Ordino prepares new motorhome areas near Arcalís

The Government of Andorra has issued a decree temporarily suspending the ban on overnight stays in motorhomes, caravans, campers and camper vans for the La Purito Andorra cycling event and a stage of La Vuelta a España. The exception applies from July 31 to August 2 (La Purito) and on August 24–25 (La Vuelta stage), except in Sant Julià de Lòria during the latter. The measure aims to accommodate the influx of visitors traveling in such vehicles.

Residents of Sornàs who own paid parking and overnight spaces for motorhomes (annual fee of 250 euros) report that the lot is constantly occupied by tourists who do not pay and exceed time limits, leaving no room for paying users. Complaints to the police have not resolved the issue. A new regulation banning overnight stays outside designated areas (fines up to 600 euros) is considered ineffective due to a chronic lack of legal alternatives.

Andorran police have begun fining owners of motorhomes and camper vans for overnight stays or camping outside designated areas. The fine is €600, halved if paid on the spot; non-payment leads to vehicle immobilization. The measure, adopted by the Ministry of Tourism and Trade after a 2025 transition period, aims to free up public parking and enforce tourist tax collection. The country offers 350 authorized overnight spots, including campsites and designated zones, but users report insufficient infrastructure and warn of a potential drop in visitor numbers.

Andorra has enforced a ban on overnight stays and camping in motorhomes and caravans outside official zones since 2025. Violators face a €600 fine, reduced to €300 if paid on the spot; refusal to pay results in vehicle seizure by police. The measure aims to reduce pressure on nature and infrastructure, following similar restrictions in Spain, Portugal, and France. Legal overnight options include campsites and designated areas, with an updated list available from the tourism office.

Police have started fining motorhomes, caravans and campervans for overnight stays or camping outside authorized areas as of Wednesday. The fine is 600 euros, reduced to 300 if paid on the spot, and vehicles may be immobilized. The measure follows a transition period since 2025.

A law has come into effect in Andorra imposing fines of up to 600 euros for overnight stays in motorhomes and campervans outside designated areas. Following an information period that began in July 2025, authorities may now start issuing fines, particularly for repeat offenses or overnight stays in protected areas like Tristaina or Engolasters lakes. Concurrently, parishes have created new overnight spots to better control the collection of the tourist tax, set at 1.05 euros per person per day.
