German family in camper van rescued after incident in inaccessible area

The District Prosecutor's Office in Burgas has found violations in the lease of municipal plots near Butamyata Beach in Sinemorets for caravans and campers. The Tsarevo municipality insists on the legality of the decisions; the final ruling is expected in court.

The young company HIP Campers from Sofia has presented a 7.2-meter motorhome. The model is designed for modern travelers and features high-quality finishing. The new vehicle has attracted attention in the industry.

Bulgarian startup HIP Campers has introduced the HIP 4Family motorhome, 7.2 meters long, designed for family use. The model features two separate sleeping areas for children and parents, a kitchen with a 125×60 cm countertop and a 141-liter fridge, and a spacious bathroom. Total storage capacity is 2,780 liters. The base version costs €150,000, the Maxi version €160,000, and the Supreme version €200,000.

A public debate has erupted in Sinemorets over the future of the area near Butamyata beach. Tsarevo Municipality denied rumors of a new campsite, clarifying that the site, located within Strandzha Nature Park, is designated only for temporary placement of tents, motorhomes, and caravans. The investor, PEPE.BG, pledges no concrete will be poured, existing sanitary facilities will be used, and vegetation preserved. Operations have not yet started pending approvals from health, fire, and environmental authorities.

In Sinemorets, Bulgaria, a paid parking area for campervans has been introduced in the forest behind Butamyata beach as of 2026. Previously, this area was used for free wild camping. Now only motorhomes and campervans are allowed, with the fee not disclosed.

The municipality of Tsarevo conducted a second review of a controversial tender that leased 35 decares near Butamyata for 3 years as a campsite for €6,700 per year. The review again ignored the family ties of the only bidders — a mother and son — and deemed the competition lawful. The mother deliberately failed to meet conditions to drop out, leaving the plot to her son. The Regional Environmental Inspectorate found violations on site: the company 'Pepe.bg' started work without permission, facing a fine and suspension of activities.
