Cameron County's Isla Blanca Park RV campground improvements have a contractual completion date of 5 December 2026, but officials have not announced when the interior campground will reopen. The current construction contract totals $12,158,919.89. The project covers upgrades to the campground's electrical, water and sanitary sewer systems. Benjamin L. Worsham, Cameron County Director of Transportation and County Engineer, said the county does not anticipate reopening the interior RV sites in phases because the utilities are interconnected. About 43 RV sites outside the park entrance are operational, with winter reservations opened on 15 September 2026.

Servia mayor Christos Eleftheriou announced on social media the municipal authority's plans to develop the lakeside area, starting with the redevelopment of Roditi beach. The first step is a study for the beach redevelopment combined with the creation of parking spaces for motorhomes (campers) to boost tourism. According to the mayor, studies for the redevelopment of Neraida square and the use of the Neraida primary school site will follow. Eleftheriou noted the municipality's limited financial resources and what he described as limited support from central government, but said the authority is proceeding with its own resources. He also expressed hope that the region and central administration will contribute substantially to developing the lakeside area.

The motorhome stopover at Salzgittersee reopened in early November 2026 under the management of Camping-Car Park after a temporary closure and modernisation. The site, established in 2009, received its first comprehensive infrastructure upgrade, including a new supply and disposal station. Access is automated around the clock, and pitches can be researched and booked via the Camping-Car Park app and website. There are 20 pitches available at 16,- EUR per night per motorhome. Camping-Car Park operates a network of more than 800 stopovers across six European countries.

Five holiday parks in Norfolk have been recognised as among the best in the UK and joined the Premier Parks collection. Applewood Countryside Park in Banham, Clippesby Hall on the Broads, Cobbleacre Park in Hevingham, Kelling Heath Holiday Park near Weybourne and Woodhill Park at East Runton received the status. They join around 100 campsites and touring parks across the UK, assessed on facilities, pitches, landscaping, setting and nearby attractions. Clippesby Hall, a 34-acre woodland site owned by the Lindsay family since the 1960s, hosted Gemma Collins and Jedward in October. Kelling Heath covers 300 acres of woodland and heathland, while Cobbleacre is family-run and has five fishing lakes.

Mont-roig del Camp has opened the free Les Creus public motorhome stopover with 16 pitches, two for people with reduced mobility. Stays are limited to 48 hours in summer and 72 hours at other times.

Two touring parks in Rutland have been included in Premier Parks' collection of the best UK campsites and touring parks, which brings together around 100 venues. Rutland Caravan and Camping at Greetham and Stretton Lakes near Oakham were selected following site inspections that assessed pitches, facilities, landscaping, setting and nearby attractions. Stretton Lakes is set within 120 acres of farmland, has 40 lakeside touring pitches and holds VisitEngland Five Star Gold status. Rutland Caravan and Camping offers separate family and adults-only areas, along with an indoor swimming pool.

Construction of a new motorhome stopover is under way in the Annunziata area of Villanova Mondovì, along the road to Prato Nevoso and Artesina. The project by architect Stefano Gerion has a total budget of 75,000 euros. The site will hold about ten vehicles and includes essential water filling and emptying services. Work is nearing completion, weather permitting. The stopover was moved from an initial location in the craft estate to the former bocce courts of the Acli club Amici dell’Annunziata.

Vezza d’Alba in Piedmont has opened a new motorhome stopover and a renovated viewpoint at the Rocca. Both were presented on 8 November as part of the “Vezza a 360°” project.

A planning application has been submitted to South Norfolk Council to expand a glamping site near Wymondham. The scheme seeks retrospective permission for two caravans and approval for two more on land near Low Street in Wicklewood. The four-unit site would occupy about 9,800 square metres of former grazing land and paddocks and could accommodate up to 16 guests. Neighbours have objected over noise, traffic, drainage and the impact on the rural landscape. South Norfolk Council will decide on the application.

In Etel, Morbihan, the motorhome stopover at the municipal La Falaise campsite now operates around the clock during the winter season thanks to an automatic barrier. In partnership with Qipeo, the municipality installed an automatic barrier and a payment terminal so motorhomers can arrive, pay and settle in independently at any time. The site has 130 pitches, some on grass, shaded or suitable for large vehicles. A stay costs €12.60 per 24 hours, including waste disposal, water and electricity. Payment is by card at the terminal, reservations are not possible, and the site has video surveillance, night lighting and Wi-Fi. For the rest of the year, the stopover operates with the campsite's usual reception.

