Romania enforces strict camping regulations, with fines up to 6000 lei for violations. In mountain protected areas, camping is allowed only in designated spots; in the Danube Delta, a permit is required; and on beaches, tent installation is banned. For caravans, parking does not permit setting up camp—extending an awning or outdoor furniture is prohibited. Tourists should check local rules in advance and avoid private land without owner consent.

The largest festival of campervans, motorhomes and caravans in Eastern Europe took place in Râșnov, Romania. It attracted dozens of families and hundreds of nature lovers. Romania has about 40,000 such vehicles.
Magnifico Caravans, a company based in Bucharest, rented a motorhome to a man for a trip to southern Romania, including the coast and the Danube Delta. After the rental period ended on June 1, 2026, the renter stopped communicating and the GPS tracker was disabled. It was later discovered he had sublet the vehicle to others. The company reported the theft to police and posted on social media.
Romania now has 184 certified campsites, boosting motorhome tourism. Over a thousand camper owners share tips on routes and new destinations. The main advantage of such trips is spontaneity, with basic camping gear starting at €3,000. However, tourists note cleanliness issues in some campsites and difficulty parking motorhomes off-season.
