The answers to the questions guests ask us most before booking.
01
How much is the deposit, and how do I pay the balance?
You pay a 10% deposit online to confirm your booking through our secure PayPal checkout, with debit or credit card payment available when offered by PayPal. The remaining 90% is paid on arrival at the camp in cash, in euros (EUR) or Moroccan dirhams (MAD).
02
Can I pay by card at the camp? Are there ATMs nearby?
We do not have a card terminal at the camp, so please bring cash for your remaining balance. There are several ATMs in the area where you can withdraw Moroccan dirhams (MAD).
03
Do the rooms have private bathrooms?
No, all bathrooms at the camp are shared with other guests, including when you book a private bedroom. We do not have rooms with private or en-suite bathrooms.
04
Are towels included?
Yes, towels are provided during your stay and are included in the price.
05
What is the surf and the weather like? When is the best time to visit?
Surf is great year-round: winter offers bigger swells, autumn and spring are perfect for all levels, and summer is warm and calmer.
06
What are the house rules?
We're a home, not a hotel — a small family space we all share, so a few simple rules keep the good vibes flowing: come with positive energy and a sense of fun; keep it calm and quiet after 11pm; no smoking in the rooms or bathrooms; no pets; don't bring outside visitors into the camp without asking us first; switch off the lights and fans when you leave your room to save energy; rinse your wetsuit and hang it in the drying area (not in your room); tidy up after yourself in shared spaces; and treat the team, other guests and the local community with respect. If good vibes and a sense of fun aren't really your thing, this probably isn't the camp for you — and that's totally okay.
07
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes — we strongly recommend it. Travel and medical insurance is each guest's own responsibility, and it should cover surfing and water sports (many standard policies don't). Nomad Surf Camp doesn't provide insurance and isn't liable for medical costs, injury, or lost or damaged belongings, so please travel insured. See our Terms for the full details.
08
What are your check-in and check-out times?
Both are flexible. You can check in at any time of day or night, and your airport transfer is included in your package. Just note that the night you arrive counts as one night of your stay, even for very late arrivals (for example, arriving at 3 AM still counts that night). Check-out is flexible too, so you can leave any time on your departure day and are welcome to join the day's activities, like a final surf session, before you go. One small note: if you join the group's surf on your check-out day but want to head back to the camp earlier than everyone else (to pack, shower or rest), the return taxi from the surf spot to the camp is at your own cost, starting from about 50 MAD depending on the spot.
09
Do you accept stays shorter or longer than 7 nights?
Yes. Our minimum stay is 3 nights, and the booking calendar lets you pick anything from 3 up to 60 nights. From night 14 onward, only the additional nights receive a lower long-stay rate, so adding a night can never reduce your total. For multi-month stays, send us a custom inquiry.
10
What are check-in and check-out times? Can I arrive late or leave very early?
Standard check-in is from 14:00 and check-out before 11:00. Late arrivals are no problem — even if your flight lands after midnight, just let us know your flight number in advance and someone will be there. Early-morning departures (e.g. 3 AM airport runs) are also possible with prior notice. Just message us via WhatsApp or email after booking.
11
Is the airport transfer included?
Yes — airport transfer from Agadir Al-Massira (AGA) to the camp is included free of charge for every booking, regardless of length. Just send us your flight details after booking and we organize the rest. Late-night and early-morning transfers are no problem.
12
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans, or gluten-free diets?
Yes — vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals are all available. For celiac or severe allergies, please tell us at booking so our chef can prepare meals separately to avoid cross-contamination. Halal is the default in our kitchen.
13
What's the minimum age for kids? Do you have lessons for teenagers?
We welcome kids from age 6 with parents or older teenagers in family group bookings. For groups of 3+ teens (14–17), we can organize dedicated coaching sessions with a similar-age group. Send us a custom inquiry with your kids' ages and dates.
14
I'm a solo traveler — what should I expect?
About 60% of our guests come solo. You'll be welcomed into a small community of surfers from around the world — shared meals, group surf sessions, evening rooftop hangs. Solo travelers can stay in the shared dorm at the base price or choose a private double or twin room for a €400 weekly supplement, prorated by night.
