Despite record overnight stays at campsites, motorhome sales in Austria remain low. The key reason cited is the NoVA tax, which makes motorhomes 40-45% more expensive in Austria than in Germany. In 2025, only 2,054 new motorhomes were sold in Austria, representing 2.5% of the German market.

The classic physical vignette sticker for Austrian motorways will be discontinued from 2027. 2026 is the last year travelers can choose between the sticker and the digital version. The digital vignette is linked to the license plate and enforced by cameras; spontaneous travelers must note an 18-day activation period for online purchases.

Campgrounds in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg recorded an increase in overnight stays of over 4% last year. Authorities plan to amend the law: the share of mobile homes and bungalows on sites may rise from 30% to 50%, and their maximum size from 50 to 60 sq m. A uniform ban on wild camping, similar to Tyrol's model, is also under discussion.

Overnight stays at Austrian campsites reached a record 8.8 million in 2025, an increase of 3.46% over the previous year. This marks the fifth consecutive record year. Travel with motorhomes, caravans, and tents remains very popular, and the state of Vorarlberg is planning to simplify camping site regulations.

A Section-Control system measuring average speed is now active on the Lueg Bridge section of the A13 Brenner Motorway as of early 2026. The speed limit is 60 km/h for all vehicles, including motorhomes and caravans. Concurrent roadworks frequently reduce traffic to a single lane on this key route.

A draft amendment to the camping site law in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg has been published for public consultation until March 16, 2026. Key changes include allowing municipalities to increase the share of permanent pitches to up to 80% and permitting mobile homes and bungalows on plots up to 60 m². The amendment also simplifies approval procedures and removes the requirement for permanent pitches to be publicly marked.
