Glamping trend displaces long-term campers: Switzerland clears spaces

A shift towards luxury glamping accommodations is forcing long-term seasonal campers off Swiss campgrounds. In Rapperswil-Jona, a lakeside site is being taken over by the city, while in Winterthur and Estavayer-le-Lac, renovations into 4-star glamping sites will drastically reduce permanent plots. The Swiss camping association cites the higher economic value of tourist turnover as the key driver behind this trend.

Winterthur: New Schützenweiher Campsite to Go to a Public Vote

A referendum has been called in Winterthur concerning the redevelopment of the Schützenweiher campsite. Voters will decide on a 6.9 million franc project to replace the 70-year-old site, which would displace approximately 60 permanent campers and a group of squatters. The new campsite would be managed by the TCS motoring club and accessed via a new road, which is also subject to the referendum.
