South Moravian campsites expand as caravan demand grows
Original source: www.denik.cz

Camp operators in South Moravia are responding to increased demand from caravanners, a trend that has persisted since the COVID-19 pandemic. At Vranovská pláž, 21 new pitches have been added, each about 100 square meters, with electricity, grey water disposal, and Wi-Fi. The campsite in Strážnice has over 300 pitches, so no reservation is needed, but a project is underway to build larger, more luxurious pitches with electricity, drinking water, and grey water disposal. There is also a trend toward shorter stays and a longer season, with some campsites open until October. Operators are automating processes, including reception, due to difficulties in hiring seasonal workers. Prices have mostly remained unchanged, except for services requiring manual labor, such as cleaning cabins.

The camp in Strážnice (South Moravia) has more than 300 caravan pitches, allowing guests to arrive without a reservation, unlike many other camps. Operators report growing demand for caravanning since the COVID-19 pandemic and are adapting infrastructure: adding electricity, Wi-Fi, grey water disposal, and planning larger, more luxurious pitches with water supply. The season is lengthening – some camps open as early as Easter and stay open until October. To cope with labor shortages, automated reception systems and vending machines are being introduced.

US manufacturer Modern Buggy has introduced the compact travel trailer Country Born CB14, designed for short outdoor trips. The caravan, about 5 meters long and weighing up to 1.5 tons, can be towed by a mid-size SUV. The interior is split into a sleeping area and a separate kitchen, with a cassette toilet located by the entrance next to the beds, separated only by a curtain. Prices in the US start from approximately $13,000 to $15,000.

The Czech market sees growing demand for micro-campers — compact vans with fold-out sleeping areas that replace full-size motorhomes. The new VW Caddy California starts at 881,235 CZK, while the classic VW California starts at 1.6 million CZK. The price difference ranges from 720,000 to 1.22 million crowns. Options include the factory-built Caddy California, the VANDERER Two module (from €28,999), and the removable Camperkit box (€2,590). These vehicles require a B driving license and lack fixed toilets or showers, increasing reliance on campsites.

A caravan owner in Pilsen noticed open windows on his locked trailer parked at a dusty lot near Velký rybník and alerted municipal police. Officers found a 43-year-old man sleeping inside, who admitted to staying there for four days because he had nowhere else to go. The owner said nothing was stolen or damaged, but police are investigating the incident as a potential crime.

On Czech Radio Hradec Králové, Pavel Bartoš from Hobbytňák.cz discussed the specifics of motorhome travel. He stated that a standard B driving license is sufficient, and drivers adapt to the vehicle's dimensions within a few kilometers. Overnight stops at gas stations are allowed if campers do not set up awnings or chairs, and a comfortable cruising speed is around 110 km/h.
