Can we get rid of motorhome parking bans? Campaigners say ‘yes’ to improving local economy

Motorhome enthusiasts and business owners are urging councils to reconsider overnight parking prohibitions, claiming that the restrictions are really affecting local economies. According to the Campervan and Motorhome Professional Association (CAMPA), these prohibitions discourage tourists and deprive local companies of vital revenue. GB recently covered the rising issue.

While authorities argue that restrictions are essential owing to concerns such as trash disposal and congestion, CAMPA says motorhome owners are responsible visitors who support local businesses, bars, and attractions. Instead of outright restrictions, they advocate for designated parking areas and garbage disposal facilities.

Motorhome tourism has grown in recent years, as more individuals choose flexible, self-contained vacation. Other nations, such as France and Germany, have mastered this by establishing well-managed motorhome stopovers (known as “aires”) that benefit both tourists and businesses.

Supporters of the initiative suggest that the UK should follow suit, possibly by offering inexpensive overnight licences rather than discouraging motorhome visits. With motorhome ownership on the upswing, this discussion is not going away anytime soon!

Harrogate Leisure Vehicle & Holiday Caravan Show is cancelled for 2025

The National Caravan Council (NCC) has reported that the Harrogate Leisure Vehicle & Holiday Caravan Show (also known as the Great Caravan, Motorhome, and Holiday Home Show) will not take place as scheduled in September.

The decision was made after consultations with industry stakeholders, with organisers citing a decrease in manufacturer involvement as the primary cause for the cancellation. The festival was previously a major showcase for recreational vehicles, motorhomes, and holiday caravans, but changing market circumstances have made things more difficult.

With manufacturers and dealers evaluating their event plans and budgets, exhibitor numbers have decreased, forcing the difficult decision to cancel this year’s exhibition.
