Several camper and caravan fires have occurred in the Netherlands in recent months, with incidents in Veenendaal, Melderslo, Herpen, Egmond aan Zee, and Arnhem.

Several caravans have been completely destroyed by fire in the Netherlands and Belgium in recent months. Causes remain unknown in most cases.
A fire at the Schieweg industrial estate in Delft destroyed the belongings of Jan van Drunen (77). His boat and truck trailer were engulfed in flames, and his caravan was written off. Van Drunen was uninsured, as insurers reportedly refuse to cover fairground workers, classifying them as caravan dwellers. His son bought him a second-hand caravan, but it lacks shower and water. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Camping De Kleine Wereld in Onnen, Groningen, is fully booked with 400 guests currently staying. The campsite has existed in its current form for two years and is located on the site of former Camping De Fruitberg, which operated until 2000, and from 2013 to 2017 was used by the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA). Owners Bas van Engeland and his wife Elsemieke have transformed the area into a place for young families.
Dethleffs has added two new dealers in the Netherlands: Linberg Caravan Centrum in Molenschot (West Brabant) and CCR in Lemmer (Friesland). The first caravans are now on display. Linberg has been in business since 1968, while CCR sells Laika and Etrusco motorhomes and plans to expand.
In the Netherlands, parking a caravan or motorhome on a public road for more than three days can result in a fine of 130 euros plus 9 euros in administrative costs, totaling 139 euros. The rule applies in most municipalities, though the exact time limit is set by local regulations. Parking on private property is subject to different rules, and violations may lead to more expensive penalties.
