Motorhome parking issues in Germany

In Bad Godesberg (Mehlem district), a resident complained about a motorhome that has been parked on a public lot for several months. The city administration clarified parking rules for such vehicles, including the requirement for a valid technical inspection.

In Fürstenfeldbruck, the city transferred management of the motorhome parking lot to Camping Car Park. From February 21, the 22-space lot will temporarily close for modernization. After renovation, the number of spaces will increase from 9 to 23, with reopening planned for the start of the spring tourist season.

Criticism of motorhome parking prices: Majority rejects amendment

The SPD in Mammendorf criticized the new pricing for the motorhome parking lot at the Freizeitpark as socially unacceptable, but the district council rejected the amendment with a vote of 9 to 3. Since 2025, the overnight fee changed from a flat €15 per motorhome to €10 per night plus per-person charges: €10 for adults, €8 for youth, with free pool entry included. The original flat rate had led to up to eight people per vehicle. The parking lot was originally intended for group leaders.
