In Brief

In Romania, illegal camping in mountains, the Danube Delta, and on the coast can result in fines up to 6,000 lei. Camping is only allowed in designated areas, and setting up tents on beaches and in nature reserves is prohibited.

Romania has introduced strict rules for setting up tents and caravans, with fines up to 6,000 lei for violations. Camping is only permitted in designated areas.

Where it is forbidden

  • In mountain reserves — only in designated zones.
  • In the Danube Delta — a permit is required.
  • On beaches — setting up tents is prohibited.
  • Motorhome owners are not allowed to camp outside campsites and parking areas: parking does not mean setting up camp, and extending an awning or placing furniture is forbidden.

Tourists are advised to check the rules of the specific area in advance and avoid private land without the owner's consent.

Caravan owners in Darıca protest mandatory paid parking

Authorities in Darıca district, Kocaeli province, have mandated caravan owners to use a paid parking lot in Millet Bahçesi park.
