Camping Municipal Midelt

Staying at Camping Municipal Midelt

Camping Municipal Midelt is a useful overnight stop on the long road between the north of Morocco and the desert. It lies close to the town centre, behind the El Ayachi hotel, in a secure area under 24-hour surveillance. Guests mention very friendly staff and clean facilities, which is exactly what you want after a long day of driving through the Middle Atlas. Few people plan a holiday around Midelt, yet plenty of road trippers are glad to have found it.

Getting there

The campsite is close to the centre of Midelt, so you do not need to venture far from the main road through town. Look for the El Ayachi hotel, then use the GPS coordinates on this page for the final metres. The road crosses high ground, and conditions can change quickly in winter, so check the forecast before setting off. Our guide to driving in Morocco has general advice, and our free road map of Morocco will help you plan the stages.

What to expect on site

This page lists electricity, restrooms, showers, drinking water and a waste point. No restaurant or pool is recorded, but the town centre is close, so food is easy to find. Being a municipal site, it keeps things simple, and that is usually all you need for a night or two.

Climate and the best time to come

Midelt stands at altitude, between the Middle and High Atlas, and its climate reflects that. Summer days are warm while nights stay cool, and winters are cold, with snow possible on the surrounding mountains and on the passes. Bring warm bedding outside the summer months, even if you are heading on to the desert.

Around the campsite

Midelt makes a natural break on the way to the Sahara. Read our page on desert camps in Morocco if the dunes are your destination, or head north towards Ifrane and the cedar forests. For other stops, see our guide to camping in Morocco.
