WildSpotter - Vanlife Radar

Find spots no one has shared.

WildSpotter is a geographic radar that analyzes terrain, satellite imagery, and legal regulations to discover overnight spots in Spain. It's not a review directory—it's a system that processes real geographic data to reveal places no one has published.

88,000+ spots analyzed. Coverage of all 17 autonomous communities.

FREE

All this, free and ad-free:

• Complete map of Spain with 88,000+ spots
• Van ratings: each spot receives 0 to 5 vans based on 5 categories—Accessibility, Surroundings, Peace and Quiet, Seclusion, and Terrain. At a glance, you'll know if you can reach it with your van, if it's a special spot, and if you'll sleep soundly.
• Vangopins by quality level: green (top), cyan (good), amber (with warnings)
• Clear legal notices: which regulations apply, how to behave while inside, and a plan B (nearby designated areas) — actionable information, not empty alert levels
• Your vehicle profile: tell us about your van, and we'll tell you if the regulations for each location apply to you
• Legal updates per spot: press releases about controls and ordinances in the area, with a link to the original source
• List mode with complete pagination of the area
• Folders to organize your favorite spots (no account required)
• High-resolution satellite image per spot (PNOA, 25 cm/pixel)
• Radar scan: scans wide areas without zoom lock
• Direct navigation to Google Maps
• Offline cache of previously viewed spots

HOW IT WORKS

Each spot goes through a geographic analysis pipeline:
Radar (OpenStreetMap) → Terrain (slope and elevation) → Legal (MITECO, Cadastre, official bulletins) → Satellite (AI on PNOA orthophoto) → Context (noise, buildings, views, privacy) → Land use (CORINE) → Access analysis and van scoring.

DATA SOURCES

• OpenStreetMap (Geofabrik) — spot geometry
• IGN Spain PNOA — satellite orthophoto 25 cm/pixel
• MITECO — Natura 2000, National Parks, Coastal Law
• Cadastre — parcel classification
• BOE + regional decrees + municipal ordinances — overnight regulations
• CORINE Land Cover 2018 — land use (Copernicus)
• AEMET — fire risk alerts

PRIVACY

WildSpotter is NOT a review directory. There are no user reviews, photos, or publicly shared locations. Spots are discovered by analyzing geographic data, not by publishing your favorite spot for everyone to see.

IMPORTANT

WildSpotter provides data and general information. It does not guarantee that a spot is legal or safe for overnight stays; the signage at the site itself always takes precedence over the information provided. The decision and responsibility always rest with the user. Always consult current local regulations.
