Murcia, Spain …. Parking enforcement.

We've stayed in Mazarrón many times, but due to the demand for places in campsites and Motorhome Parks you now need for someone to die before an overwinter spot becomes available.
I read in a recent article that currently Spain is only providing about 50% of the required spaces during the winter period, which is only going to get worse as more from northern Europe head south to escape from the high heating energy bills.
Camping Playa de Mazarrón and the new Camper Park in Mazarrón are now nearly impossible to get into for the winter months as 'regulars' rebook year on year.

Unfortunately the writing was on the wall. It was only a matter of time. Some of the park up areas we have passed over the years look like communes.

I remember being on playa La Carolina once and seeing MHs more set up with outside equipment than you would normally see on a campsite. I then saw a panel van with the tailgate open exposing the mattress and I thought to myself ok that’s sleeping sorted but what about a toilet. About 30 minutes later a “lady” left the van walked about 15m past the front of my van, pulled her leggings down, squat, pee, wipe with wet wipe and leave the wet wipe on the ground.

As Colin has highlighted the popular locations have more potential customers than pitches. Where are the displaced campers going to go? In land is an option but inland is often not as scenic and up in the hills which tend to be colder.

The philosophy of if it is full move on only works if there are alternatives. Spain provides so much already but there is a need for more.

Three big campsites will close this year to be replaced with apartments, other businesses including one I have stayed At before at Torre de Mar.

I don’t know the solution but I do have a plan!

With the brain's they have, probably drinking it

As has been said many times both at home and on the continent, there are too many Motorhomers with the attitude that everything must be free or at a price that the owner never stands a chance of making a profit.
Where are the investors going to come from to provide a service to that group of people?

You under the influence?

yep that will do it, ruining it for everyone!
