    I'm in a minority with my opinion here, but I think that free camping could be fine in some countries and areas, but not everywhere. There could be a number of reasons why locals and/or authorities don't want it and people being irresponsible is just one of those reasons. Other reasons could be disturbance of nature (here in the Netherlands for example, "nature" is restricted to small areas where even one quiet camper can cause hindrance to wildlife) overflow (allow one and the rest will follow) or economic. In the case of Ibiza where the economy is heavily reliant of tourists the loss of income because of visitors not willing to pay for staying overnight can add up and those visitors are still using amenities and infrastructure. A car park fee doesn't cover that.

      I agree. We live in Wales, and it’s prohibited, apart from in one county. There have been problems with black waste being emptied, disturbances to wildlife etc, particularly on the coastal areas. I follow Reds go travels, they’ve just been to Scotland and witnessed two lots of black waste emptied on a beautiful area, along with the remains of fires. It’s on one of their recent videos. Pretty poor when people expect to do exactly what they like, particularly in areas of outstanding natural beauty. We were up Snowdon two years ago, and were disgusted to find human excrement near to the paths. Some people are just all about themselves and their own enjoyment unfortunately.

      With love and respect, ❤️🤗💐 I disagree, people are the problem. Wildlife isn’t told where they can and can’t be. Humans should be free to come and go as they wish. No matter what, people are dirty and disrespectful I lived in Germany and someone pooped outside my block on more than one occasion and was sick outside my door, my next door neighbour which is a downstairs shop under flats, here in wales left a toilet and a heap of rubbish in a communal back garden, my sister in law can’t let her dog into communal garden as the neighbours dog poops in there and they never clean it, and it was like that before she moved in! My mum lives here in wales and where we walk the dog is a rubbish dump at the side of it, the rubbish comes out of there and litters the wildlife all over that area, as does McDonald’s, kfc and other takeaway food places. The beaches here are disgusting when holiday makers come up and stay in hotels and caravans they leave rubbish, bbqs, crisp packets, carrier bags, nappies, etc. People go to the woods to dump their rubbish and I’ve seen that in Spain too, a nice little walk in Mallorca up into the hills then there was windows smashed and dumped along with other building waste. The problem is global! None of this is from people living in vans, this is people who have homes permanently. It’s the cursed money system that limits our movement. Do you think the king or the pope would need permission to fly there or sleep in a motor home there? Not at all they have freedom of movement. I’m not for restricting anyone’s movement or freedom. I’m not a dirty person and would never leave a place in a mess and I don’t think Liam and Janine would either. People don’t realise it’s our world because they’re always told what to do so they have no respect for our world but they all respect dirty money that’s why it’s such a mess. Not because people wild camp!

    As somebody who used to work as a car park attendant, something we would look for to see if people were sleeping in their cars which was not allowed.
    Is the driver seat in a position that means it could be driven? If the driver seat was covered inaccessible? We would potentially consider any vehicle like this car camping/a camper conversion to create space in the back. Most put the stuff where they’re not able to use so something I’d always recommend is , making the front seats always accessible so as if you were parking so if they look in the front seats they just see a normal car. If you see loads of stuff in the front you tend to consider as potential for people to be camping inside number of times we were then, knock on the door to find out if they were camping. These were private car parks in Norfolk which prohibited overnight sleeping in vehicles.

    I know that you two are responsible caring people and treat your surroundings with respect. I have a place on the Spanish mainland not that far from Ibiza, so I read some of the press about the issue. For years Ibiza ( and other party areas) have been overwhelmed by people who party wildly and have basically destroyed for everyone else. It’s not the police, they are just doing their jobs and representing the views of residents. It’s the minority who destroy for everyone else but Ibiza wants to clean up its act.

    Ibiza is not an island where car camping would be acceptable, especially at this time when many local people in European holiday areas are protesting against mass tourism. The risk is high. I would imagine camping would mean cooking, drinking and getting your deck-chairs out and playing music, rather than just sleeping in the car. I use a black duvet cover and just hide if people show an interest.

