Despite rising fuel costs and campsite fees, camping holidays remain one of the more affordable options. The average overnight cost at a campsite in Germany is 40 euros, and 52 euros in Europe, which is lower than hotel prices. Prices at popular locations in Germany have increased by 28% since 2020, but savings can be achieved by traveling off-season or choosing less expensive regions.

Rising costs for camping and motorhome travel in 2026

The cost of motorhome and caravan travel has increased significantly in 2026, primarily due to fuel and campsite prices. Diesel is the largest single expense, while overnight prices at popular coastal sites have risen by almost 28% since 2020, averaging around 40 euros per night. This has shifted traveler demand to nearby destinations and cooled the market for new vehicle sales.

Cartagena approves El Limonar motorhome eco-area project and sends file to regional government

The local government board of Cartagena has approved the proposal to support the processing of the El Limonar motorhome eco-area in Los Nietos, considering that the necessary requirements are met to continue the exceptional authorization procedure on non-urbanizable land. The project, promoted by Eco Área Caravanas El Limonar SL, includes 229 motorhome pitches on a 68,285 square meter site, with an investment of over 1.8 million euros and 18 direct jobs. During the public information period, nine objections were filed questioning the public interest, potential impact on the Mar Menor, and risk of hidden urbanization; the final decision rests with the regional government, which will request sectoral reports and conduct an environmental impact assessment.

Developer seeks permit for motorhome campsite near Rambla Salada in Albatera

A developer has applied to the regional government for a declaration of community interest (DIC) to build a campsite for motorhomes and camper vans in La Dehesa de Albatera. The 9,339-square-meter plot, on non-developable land, would include 48 pitches, capacity for 144 people, a pool, bar, and green area. The project requires a lengthy administrative process because the land is classified as common non-urbanizable, with the final decision resting with the regional government. The site is in a zone with geomorphological flood risk, which could affect approval.
