Public parking lots in South Korea's Gangwon Province are overwhelmed by long-term parking of campers and caravans. Despite designated areas, vehicles occupy general spaces. Local authorities admit that current measures are ineffective, even though they have legal grounds for towing.
The number of camping visitors in the country rose from 5.38 million in 2019 to 7 million in 2024. Proposed solutions include introducing parking fees and expanding special parking zones.
