Exploring Alicante by camper is one of the best ways to enjoy everything the province has to offer: beaches like Calpe and Guardamar, the buzz of Benidorm, the landscapes of the Sierra de Aitana, and charming villages like Altea, Villajoyosa, or Guadalest. But after so many kilometers, it’s also great to find a comfortable spot to freshen up. If your van doesn’t have a shower—or you’re just looking for a more practical option—here are some handy alternatives across the province.
Alicante has a wide network of campsites, many of them well used to hosting vanlifers and motorhome travelers. Some allow you to use their showers without staying overnight—just check with reception first. Most also offer extras like laundry, water refill, or grey water disposal.
Along major routes like the AP-7, A-31, or N-332, you’ll find service stations with showers available. They’re mostly designed for truck drivers, but they’re open to any traveler who needs a quick wash.
Many towns in Alicante offer day passes to local sports centers or municipal pools. It’s a practical way to shower—and also a good excuse for a swim or a bit of exercise after the drive.
In some inland villages or less touristy areas, hostels and albergues might let you use their showers without staying the night. Asking kindly usually does the trick—especially outside the high season.
