Since June 22, 2026, Leoben has added two new motorhome parking areas: 'Schladnitzer Dorfstadl Camping' and Stellplatz Steinscherer. The projects were launched by the Erzberg-Leoben tourism association to meet growing demand in the camping segment. The first site features sanitary facilities and a self-check-in system, while the second offers two central pitches. The new facilities are expected to boost local economic impact by attracting active tourists.

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.

Farmers around the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg run campsites for Formula 1 guests. Karl Maier, owner of 'Campingplatz Rot' and spokesperson for an initiative of 15 families, described the scale: on peak weekends, up to 40,000 visitors camp on 30 sites. After the chaos of 2014, operators upgraded infrastructure — electricity, sewage, roads. Maier denied rumors of millionaire incomes, stating profits are reinvested into the sites.
