blend of freedom and flexibility.

As I ventured across the island, I couldn’t help but notice the numerous campers dotting the landscape, sparking my curiosity about the unparalleled experiences they must be having. The freedom to linger on remote beaches without the need to return to a hotel each day, paired with the ability to carry heavy photographic equipment and stop for impromptu photo shoots, feels like a dream for any photography enthusiast. Imagine savoring the breathtaking coastal views, with the convenience of a half-stocked refrigerator to prepare meals on the go, all while capturing and immortalizing the stunning landscapes that Fuerteventura has to offer. It’s a prospect that speaks to the allure of embracing nature in its purest form, unbounded by conventional travel constraints.

Considering these possibilities, this mode of travel not only offers the flexibility of charting your own course but also the opportunity to create lasting memories against the backdrop of Fuerteventura’s remarkable beauty. The fusion of exploration, comfort, and creativity in one’s journey through this mesmerizing island embodies the essence of wanderlust and the untamed spirit of adventure.

Rent a camper in Fuerteventura

In these days I’ve puzzled a bit to see the offers of camper rentals on the island and I must say that the offer is not lacking. Most of the rentals are concentrated in Corralejo, but you can also find them in other places on the island. Camper models vary according to needs.
You can filter your search based on the number of seats, the presence of a refrigerator, toilet, and other accessories. It is clear that we start from the more “rustic” models of the Volksvagen or Peogeot type with the essential minimum (perhaps more suitable for young people), up to the more equipped and luxurious campers with 6/8 beds that can almost replace a small traveling house for a family with children or teenagers not too grown up.

Where to park

Parking a motorhome in Fuerteventura can be a simple yet arduous experience. Personally I wouldn’t venture too far into the sandy and dirt moors but, I’ll be honest, this is where I saw most of the campers parked. By the sea and on dirt roads. As if a space had been created for them.
Another fundamental thing for a camper is the possibility of being able to fill the water tank and, if present, empty the toilet (please don’t do it around or others could find your “waste”) There are rest areas equipped in some petrol stations along the main roads. Others in Corralejo.
Still others near campervan rentals and some where there are campsites.
In short.
Depending on the length of your trip, you can adjust accordingly

Some useful links

I won’t deny that with all the things I carry around, a camper holiday would be a really cool idea! The photographic equipment, the surf, few things to eat and the local delicacies that I will buy along the way. When I’m retired and have plenty of time, it will be a nice solution…
If I won’t be able to surf, at least I will be able to go for a lot of walks and go back to my camper to enjoy a sunset…

With so many rentals I will have no trouble finding the right one In the meantime, I share them with you:

• This camper rental is in Corralejo: it really offers many opportunities and also a parking area with various services.
  
• This however is really special: you can rent the legendary Westphalia refurbished and enjoy Fuerteventura with the adventurous spirit of the past. Or choose other slightly more comfortable alternatives.
  
• This dealer/rental offers solutions for all the Canary Islands. Who knows, maybe you’re lucky enough to have plenty of time and be able to see more than one island in one long trip!
  
• From my personal experience with camper/van, I can only mention Yescapa, a camper rental portal that I tried last December in Lanzarote and which apparently works everywhere (you will also find many rental companies using it among those mentioned above).
  The advantage I found with Yescapa is that you can find lots of reviews and photos and most importantly they have official insurance, although it is almost always a rental between private individuals.
  Personally, I think I will rely on this web portal again if I decide to go on a motorhome trip to Fuerteventura.