    Great video! I know Spain very well but I've never actually been to Ibiza so it was great to get a virtual tour, it's quite beautiful. Enjoyed watching. Looking forward to seeing where you go next.
    I see someone recommended taking off your window covers as it flags you up as campers, which is true in the UK, but not in Spain. You may have noticed lots of people using reflective shields on their windows which is to try and protect your car from the heat when parked, as it ends up like an oven when you return. I use a windscreen one all the time and I'm not camping, just parking. So a combination of the reflective shields, and tinted windows, rather than window covers on the back side windows and tailgate window too, I think makes it look like you're just protecting the car from the heat, not camping. If you had those covers on the other windows that would be a red flag. I know you've got them on the front side windows but that could be explained as protecting the car from the heat as those windows aren't tinted, or hiding car contents from view.
    PS: Vowels in Spanish are usually pronounced phonetically, the way you teach children to spell.
    "I" sounds like 'i' in immense, so the 'i' in Ibiza is pronounced the same way you pronounce the i in India, not the way you say the i in Island. The emphasis in words is on the last syllable but one, so it's Ibeetha, emphasis on the 'ee', you don't emphasise the 'i' as you would when you say iPhone. The tempo of Ibiza is said with the same tempo as when you say Louisa. Hope that makes sense!
    If you'd like to learn a little Spanish to help you along, I really recommend the free Duolingo app, it's great, and fun! Always helps with the locals if you make an effort to speak Spanish, no matter how badly, they always appreciate it.

    Theres been a problem in Ibiza with camping for many years not just recent years, at the moment there’s illegal camps near Ibiza town and other parts of the island with many vans ,tents, cars and home made structures etc in my opinion they are all on high alert,the problem is Ibiza has a 6 month season,if you’re lucky,the price of accommodation, for residents, has become horrendously expensive,home owners prefer to rent to tourists as they make a lot more money so the knock on affect from that is apartments, houses stand empty 6 months of the year which has created a lack of affordable housing for residents and summer workers.
    Ibiza is a very small island 21 miles at its longest length and 12 miles wide,
    It’s a beautiful island my home for many years,I’m pleased you were able to experience the island in the way that you chose, at the same time, in my opinion ,there needs to be a certain amount of control over sleeping in vehicles etc on such a small island especially in summer months
    I have to say the correct pronunciation of eyebeefa is eeeebeetha😢sorry I know the majority of us brits pronounce it the” eye way” it’s my pet hate….
    Safe travels to you both 🙏

    Here in Australia most small townships have free camp sites, with showers and toilets. I'm planning a trip up north (Queensland) as it gets into spring down here. Every free site I've looked at has local council facilities and allows leashed dogs. That's the way to do it - let travelers roam around and enjoy the country if they want to. There's usually a 24 hour camping limit, which is fine, I won't even be unhitching the camper. I do have extra facilities for shower/toilet if absolutely necessary, but this is last resort at this stage. I'm on my way somewhere (music festival) with my teardrop camper and just need places for the afternoon/night. Petrol is dear enough as it is ($2/l). I don't need to be paying for camping/motels on top of that apart from my final destination which is private property and $20 a night close to a tropical beach. It will be a 3400 km round trip for me, over a couple of weeks.
    Also, while traveling, most big truck stops do have shower facilities for a small fee. In remote Queensland (no power, no cell, no camp sites) these are called "Roadhouses" and have been catering to travelers for over 100 years. Think combo fuel station/bar ($12 a stubby)/ dining room/ facilities/free camping.
    I'm also bush crafty for extremely remote areas. You wouldn't even know I was there, except there will be fewer wild boars ruining the channel country.
    Liam and Janine, you would love Australia. You could spend the rest of your lives traveling around it and see five new things every day. I kid you not. I think you should do it. It's as bizarre as India (in its own way) and as normal as Cornwall all at the same time.

    So funny imagining Janine and the cop eyeballing each other without him even realising it. It's all very well people in the comments saying you should pay for accommodation to support local tourism, but not everyone can afford it and if you're car camping without leaving a trace who exactly are you hurting? Hating all these restrictions everywhere. I've been watching some of the American van lifers and they have it so easy with free campgrounds they can stay at for weeks on end if they want. I'd love to see you guys doing an American trip to all the National Parks. Go, on, you know you want to.

    Great video, honest account of your travels. I've liked two sets of contradictory comments. We should respect the law in other countries as we would expect visitors to the UK to be law abiding, but I agree our genuine freedoms are being restricted , so maybe we have to take risks to experience a full life. Good luck with France, hope this next trip is crime free.

    Great to see you guys exploring in your belingo. We have travelled France alot in our camper. I would definitely reccomend getting away from costal south of france if wild camping. It is not as safe. Go inland, there are river beaches and lakes with incredible facilities all free to stop over. Most villages have a free van stop area. Medieval villages, (not carcassonne which is very touristy) bakeries and friendly locals. We are heading back in September we love it so much. Oh also the midges situation in much of the coastal south can be horrendous for vanlife! We use local swimming pools for showers (though you will need some budgie smugglers Liam, if hoping to swim! 😂)

    Finding toilet paper and excrement behind every hedge ruins good will towards stealth campers.
    If you run into problems with the police in decided areas, if they still have hostels there try camping near one and leave a hostel flyer where they can see it.
    Enjoy!

Jus takes away freedom ..Keep up the vids ..you guys give alot to mental heath issues that your audience learn from..
