Traveling through the province of Barcelona in a camper or motorhome is a fantastic way to enjoy the Mediterranean, inland villages, and the natural beauty of Montseny or Garraf Natural Parks. Whether you're strolling through the streets of the capital, exploring towns like Sitges, Vic, or Mataró, or driving along the Maresme coast, it’s always good to know where to find a comfortable shower. If your van doesn’t have a bathroom—or you’re just looking for a more practical option—here are some useful spots throughout the province.
Barcelona has a wide network of campsites, many of which are well adapted for travelers on the road. Some allow access to showers without needing to stay overnight. Your best bet is to stop by reception and ask. Many also offer other helpful services like laundry, waste disposal, or battery charging.
On major roads in and out of Barcelona—like the AP-7, C-32, or A-2—you’ll find gas stations with showers. These were originally designed for truck drivers, but they’re also accessible for vanlifers.
In many towns, public sports centers allow access to changing rooms and showers with a day pass. It’s an affordable option, and great for relaxing after a drive—or for cooling off with a swim in summer.
In rural areas or inland towns, many simple accommodations—like hostels or albergues—may let you use their showers even if you’re not staying overnight. A polite ask often does the trick, especially outside the high season.