South Street Partners has announced it is developing the first purpose-built Camp Margaritaville RV Resort on a 54-acre site in Brunswick. The land was acquired in an off-market transaction in March 2025, and the property has advanced through pre-development and design stages to shovel-ready status. The plan now calls for 340 pads, an increase from the original 270 envisioned at acquisition.

The Tenerife Cabildo approved on 7 October 2026 a modification to its contract with the public company Gesplan worth €743,275.36. The contract term was extended to 30 September 2027. The plan includes removing 52 wooden cabins, restoring the land they occupy and temporarily allocating part of the site for motorhome parking until improvement works begin. The document does not specify a start date for the parking area or the number of spaces. In 2017 the project presentation mentioned 46 cabins.

A campsite is planned at the Seebad in Rheinsberg. The project has the backing of city politicians, but one aspect could prevent it from going ahead. CDU politician Günter Steffens is behind the proposal. The site behind the Seebad is considered suitable for the campsite.

Gimcheon has completed a forest campsite with 20 pitches, 12 for tents and 8 for caravans. It opens for a one-month trial on 13 November, with the official opening set for January 2027.

The commune of Les Riceys has been developing a premium motorhome stopover project since 2023 on disused land that once held campsites and football pitches. Around 30 pitches of 100 to 200 sq m are planned for large motorhomes, with shaded plots and services. The aim is to raise the average stay from one day to four. The site may be run by European operator Camping-Car Park, with profits split 66% to the commune and 33% to the operator. Work is expected to start in spring 2027, subject to a review of investment costs and obtaining subsidies.

Two adults-only touring parks in Powys have been added to the Premier Parks collection after site assessments. Red Kite Touring and Lodge Park in Llanidloes covers 20 acres and has 62 fully serviced touring pitches. Daisy Bank Caravan Park near Montgomery is set across seven acres overlooking the Camlad Valley and marked 20 years under its current owners in 2026. The collection brings together around 100 campsites and touring parks across the UK, with sites assessed on pitches, facilities, landscaping and setting. Modelling from 2024 puts the number of full-time equivalent jobs supported by tourism in Powys at 11,769.

Deer's Mead, a caravan park and campsite near the village of Erpingham in north Norfolk, will remain open all year round for the first time. The site previously closed annually from November to February. The park, which is exclusively for guests aged 18 and over, is part of the Deer's Glade Leisure group. That group includes two holiday parks, a wild camping meadow and 200 acres of farmland. Deer's Mead is a sister site of Deer's Glade, a family holiday park in Hanworth. The park was formerly known as Little Haven before it opened in 2014 after a complete refurbishment and name change.

Plassey Holiday Park in Eyton, Wrexham, has been named a Premier Parks site following an inspection. It was named the UK's Best Family Campsite in 2025 by Campsites.co.uk and holds a five-star rating from Visit Wales. The Plassey Estate has been owned by the Brookshaw family since 1960 and covers 250 acres. Premier Parks brings together about 100 campsites and touring parks across the UK. Wrexham's visitor economy contributed £191 million in 2024, with 2.07 million visitors.

Bendorf's town council voted by a large majority to designate an area of around 2,700 square metres at the rear of the open-air pool for a motorhome stopover. The administration has been tasked with checking planning, construction and operational requirements and drawing up a usage concept, including noise and nature protection issues. The FDP council group had campaigned for the project since 2013, with Herbert Speyerer and Günther Bomm pushing it for 13 years.

A planning application has been lodged with South Norfolk Council for three glamping pods at the Field of Dreams site in Toft Monks, near Beccles. The site already has retrospective permission, granted in 2025, for five touring caravan or motorhome pitches. Applicant Colin Childs of NSC Enterprises also seeks approval for landscaping, parking and access works. A biodiversity report states the pods would occupy part of the existing caravan site and that net gain can be achieved through habitat improvements. The earlier caravan and motorhome plans drew objections over traffic safety on narrow rural lanes.
