The city of Fangchenggang has issued new management regulations for recreational vehicles. The rules specify requirements for parking, sanitation, and safety for motorhomes and caravans used for accommodation. The measures aim to standardize their use within the city area.

The rising popularity of motorhomes in China has led to parking violations and sanitation issues. Authorities in Guangxi and Yunnan are implementing new parking regulations, attempting to balance restrictions with designated parking areas. Key challenges include infrastructure shortages, legal gaps, and low awareness of rules among owners.

At the 2026 Shenzhen municipal legislative session, representative Yang Qin put forward proposals to promote the healthy development of the motorhome industry. He highlighted that with over 3,000 motorhomes in the city, there are only 9 compliant parking spots and a severe shortage of professional campsites. The proposals call for a three-tier parking system and the formulation of relevant regulations.

Shenzhen authorities have regulated motorhome parking by designating nine official sites. Parking fees range from 20 to 600 yuan per day, with services including water, electricity, and showers. The city is also considering price adjustments to deter long-term occupancy of public parking spaces.

Motorhome owners are gathering in large numbers, occupying parking spaces in city parks and using them as unofficial campsites. Journalists confirmed the situation on-site. Local residents have praised the government's measures to manage the phenomenon.

Authorities in Ledong County, Hainan Province, China, have launched a campaign against disorderly parking of motorhomes. New regulations require motorhomes used for overnight stays to be parked only in designated areas. The measure aims to regulate tourist flow and maintain public order.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau of Pu'er City conducted a field survey of motorhome living conditions. Officials made unannounced visits to gathering points in Simao, Ning'er, and Mojiang counties, interviewing travelers and residents. Key issues include a lack of standardized parking camps, insufficient water and waste disposal facilities. The bureau will compile a list of problems and work with relevant departments to standardize the motorhome tourism market.

Beihai City in Guangxi has issued new regulations to standardize RV parking and has opened its first four designated parking areas. The sites offer over 500 spaces with basic facilities and are not yet fully occupied. The rules prohibit long-term parking on main roads and public spaces, as well as activities like setting up temporary structures, using open flames, or dumping waste.

The cities of Ruili and Beihai have introduced new rules to manage motorhomes and caravans. Key measures include banning overnight stays in non-designated public parking areas, limiting temporary stops to six hours, and prohibiting activities like cooking and setting up awnings in public spaces. Specific parking zones with tiered fees have been established in Ruili.

Authorities in several Chinese cities, including Ruili and Beihai, are implementing new restrictions for motorhomes and travel trailers. As of December 31, 2025, overnight stays and long-term parking outside designated areas are prohibited in Ruili, with temporary parking limited to 6 hours. Activities such as open fires, setting up awnings, and unauthorized connections to municipal utilities are also banned.

Authorities in Beihai, Guangxi, have cleared recreational vehicles from a free parking lot, citing tents and structures that marred the city's appearance. The action follows a viral video showing a dispute between RV owners and officials, highlighting a broader issue of long-term parking, resource misuse, and a lack of designated areas in tourist regions like Guangxi and Yunnan. Experts suggest establishing clear regulations and dedicated parking zones with basic utilities to manage the growing RV tourism trend.
