Bulgarian Coast Check Finds Illegal Caravans on Dunes

In Brief

Police in Vromos Bay found two illegally parked vehicles. Authorities admit the problem has persisted for years, signs disappeared, and new camping rules took effect in 2025.

The Burgas regional administration conducted an inspection in Vromos Bay after reports of systematic parking on dunes. Police found two improperly parked vehicles, and their drivers were warned. Authorities acknowledged the problem has existed for years, and prohibition signs installed at the start of the season have disappeared.

Earlier, dozens of caravans were found on dunes and the beach near Kara-Dere, some with license plates removed. A regulation in force since 2025 requires that temporary sites for tents, campers, and caravans be equipped with waste containers, chemical toilets, and a garbage removal system, and be located outside beaches and dunes. Environmental organizations criticize the regulation as overly bureaucratic.

Over 50 caravans found in illegal campsite near Pasha dere

A large-scale inspection in the forest area above Pasha dere beach in Bulgaria uncovered more than 50 caravans, tents, awnings, cars and other structures forming an illegal campsite. The operation, initiated by regional governor Mario Smarkov, involved police, environmental inspectors, forestry officials and the Avren municipality. Owners were given notices to remove their property by August 23 or face fines up to 3,000 leva. A previous inspection at Byala – Kara dere beach resulted in about 80% of caravans being removed.

Dozens of caravans and campers must leave unauthorized campsite near Pasha Dere

A joint inspection near Pasha Dere in the Varna region found dozens of caravans and campers parked in forest areas and on the beach. Authorities from the regional administration, police, fire department, and forestry agency participated. Owners were given until August 23 to leave.

Dozens of caravans and tents in protected area near Tyulenovo

In the protected area between Shabla Lighthouse and Tyulenovo, dozens of caravans and tents have been set up illegally. Local residents attribute the growth of wild camping to parking restrictions on the dunes at Krapets and Ezerets. The area is part of the Kaliakra Complex protected zone and Natura 2000. Starting October 1, a regulation will hold landowners responsible for illegal camping on their property. No candidates have applied to create a campsite in Dobrich Province.
