Wild camping near Tyulenovo: protected area fills with caravans and tents
Original source: Gospodari.com

In Brief

Dozens of caravans and tents have gathered in the protected area 'Kaliakra Complex' near Tyulenovo. Locals complain about litter; campers cite lack of campsites. New regulations take effect October 1.

In the locality of Malko More, between Shabla Lighthouse and Tyulenovo (Bulgaria), dozens of caravans and tents have gathered. The area is part of the protected zone 'Kaliakra Complex' (within Natura 2000). Unregulated camping has existed for a long time, but this season it has expanded.

According to locals, the reason is parking restrictions on the dunes at Krapets and Ezerets beaches. Complaints concern litter, wet wipes, diapers, and food waste, especially on weekends. Campers admit their stay is illegal but claim they clean up after themselves and point to a lack of equipped campsites in Bulgaria.

Starting October 1, a regulation on wild camping comes into force, making landowners responsible as well. In Dobrich Province, no applications for new campsites have been submitted. Control over the protected area is carried out by RIOSV. Additionally, more than 100 illegal caravans were reported on Pasha dere beach near Varna.

The Varna Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water (RIOSV) has identified violations of environmental legislation during inspections of caravans, campers and temporary structures near Pasha Dere. The inspections took place in August 2026 in the coastal area of Pasha Dere beach (village of Bliznatsi, Avren municipality) and in the Asparuhovo district of Varna. The number and type of violations were not specified; authorities are taking steps to identify those responsible. The checks followed a large-scale operation in which more than 50 caravans, tents, canopies and vehicles were found in the forest fund above the beach, with notices for voluntary removal issued by 23 August.

A camper towing a trailer overturned after being hit from the side by a truck in central Haskovo. The crash occurred around 2:15 p.m. at the intersection of Bulgaria and Osvobozhdenie boulevards. The Renault truck, with Ruse license plates, failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the camper, which had the right of way. No injuries were reported; both drivers tested negative for alcohol. Traffic was disrupted for about an hour until the camper was righted and loaded onto a flatbed.

The regional administration in Lovech has announced steps to remove all illegal structures near the Sopot Reservoir. An inspection found violations involving unauthorized construction and placement of caravans in the reservoir's basin. Administrative and practical procedures will follow the analysis of the results. The reservoir is located near the village of Golyama Zhelyazna, about 30 km northwest of Troyan.

An illegal campsite with caravans, a children's corner and a barbecue has been set up on the shore of the Yovkovtsi reservoir near the village of Shilkovtsi, Bulgaria. The site is located in the sanitary protection zone of the reservoir, posing a threat to the water quality used by nine municipalities. Following inspections by the Elena municipality and the Veliko Tarnovo regional governor, violations were found. Authorities are preparing an order for the removal of the illegal structures, with forced demolition if necessary.
