The new campsite Le Relais de Marrakech just outside Marrakech in Morocco is located at a unique location in Morocco. Since 2007 this place established itself as travel hub where many gather on their journey.

Gateway to southern Morocco

For tourists and travelers, Marrakech is the gateway to southern Morocco and beyond. With the high atlas mountains and the desert in the south and south-east and the Atlantic sea-coast on the west, it’s a unique geographical location where many arrive and pass by on their way to the south and vice-versa.

Return can be arranged upto 9 pm in the evening. Unlike other places the taxi ride is scam-free, no tricks. For a self organized return taxi rides to the campsite be aware of the euro-trick.

It’s also possible to take your own car and park at one of the private car parks near the center. An alternative is to drive the first 5 Km yourself up to Marjane supermarket and take bus 12 to the city center.

Marrakech spring-time climate

The climate during spring-time varies with cool, fresh winds from the west and soaring hot days as a reminder how hot it can get in summer-time. But most of all, it’s a (very) dry place and it usually gets a bit windy in the late afternoon.
