The summer of 2026 in Seine-Maritime has seen a rise in unauthorized caravan encampments. Since June 1, authorities have recorded 88 illegal installations, with 38 in the Dieppe area, 30 around Rouen, and 20 in the Le Havre basin. In Varengeville-sur-Mer, an occupation involving about 80 families caused local tensions. The state has issued 23 orders to leave. Official sites, designed for 450 vehicles, were overwhelmed, hosting over 600 caravans in recent weeks.

British couple Freya Gill and Charlie Thackwray moved into a caravan on Charlie's mother's property to save on rent. Over time, they saved about 24,000 euros toward buying land for a house and farm. They currently pay 180 euros monthly for land rent, 65 euros for fuel, 155 euros for financing, and 420 euros for food, while using solar panels to cut costs. The couple plans to live in the caravan for another year until they raise enough funds.

Seb and Sandrine Niot from Amiens sold their garage and moved with their two children into a converted bus. In 2026, they took over an Onlycamp campsite in the Haut-Jura, where they opened a restaurant. A pool is planned for 2027. The family is considering managing a campsite in the US during the winter season.
