Violators face a €600 fine, reduced to €300 if paid on the spot; refusal to pay results in vehicle seizure by police.

Legal overnight options include campsites and designated areas, with an updated list available from the tourism office.

Diesel prices rose from 1.80 to 2.49 euros per liter in the Netherlands.

The number of caravans has decreased from 624 to 588 over five years, while the average empty caravan weight is 1,065 kg, below the national average of 1,102 kg.

For four-person camping, the Essentiel pack (€2,500) adds a lower bed (117×192 cm), a 27-litre compressor fridge, and a 2,000 W diesel heater, bringing the price to €49,400. The Premium pack (€50,650) includes a kitchen, 100 W solar panel, and awning. Hanroad does not publish kerb weight or payload, which is critical when carrying seven occupants.
