Two Major Caravan and Camping Exhibitions in Istanbul in 2026

47-year-old Murat Yıldız from Akçadağ district in Malatya couldn't rent an apartment and converted his agricultural vehicle into a caravan. He has been living in it for about three weeks, earning a living through day labor.

A fire broke out in a parked caravan in the Fatih neighborhood of Mezitli. The cause of the blaze, which occurred on the afternoon of April 20, 2026, is under investigation. Firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to an adjacent house, but the caravan was completely destroyed.

Almería is putting up physical barriers to keep motorhomers off its former fairground — while Turkey simply evicts them from the beach.

Plus 800 kg of hashish in a motorhome at the Spanish border, Anker's 800 W charger running off the alternator, and Carstay as the mobile HQ of a Tokyo festival — all in this issue.

Authorities in Antalya's Kumluca district banned caravan stays outside official parks and campsites due to public order and safety concerns. Gendarmerie evicted caravanners from Aktaş beach, sparking protests from residents who claim they maintain cleanliness and pay taxes.

Authorities in Kumluca, Antalya, have banned overnight stays in caravans outside official campsites. Gendarmes forcibly evicted dozens of motorhomes from Aktash Beach. Caravan owners protest, claiming unfair generalizations and a lack of suitable alternatives.
