Bulgarian company unveils 7.2-meter motorhome

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.

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.

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.

The administration of the Bulgarian municipality of Tsarevo stated that no camping will be built behind Butamyata beach near the village of Sinemorets. The plots are designated only for temporary placement of tents, campers and caravans under national regulations.

In the Bulgarian village of Sinemorets, a dispute continues over the lease of plots near Butamyata Beach for campers and caravans. The investor company claims there will be no permanent construction, aiming to combat unorganized camping. Environmentalists have found violations, while the municipality insists on the tender's legality.
