Wildfire damage to caravans and campers: will you get compensation?

Due to large wildfires in Southern Europe, which have led to the evacuation of about 200,000 people, owners of caravans and campers may receive compensation for damage only if they have the appropriate insurance. Caravan damage is covered by a caravan insurance policy if taken out; for a camper, mandatory insurance covers damage depending on the policy. Tents are usually covered under the baggage section of travel insurance. Evacuation and alternative accommodation are covered by travel insurance, but voluntary early return is not reimbursed.

Fire in Delft destroys property of 77-year-old caravan owner

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 Groningen fully booked with guests

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).

Fine for parking a caravan on the street longer than allowed in the Netherlands in 2026

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.
