CARAVAMOS CARAVAN & SURF JAMBOREE

Motorhome, caravan, camper and car rental Fuerteventura

QUICK FACTS

Fuerteventura has the endless summer vibe and waves every day & all day! In addition this beautifully wild island is the campervan paradise of Europe. All above inspired us to start our company and our goal is to give all of you an easy entry into vanlife experience and also surfing. Caravanning is also better in a community, that's why we decided to organize cmps including this surf jamboree in February 2024. It is a surfcamp with a twist as your accommodation will be in motorhomes, which can park right at the beach. Any beach which provides the best surf for the day! No surfing experience is required, beginners are more than welcome too! Cross two things off of your bucket list right there #learntosurf & #vanlife. Lessons can be booked from beginner to intermediate level. Besides surfing there is plenty to see and experience on this beautiful island so non-surfing guest should not hesitate to join either. The motorhomes will move around and we will visit beautiful natural sights, catch stunning sunsets and sunrises. In addition we are also working on to run a surf competition this week too. It is not confirmed yet but keep checking back for updates if that motivates you!

ABOUT THE CAMP

We have organized camps in the previous years to test the itinerary and in general the flow of this unique "surf camps on wheels" set-up. In 2024 we are scaling up and offering several camps built around various themes and this Caravanning Surf Jamboree will open our camps season in the first week of February. So why not try something new and enjoy the summer with group of friends or family before/after or instead of the ski/snowboard trip.

No surf experience is required! Beginners and intermediate surfers can sign up for lessons and guidance will be provided to experience surfers if needed. The great advantage of the motorhomes is the freedom and flexibility, the camp can split up for the surf sessions if needed and visit different beaches which provide the best waves according to level of surfers. And this flexibility also applies to non-surfing guests, who will be able to do some extra tours while rest of the gang is surfing.

Fuerteventura is the least touristy and most "hippie" island of the Canaries. It is not only a paradise for water sports but also for campervans and motorhomes. We will not stay in camping sites during the week but sleep right next to the ocean! It is possible to park at the beach and on the cliffs of the coast with panoramas and sunsets or sunrises you will always remember!

The weekly schedule is well tested and includes lot of activities and hikes to keep non-surfing guests entertained too. We will visit volcanoes, caves, cliff jump spots, rock pools and great local restaurants to refill your energy. With the freedom of the motorhomes we can always adjust the schedule according to the group's needs. But of course we will keep the gang together most of the time nothing beats a fun sunset session in great company.

This camp will focus mainly on surfing and you do not need surfing experience to join. If you decide to join the camp but not to surf that's not a problem either we will have tips and guidance if you do not want to hang out at the beach while others are surfing. However we really recommend you to give it a try, you will love it, we guarantee that! We work with local surf schools and instructors who are passionate about teaching. All the equipment will be provided during surf lessons & experienced surfers can rent equipment too.

We might even run a surf competition during the week, but that is still a work in progress. Get in touch with us if you are interested in the competition and we will keep you in the loop.

THE PLANNED SCHEDULE

DAY 1

Arrival day. We will organize your transfers from FUE airport or pick you up at the ferry port in Corralejo if you are flying to Lanzarote airport which is also a option if you find better deals for plane tickets to ACE.
The motorhomes will be handed over at our camping site in Corralejo. This will be our base to service the motorhomes (refill fresh water, discharge grey/black water). The motorhomes are fully equipped (kitchen, bathroom, hot water, electricity, solar panels) so you will be able to charge your devices during the day or at night even when we will be off the grid at the coast. In most places we will have decent phone reception too and the mobile data charges are based on EU regulations. Bedsheets and towels will also be provided to you so you can travel light with probably one checked bag per 2-4 friends or per family.
Our camping site is walking distance to Corralejo town center. If you arrive early you can spend the day at the beach, have lunch at one f the lovely restaurants and do some shopping too.
When the group is there we will spend some time learning how to handle the motorhomes and then we will start rolling... and arrive in a few minutes to our first spot at the edge of Corralejo. Welcome dinner in town with the group!

DAY 2

Wake up to the nice sunrise with Lanzarote island as the backdrop. Jog along the coast or hit an outdoor gym nearby for a street work-out. After breakfast we will go the the surf school to collect equipment and sign the necessary paperwork.
Then we will head to El Cotillo for the first lesson. It is a beginner friendly beach break with sandy bottom. This might change depending on the surf conditions. We spend the rest of the day in El Cotillo exploring the town, the nearby lagoons, the kid friendly beach La Concha and a lovely lighthouse too.
We will spend the night in El Cotillo, next to the castle.

DAY 3

Breakfast at the beach, morning yoga at the beach or a run on the trail along the coast. We will hang out at El Cotillo beaches today and plan for a surf sessions in the morning. After lunch in Corralejo we will head to Lajares. This is the most surf-hippie town of the island with many souvenir shops offering hand-made items and cafés, restaurants. We will spend some time here and then drive to Majanicho, Punta Blanca. We plan a bonfire and bbq grill for dinner at the beach. Music, dancing and some drinks are also an option.

DAY 4

Again we plan a morning surf session. We will order lunch to the beach. Then we will head to the camping site to refill the motorhomes and start our trip down south. We will drive along the west coast and stop at many interesting spots like Los Molinos, Betancuria, Ajuy. Our overnight spot will be in La Pared which is also a great surf spot but we will not have organized lessons here.
There are no shops here only a small restaurant which may not be open so we will bring and prepare our own food at the beach for dinner and breakfast.

DAY 5

No organized surf lessons today but we will keep exploring the southern part of the island. We will also need to refill water and service the campers. We will hit some nice sport around La Pared and then we will head to Costa Calma area and stop at Sotavento beach on the east coast. White sand, lagoons with crystal clear water in all shades of blue you can imagine. This will be a place where the group may decide to stay and relax or go further down south which is the most touristy part of the island. There is also a zoo nearby to spend time with kids. The planned overnight spot will be in Caleta de Fuste. This town has an aquarium and you can also book catamaran trips from here. But we might stay at Sotavento beach to experience its beautiful sunrise.

DAY 6

The surf lesson will be in the afternoon. That will give ample time for the group to get back from Caleta the Fuste or Sotavento and explore the dunes of Corralejo. Non surfers will be able to spend time in Corralejo or do a volcano hike. The night will be spend in the north west corner near Corralejo.

DAY 7

Breaskfast, yoga, relax and play at the beach during the morning surf lesson. There are several options around Correlajo for non-surfers. Some of them are pricey as everywhere like dolphin watch, boat excursions, jet-ski and buggy rental, scuba diving or snorkeling day trips. But these are all optional and maybe better suited for another trip. We will have some hiking options ready for you and also we can rent bikes to ride along the north-western tip of the island.
A more unique place is Tefía with a museum which was a concentration camp during the Franco dictatorship that served for the confinement of common and political prisoners and for the reeducation of homosexual men.

DAY 8

Returning with the motorhomes to the camping site, cleaning and servicing of the vehicles. Depending on your flight schedule you may have lunch in Corralejo or do another short visit to nearby attractions. The transfers to the airport or ferry port will be organized based on your flight schedules. We will say goodbye to each other but hopefully not forever!
