Diesel & Petrol Prices in Slovakia

On July 24, a car and a caravan collided in the Ovčiarsko tunnel on the D1 highway. One person was injured. Traffic toward Žilina was temporarily closed.

A car and a motorhome collided on the road from Drienovec towards Turňa nad Bodvou. The car ended up in a field. Two people were in the car, six in the motorhome — including four children. The motorhome driver received on-site medical treatment; no other injuries were reported. The road remains passable. Police and firefighters attended the scene. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

On July 18, the first edition of the Radimov Karavan Fest will take place, featuring caravans and motorhomes, caravanning equipment, family attractions, dog training and traffic police demonstrations, boxing matches, and live music by TIP TOP Band and country band Prospektori. Admission is free.

Caravanning is gaining popularity in Slovakia. Campsites are upgrading their facilities, and water parks and swimming pools are attracting more visitors. Association of Water Parks, Pools and Baths president Gabriel Somogyi and SACC vice-president for camping Zuzana Trúchla noted that this season's trends include service modernization and expanded options for caravanners.

Rising hotel and flight costs are driving European families toward van-life. Converted vans now offer comfort comparable to expensive caravans at a fraction of the price. A basic setup with sleeping for two, solar panel, and compact kitchen starts at €15,000; a premium version with heating and insulation costs up to €30,000, while integrated caravans start at €50,000.

Organizers of the Slovak Pohoda 2026 festival announced additional parking capacity. Starting June 16, 240 spots at P1, 19 caravan spots, and 24 motorhome spots will go on sale. All spots are available for 4 days with a valid 3- or 4-day adult ticket.
