Mojacar makes camping illegal outside designated areas

New law will make it illegal to camp overnight.

A byelaw passed by the ayuntamiento of Mojacar and which recently came into effect makes it illegal to camp overnight, whether in tents, caravans or camper vans, or even people wanting to sleep in their cars, in any area that is not an officially designated campsite. The fine for anyone found breaking the byelaw is from 60 to 100 euros with the maximum reserved for anyone causing damage to street furniture or leaving the area they had been camped in dirty. Camper vans have been a common sight parked overnight in car parks next to the beach or even on the beach in areas further from the main built-up zones. The fines can be given by both local police and Guardia Civil and they have as a last resort the possibility of using the council tow truck to remove caravans and camper vans.
