Motorhome overflow in Vall de Boí: four temporary parking areas opened

The coincidence of the Fallas festival, the Garmin Mountain Festival, and cross-country and paragliding events caused an influx of motorhomes and camper vans in Vall de Boí. The municipality exceptionally set up four additional parking zones, including near the football field where parking is normally banned. Overnight stays with awnings and furniture are only allowed at the Pla de l’Ermita lot (30 spaces); other lots permit only compact parking. The episode highlights the growth of motorhome tourism in Lleida: the number of dedicated motorhome spaces in the province rose from 11 in 2022 to 6,739 in 2023.

Instead of a hotel: campsite and cabins for Wexl-Trails

A new forest campsite with 43 pitches opens in St. Corona am Wechsel, Austria, as the planned 3-star hotel project is postponed due to lack of an operator. The mountain bike resort invested €500,000 in the development. Expansion to 93 pitches and the first wooden chalets are planned for 2027–2028. Visitor numbers are boosted by a second lift and inclusion in the Gravity Card network.

Moray holiday park expansion approved despite objections

Plans to add 21 static caravans at Silver Sands Holiday Park in Lossiemouth, Moray, have been approved by planning officers, overriding 18 objections from residents and caravan owners. Critics cited strain on amenities like the swimming pool and clubhouse, as well as environmental concerns about coastal dunes. Officials ruled most objections as non-material to planning, noting the development is on grassland, not dunes, and that internal road management is a private matter for the operator.

Camping site plan resubmitted with fence to keep campers off canal bank

Chris Huxley has resubmitted a planning application for a camping site on the outskirts of Whitchurch, at Grindley Brook, on land behind Hotel Farm. The proposal includes 10 tent pitches, 10 seasonal pitches, and 10 touring pitches for motorhomes and caravans, along with toilet and shower facilities and a sewage treatment plant. The previous application was withdrawn after Shropshire Council’s highways team raised concerns about access and the Canal and River Trust required a 10-metre buffer from the canal to protect riparian habitat for water voles and otters. The revised plan adds a low-level fence along the canal bank to deter campers from walking onto it and provides updated access details with visibility splays and swept-path analysis.

All are within a 15-minute walk from the city center. A dedicated area for motorhomes is available on Chemin du Pouyou, with an additional zone near Béjui in La Chapelle-de-la-Tour.

Kelowna council approves fee for soon-to-open RV sani-dump, questions low rate

Kelowna City Council unanimously approved a $10 fee for the new city-operated RV sanitary dump station, set to open next month on Crowley Avenue. Payment will be via a pay-by-phone app, with fines for non-compliance tied to license plates. The $210,000 facility, included in this year's budget, is expected to recover only 20–50% of costs, prompting some council members to question the low fee.
