Dispute over campsite at Butamyata beach in Sinemorets: authorities deny construction
Original source: News.bg

In Brief

Tsarevo municipality denies rumors of a campsite at Butamyata beach, but a tender for camper van plots has sparked a scandal and a prosecutor's investigation.

A scandal has erupted around Butamyata beach in Sinemorets after Tsarevo municipality leased four municipal plots totaling nearly 35 decares on the first line of the beach for a caravan campsite. The winning bidder, company "PEPE.BG", plans to place 85 caravans, 20 campers, and tents, putting pressure on the infrastructure of Strandzha Nature Park, which borders the Silistar protected area. The tender raised suspicions due to the participation of two related candidates, one of whom was disqualified.

However, the Tsarevo administration stated that there will be no campsite on Butamyata beach. According to them, the lessee will not build permanent structures but will only organize a camper zone with temporary infrastructure for up to three years (May to September) in line with national regulations. The annual rent is 6,700 euros. The Burgas District Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into the legality of the deal.
