For those as foolish as us, this may be of some use.

​Visa : Before arrival we had been told to get our visa for Mauritania in Rabat. The day before we went, we called and they told us they no longer do visas in Rabat and to get it at the border. This was corroborated by some other overlanders who had just gone through the border and got their Mauritanian visa for the princely sum of 120 Euro. It seems they like to have Euros rather than their own currency.
 
Camp sites:
 
Marrakesh: We stayed in Relais de Marrakesh. Great campsite. Bar, pool, wifi, taxi pools into Marraskesh, washing machine, clean, modern bathrooms. 90Dh.
 
Moulay Idriss: We stayed in Moulay Idriss Restcamp. This was lovely, set within the olive groves. The owners were great, making us Morrocan tea in the morning. Bathrooms spotless. Very hot showers. No wifi. 75 D
 
Fez: We stayed in Camping International. Grim. Very few other campers, bathrooms filthy. Hot water in the mens bathroom. I imagine it would be much better in season but the staff seemed much more interested in running the bar which was filled with drunk Moroccans. 110 D
 
Chefchouen: We stayed in the Camping Municipal. Nice campsite with clean bathrooms. 10D for a hot shower, although there was no hot water on the morning we were there. Nice location up on the hill overlooking the town. Quite well sign posted. 85D
 
Diesel: 7.35 D/L
Petrol: 9.5 D/L
 
Admin:
Insurance was needed if you don’t have a green card. We were unable to get one in England. 61 Euro just after customs at the port in Tangiers.

Just saw what you wrote about Mauritania and it is true. They changed it last year from 50 euro to 120 and you get it at the border, not at the embassy (I went to the embassy in Dakar and they said they couldnt help me and to get from the border). When I arrived all visa processing staff were on a 3 hour break but eventually succeeded! Hope youre having an amazing time, so jealous!!
