Rise of camper van travel in Bulgaria
Original source: bnrnews.bg

An increasing number of Bulgarians are choosing camper van travel over traditional hotel holidays, according to Dimitar Peev, who rents out camper vans. Travelers value the flexibility to change routes spontaneously and stay closer to nature. Modern camper vans come equipped with beds, kitchens, heating, and refrigerators, making the experience accessible even for beginners through rentals. Regulations on wild camping in Bulgaria and neighboring countries are gradually being clarified.
