Caravans in residential parking lots in Ploiești: the law and why no one enforces it
Original source: Observatorul Prahovean

In Ploiești, two local regulations (HCL No. 253/2021 and HCL No. 96/2009) explicitly prohibit parking caravans on public property, including residential areas and sidewalks. However, in 2025–2026, SGU Ploiești did not tow a single caravan because the police never issued such orders. As a result, despite the ban, caravans continue to occupy parking spaces in front of apartment buildings.

Camping rules in Romania: where to pitch a tent or park a caravan

Romania enforces strict camping regulations, with fines up to 6000 lei for violations. In mountain protected areas, camping is allowed only in designated spots; in the Danube Delta, a permit is required; and on beaches, tent installation is banned. For caravans, parking does not permit setting up camp—extending an awning or outdoor furniture is prohibited. Tourists should check local rules in advance and avoid private land without owner consent.
