The municipality of Schliersee has approved a concept to regulate motorhome tourism. Six parking sites with varying service levels are planned, costing between 12 and 25 euros per 24 hours. Investments range from 1,000 to 40,000 euros per site, with an expected payback period of five years.
The SPD in Mammendorf criticized the new pricing for the motorhome parking lot at the Freizeitpark as socially unacceptable, but the district council rejected the amendment with a vote of 9 to 3. Since 2025, the overnight fee changed from a flat €15 per motorhome to €10 per night plus per-person charges: €10 for adults, €8 for youth, with free pool entry included. The original flat rate had led to up to eight people per vehicle. The parking lot was originally intended for group leaders.
