Waidring, Camping Steinplatte: Mayor understands concerns of seasonal campers

The new operator of Camping Steinplatte in Waidring (Tyrol) will stop renewing contracts with seasonal (annual) campers from autumn 2026/2027. Mayor Georg Hochfilzer stated that this is a business decision the municipality cannot influence, and expressed understanding for the concerns of long-term guests who have supported the local economy for years. The campsite will focus exclusively on short-term rentals in the future.

"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.

Farmers as Camping Operators: 'No, We Don't Drive a Ferrari to Work Yet'

Farmers around the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg run campsites for Formula 1 guests. Karl Maier, owner of 'Campingplatz Rot' and spokesperson for an initiative of 15 families, described the scale: on peak weekends, up to 40,000 visitors camp on 30 sites. After the chaos of 2014, operators upgraded infrastructure — electricity, sewage, roads. Maier denied rumors of millionaire incomes, stating profits are reinvested into the sites.
