Turkish authorities have banned unauthorized caravan parking and tent camping in public spaces. According to sources, the new rules take effect on April 1, 2026.
The ban applies to parking caravans and setting up tents outside officially licensed campsites. The decision was made due to problems with litter, health risks and fire safety. Violators face fines, and their vehicles or tents will be removed by authorities, including police and municipal forces.
One source specifies that the ban concerns the city of Didim, while others refer to a nationwide measure. It is therefore possible that the restrictions apply both nationally and specifically to Didim.
