On 27 July Germany checks motorhomes and trailers on the A31 and A30. Also: a diesel tax in Finland has left motorhomes parked up for most of the year.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.

A new caravan park with a capacity for 210 vehicles has opened in Kartepe's Dumlupınar neighborhood. The 11,500-square-meter facility features modern infrastructure, 24/7 security, and is designed for long-term stays.

Residents of the Riva neighborhood in Beykoz, Istanbul, are protesting the uncontrolled parking of dozens of caravans along the coastline and in forested areas. According to HaberTürk TV, about 50 caravans have occupied public spaces, causing noise and pollution. Locals say access to the shore is blocked and the area has turned into a shantytown. Caravan owners blame the lack of affordable, licensed caravan parks.
Rising accommodation costs in Turkey are driving tourists to choose caravans over hotels. In the Çukurova region and other resort areas, demand for caravan rentals has increased significantly this summer. A facility in Kemer, Antalya, offers fully equipped four-person caravans with air conditioning, TV, internet, kitchen equipment, and a private gazebo. The nightly rate is 2500 TL in July and August, and 2000 TL in September, regardless of the number of guests (up to four).
In the 2026 summer season, caravans have occupied public beaches and free parking lots along the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Marmara coasts, turning them into semi-permanent caravan neighborhoods. Local residents and day-trippers report lack of space, environmental pollution, and violation of the principle of public coastal access. The municipality of İznik ordered all caravans removed from public areas by July 20, 2026, threatening legal action. Turkish law distinguishes parking from camping: deploying awnings, furniture, or leaving waste constitutes illegal occupation.
Afyonkarahisar Municipality organizes a three-day family camping event from July 24 to 26 at the Afyon Motor Sports Center. Participation is via donation to the Mehmetçik Vakfı fund; breakfasts and dinners are provided by the municipality.
