Chałupy Campsite Submerged: Flooding Impacts Popular Polish Holiday Destination

CHAŁUPY, POLAND – A popular campsite in Chałupy, a well-known holiday destination on the Hel Peninsula, has been significantly affected by recent heavy rainfall, leading to widespread flooding. Video footage uploaded on July 29, 2025, depicts caravans and tents partially submerged in murky water, transforming parts of the site into what some online commentators have sarcastically dubbed 'Polish Maldives'. The footage shows large areas of the campsite inundated, with water levels reaching the base of caravans and covering tent pitches. Trees and sandy pathways are now surrounded by deep puddles, reflecting the overcast sky. Holidaymakers and locals have expressed concern over the conditions, with some online comments noting similar flooding incidents in previous years. While the exact cause of the flooding is under investigation, residents and visitors are advised to check local weather forecasts and campsite conditions before traveling to the area. Authorities have not yet released official statements regarding the extent of the damage or any evacuation efforts.
