Daejeon City has failed to secure a budget for its official 'urban car camping site' project, leaving it without any designated areas for the popular activity. The project, a mayoral pledge to build a 60-space site by the end of 2026 with a budget of 3.5 billion won, was omitted from the 2026 main budget, halting construction. This occurs as national demand surges and a revised Parking Lot Act has banned camping in public parking lots, forcing residents to camp illegally or travel to neighboring regions.
