Paraná proposes regulating RVs and motorhomes: possible camping spots

A draft ordinance in Paraná's Deliberative Council aims to regulate tourism in RVs, motorhomes, campers, and travel trailers. The plan includes designating public areas for camping and overnight stays, equipping them with basic infrastructure (drinking water, electricity, toilets, showers, effluent treatment, waste management), and installing signage. Proposed camping sites include Camping Toma Nueva, the Botanical Park, and Nuevo Humberto Cayetano Varisco Park; overnight areas include Monumento a Urquiza, Plaza Mujeres Entrerrianas, Balneario Thompson, and Parque Urquiza. Users must register in advance, prove vehicle safety compliance, and pay a usage fee via the Mi Paraná app. Maximum stay is 7 business days in camping areas (one extension allowed) and 3 business days in overnight areas (one extension allowed). Violations may result in fines and vehicle removal.
