The Ruidera city council has amended the regulations for its motorhome area, adding new categories of very serious infractions. These include identity fraud in the traveler registry to exceed maximum stay periods or avoid fees. Penalties include a ban on access for up to six months for serious violations and up to one year for very serious ones. The change follows an incident where a person attempted to register as a resident in the area and use it as permanent housing.

Residents denounce chaotic motorhome parking at Lagunas de Ruidera

Residents and visitors of the Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park have reported uncontrolled parking of motorhomes outside designated areas. According to them, up to ten or more vehicles often park close to the forest and road, violating safety distances. Instances of littering and organic waste, as well as risks to pedestrians due to proximity to traffic, have been noted. Complaints highlight a lack of enforcement by environmental agents and the Civil Guard, especially during holidays and weekends.

Lagunas de Ruidera suffer motorhome saturation: 18-space area fills up, rest end up in prohibited zones

The Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park in Castilla-La Mancha is again facing a problem with mass motorhome arrivals. During the May bank holiday, as at Easter, drivers park outside the authorised area, which has only 18 spaces. Mayor Josefa Moreno said she has contacted the Civil Guard to monitor and fine illegal parking. An alternative site at the Peñarroya reservoir (15–20 km away) remains available, but tourists prefer to stay in the village.
