Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month.

"Many cried": Disbelief after permanent camping debacle

The Karlstein municipal council terminated all 360 permanent plots at the Weißsee lake in Großwelzheim, Bavaria, in August 2025, giving occupants until March 2026 to vacate. The decision, citing a need for 2.4 million euros to address critical safety issues in the aging infrastructure, has sparked protests and the formation of a citizens' initiative. While a similar scenario is not currently anticipated at the Mainflinger Badesee in Hessen, the situation is being closely monitored following a comparable termination in Wörth am Main.

Mecklenburg planning commission rejects RV campground application

The Mecklenburg County Planning Commission unanimously rejected a proposal for a 25-unit RV campground. The 16-acre project near Kerr Lake was subject to 40 conditions, including bans on generators and permanent structures. The denial followed strong community opposition citing traffic, noise, and existing camping alternatives in the area.
