Original source: Kursiv Media Казахстан

Astana has opened the first official motorhome campsite in Kazakhstan. Located in the Zhetysu park, the opening on April 25 coincided with a caravanners' rally. Despite approval from local authorities, police visited the rally several times to check parking compliance. The campsite is free for the first year, and only motorhomes are allowed; tents and barbecues are prohibited.

The Russian RV market is expanding with new rental options and domestic production, though infrastructure remains a key constraint. Chinese-made motorhomes are entering the rental market, priced around 28,000 rubles per day, but are considered cramped for local users.

Campgrounds with full hookups are still scarce, with many existing only as basic parking areas.
