In the 2026 summer season, caravans have occupied public beaches and free parking lots along the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Marmara coasts, turning them into semi-permanent caravan neighborhoods. Local residents and day-trippers report lack of space, environmental pollution, and violation of the principle of public coastal access. The municipality of İznik ordered all caravans removed from public areas by July 20, 2026, threatening legal action. Turkish law distinguishes parking from camping: deploying awnings, furniture, or leaving waste constitutes illegal occupation.
Afyonkarahisar Municipality organizes a Family Tent and Caravan Camping event from July 24 to 26 at the Afyon Motor Sports Center. Proceeds will be donated to the Mehmetçik Vakfı foundation.
