Residents of Saint-Martin-de-Londres (Hérault department) have launched a petition against a project to build a 27-space motorhome parking area on the site of a former football stadium. Opponents cite the loss of a free public space for sports and recreation, as well as environmental concerns including soil sealing and the plot's location in a flood zone. The mayor estimates the potential revenue at €178,000 per season and states the surface will be permeable with partially grassed pitches.

Residents and users of the caravan park at the Domaine provincial de Chevetogne in Belgium have launched a petition against an annual fee increase from €1,594.32 excluding VAT to €2,152.00 excluding VAT, effective January 1, 2027. They argue the hike of over 35% is unjustified given deteriorating infrastructure and services. Demands include freezing the increase, formal consultations, and a renovation plan.

Noise from a caravan air conditioner can be classified as abnormal neighborhood disturbance. The French Public Health Code categorizes such noise as behavioral, with maximum permissible exceedance of background noise of 5 dB(A) during the day and 3 dB(A) at night. At distances under 10 meters, exceeding the nighttime threshold is almost automatic. First step is dialogue with the neighbor, then contacting the campsite manager, who is contractually obligated to enforce nighttime quiet. Repeated violations can lead to police intervention with fines up to €450 and possible confiscation of the device.

Campbellton, New Brunswick, will increase the number of seasonal lots at its waterfront RV park to a maximum of 37 in 2027, after some campers were turned away this summer. Currently, 30-32 of the 86 sites are used by seasonal campers. Seasonal rates range from C$2,000 to C$2,200 depending on the site, while daily rates vary from C$39.28 in the low season to C$61.89 at peak. A committee will be formed to oversee park operations, including site allocation and staffing.

An Alberta Employment Standards Appeal Body has rejected a worker's overtime claim against an Edson, Alta., RV park, finding his account of working 12-hour days, seven days a week not credible. The appeal by 1701104 Alberta Ltd., owner of Edson RV Park & Campground, overturned a July 2025 order for $22,230 in overtime, $3,225 in wages, $681 in vacation pay, and $1,107.86 in general holiday pay. The worker, employed from October 2023 to August 2024 as a 'park supervisor' or 'park manager,' performed mostly janitorial and maintenance duties, which the body said did not qualify as managerial.

The Gitmaxmak'ay Nisga'a Prince Rupert/Port Edward Society has completed the purchase of the Prince Rupert RV Campground on Park Avenue. The deal closed on Sept. 4. CEO Brandon Haldane called the acquisition the Society's largest investment to date, roughly five times larger than previous ones. Existing tenants will not be evicted and rental rates will not change. The Society plans to rename the property Anjoḵ, a Nisga'a word for a camping place, and incorporate Nisga'a cultural elements into signage and improvements.

A new campground in southwestern Nova Scotia offers visitors access to backcountry areas. Located near Lower Stave Lake, the campground opened on June 30. By August, over 30 bookings had been made, drawing visitors from across the province. Rates are $40-$45 per night. Amenities include outhouses, but no water on site, so visitors must bring their own. The campground also serves as a pilot for future projects, including cabin and yurt rentals.
