Andorra Police Issue Zero Fines for Illegal Motorhome Camping Since New Rules
Despite new regulations under the General Law on Tourist Accommodation, Andorra authorities report no fines for motorhomes parked or camped illegally. Ongoing inspections monitor compliance during peak tourism season.
Key Points
- No penalties issued for overnighting or camping outside designated areas post-May 27
- Enforcement follows info campaign; fines set at 600 euros, halved if paid promptly
- Rules aim to regulate motorhome tourism, protect public spaces and environment
- Designated zones provide facilities amid rising summer visits to Andorra mountains
Andorra police have issued no fines for overnighting or camping with motorhomes, caravans, campers, or similar vehicles outside designated areas, even after the new regulations took effect.
The force reported zero penalties since enforcement began following an initial information campaign. Checks started after May 27, when authorities shifted from educating users about authorised parking, overnighting, and camping zones to applying sanctions. The rules, under the General Law on Tourist Accommodation, prohibit such activities beyond campsites, designated camping areas, and motorhome stays. Offenders face 600-euro fines, halved if paid immediately.
This update comes as summer tourism increases in Andorra's mountains. The lack of fines may indicate effective prior outreach or sustained compliance. Police continue inspections to uphold the measures, which seek to regulate rising motorhome use, prevent irregular public space occupation, and minimise environmental harm.
Designated zones offer facilities to support visitors while safeguarding natural areas from unauthorised parking and waste. No details are available yet on inspection frequency or planned enforcement adjustments.
