Camping Boom Returns — Record Attendance at Trade Show

Camping Halland, an organisation representing campsites in Halland, says that the number of motorhome parking spots does not match the rapid increase in motorhomes on the roads. In 2025, new motorhome registrations in Sweden rose by 46% year-on-year, while Germany adds over a million motorhomes annually. Chairman Bo Andreasson warns that conflicts are already increasing and expects even more tourists after the Fehmarn Belt tunnel opens in the early 2030s.

On road 55 between Norrsta and Knäppinge interchange towards Norrköping, a motorhome collided with a moose, killing the animal. Two people were involved; injuries are unconfirmed. The vehicle blocked the roadway and requires recovery. The alarm was received at 00:16 on Thursday, and traffic is expected to be affected until about 01:00.

On July 15, 2026, a caravan detached from its tow hitch at the Gullviks beach parking lot in Domsjö. The caravan rolled into several parked cars before coming to a stop. No injuries were reported.

At Skateholm campsite in Beddingestrand, the Scherman family has spent summers since the 1970s. Three generations occupy pitches 94, 95 and 96 in their own caravans, living as neighbours. Sweden is experiencing a camping boom.

On the evening of July 14, 2026, a motorhome caught fire while driving in Söderhamn, Sweden. Emergency services responded to the scene. Traffic on road 652 was affected in both directions.
