Law 66/2021, which amends the rules on parking, overnight stays and stopping of motorhomes in Portugal, came into force on January 1, 2026. The document prohibits overnight stays and parking of motorhomes in Natura 2000 areas, protected areas and coastal zones, except in designated locations. In other areas, overnight stays are allowed for a maximum of 48 hours in the same municipality, unless local regulations specify otherwise. Fines for violations range from €60 to €300, and from €120 to €600 in protected areas.
