Fires at Limburg campsite and in Apeldoorn: arson suspected
Original source: Nationale Recreatiegids

In Brief

Two separate fires destroyed caravans and a camper in Belgium and the Netherlands. Police suspect arson in both incidents.

Fire at De Kasteelse Bossen campsite

On the night from Saturday to Sunday, several caravans burned down completely at the De Kasteelse Bossen campsite in Melderslo (Limburg, Belgium). The entire campsite was evacuated, dozens of guests left their pitches. Several people were examined by medics for possible smoke inhalation; no hospitalisation was needed. Part of the area has been cordoned off as a crime scene, and police are investigating possible arson.

Fire in Apeldoorn

On the night from Thursday to Friday, a small camper caught fire on Landgoedlaan in Apeldoorn (Netherlands). Firefighters found the vehicle fully engulfed in flames; it could not be saved. Police do not rule out arson and are conducting an investigation. The camper will be towed later.

Utrecht prepares for summer holidays, but 'big rush is yet to come'

Camping De Boomgaard in Bunnik is gradually filling up with holidaymakers, though the peak is expected after schools close on Friday. The campsite owner notes that more Dutch people are choosing to stay in the Netherlands due to warm weather. At a storage facility in Maarssen, preparations are underway for a mass exodus: most campers and caravans are being picked up on Monday and Tuesday.

Scan car in Maastricht also fines caravans

In Maastricht, automated scan cars issue penalty assessments not only for unpaid parking of cars but also for caravans. The Maastricht van NU party has received complaints and wants the rules reviewed, proposing an exemption for caravans, folding trailers and campers. Politician Jo Smeets noted that caravan owners cannot obtain a parking permit because trailers often have a different license plate, and even if the plate matches but the caravan is not attached to the car, separate payment is required. The party suggests allowing free parking of a caravan in front of a home for up to three days.
