In July 2026, the Puncak Bila nature park in Sidrap, South Sulawesi, will host the 27th anniversary of the Camper Van Indonesia South Celebes community. Hundreds of camper vans are expected to gather for the event. Activities include camping, bonfires, entertainment, and a cleanup campaign (#BawaPulangSampahTa).

Indonesia's PM 45 Tahun 2023 regulates campervan modifications, permitting only conversions of goods vehicles with a maximum gross weight of 5,500 kg. Dimensional changes (height, length, width) must stay within government tolerances. Modifications must be carried out by certified workshops, followed by a type test to ensure roadworthiness and legal compliance.
