Discover the treasures of the Mediterranean by motorhome, unforgettable stops!
On the way to the Mediterranean in a motorhome: a radiant sun, a turquoise and transparent sea, sublime green trees, a rich heritage and different civilisations and cultures… So many symbols that represent the Mediterranean countries today.
Why go to the Mediterranean by motorhome?
As the world’s leading tourist destination, the Mediterranean seduces more than one traveller thanks to:
- Its superb natural landscapes (plants, flowers, trees, etc.)
- The diversity of its fauna (observation of migratory birds)
- The multitude of outdoor activities (water sports and lazing around)
- The mildness of its temperatures (lower and therefore more pleasant)
- The richness of its historical heritage (architecture, listed tourist sites)
- The presence of the Mediterranean climate (temperate and warm)
- The disparity of its way of life (culture, tradition, gastronomy)
During April and May, take the opportunity to stroll along the Mediterranean coast in your motor home. The cities are less busy, the temperatures more pleasant, but the activities are still numerous!
Where to go in the Mediterranean by motorhome?
Many countries border the Mediterranean Sea. The choice of destination quickly becomes complicated, so much so that each country has its own wonders and it is often difficult to choose the first destinations… We help you make your choice! Let’s go and discover the must-see addresses on the Mediterranean coast.
1. Italy and Sardinia 🇮🇹
In Italy, the landscape starts to bloom from Easter onwards… But it becomes absolutely splendid in Sardinia! This beautiful Italian island consists mainly of mountains and hills. Thanks to its steep landscape, hiking will be on the agenda for young and old in Sardinia… The opportunity to enjoy the Mediterranean landscape in a motorhome!
🚐📍 For a viewpoint facing the sea, head for the north west of Sardinia, for an idyllic stay in a motorhome, we recommend the Argentiera car park ⤵️
The other option, which is just as incredible, is to head to the north of Italy, a beautiful region full of surprises for travelling tourists.

♻️ The team makes it a point of honor to follow 100% of the good camper’s rules in order to leave the place as clean as possible, or even cleaner (!) when you arrive on the spot. This has been the mission of everyone and especially the CaraMaps campers since the beginning. Don’t venture out in a camper van just to venture out! First of all, take the time to measure the impact of your vehicle versus the planet (slow tourism, electric, solar panels..) and the importance of your responsible actions before and after your stay.
