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.
