The city of Gangneung, South Korea, has announced intensified inspections of public parking lots ahead of the holiday season. The measures are aimed at curbing the practice of leaving RVs and campers for extended periods on free municipal lots, causing inconvenience to other drivers. Illegal camping and cooking on the premises are also being targeted.
Starting May 11, 2026, checks will be conducted at six key parking areas, including those near beaches and tourist attractions. Violators risk vehicle towing and fines. Authorities urge RV owners to use six specially equipped campsites in the city's vicinity.
