Traveling by camper or motorhome through the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a unique way to experience the contrasts of the Canary Islands: the volcanic landscapes of Mount Teide, black sand beaches, the lush forests of La Gomera, the scenic viewpoints of El Hierro, and the wild beauty of La Palma. But like on any road trip, there comes a time when a good shower is more than welcome. If your van doesn’t have one—or you’re just looking for something more comfortable—here are some practical options across the different islands in the province.
On Tenerife and La Palma, you’ll find several authorized campsites that allow access to showers, sometimes even without an overnight stay. It’s always best to check at reception. Many also offer services like grey water disposal, designated camping areas, or laundry.
While not as common as on the mainland, some gas stations on the larger islands (especially Tenerife) do have showers. These were mainly designed for truck drivers but are also available to travelers.
In many towns—on Tenerife as well as the other islands in the province—you can use public sports centers’ changing rooms and showers with a day pass. It’s a budget-friendly option, and great if you also want to swim or get in a bit of exercise.
In small towns or rural areas, it’s common to find hostels or rural houses that may let you use their showers without booking a night. Just ask politely. This can be especially helpful on islands like El Hierro or La Gomera, where services are more limited—but the locals are incredibly welcoming.
