Destinations

Campers travelling to Italy with their mobile home are literally spoilt for choice. The southern European country is beautiful everywhere. From the boot shank to the tip, romantic little towns, beautiful coastal roads and excellent campsites beckon. There are several 4-star campsites in Veneto. The northern region is easily accessible. The Adriatic coast is shallow and ideal for families with children. Camping Village Scarpiland is located on a private beach. The cosy campsite impresses with its Italian flair and its proximity to the water.

The comfortable Camping Vela Blu campsite also has an enchanting location. The family-friendly camping village is located in a pine forest on the Adriatic coast. The pool area and sports facilities are ideal for families with children aged 4-16. Tuscany is a favourite destination for many campervan drivers. Olive groves, vineyards and cypress avenues make every route a delight. In the midst of this breathtaking cultural and natural landscape, a few camping gems await. A wonderful 4-star campsite in Italy is the Village Le Esperidi in Marina di Bibbona. It is located directly behind a belt of dunes, just a few metres from the long sandy beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

First-class, Caribbean-style holidays await motorhome drivers in Sardinia. The holiday camping village of L'Ultima Spiaggia in the east of the island enchants with its location on the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea. Sky-blue water also sparkles in the four interconnected swimming pools. A small waterfall and beach effects conjure up a natural ambience. Fitness, aqua aerobics and diving are offered both in the pool area and on the beach.

Top tips

• Fans of Lake Garda dream of travelling around the popular northern Italian lake on the 150 km long Gardesana. The route winds its way from town to town. The Gardesana Occidentale runs along the western shore and the Gardesana Orientale along the eastern shore. Camping Spiaggia d'Oro, for example, is a beautiful 4-star campsite right on Lake Garda. With a view of the water and access to the sandy beach, it's a great place to stay.
• The crescent-shaped region of Liguria is known for its steep terraced villages such as the Cinque Terre on rugged mountain slopes. If you want to combine this unique landscape with 4-star camping, choose Camping Lino, for example. Lots of floral decorations and vines on the grounds blend in wonderfully with the picturesque flair of the surroundings.

Actively experience and explore Italy

Italy is a multifaceted holiday destination: the major historical cities such as Venice, Florence and Rome are not only a delight for culture, history and architecture fans. Children also go into raptures at the sight of the nostalgic facades. Active sports enthusiasts and beach holidaymakers will get their money's worth in Italy, as will gourmets and wine connoisseurs.

Excursions to the cities

Motorhome drivers camping near the historic metropolises can enjoy a relaxed visit if they leave their campervan at the gates of the cities. There are bus connections to Pisa or Florence from most campsites in Tuscany. Venice or Verona can be visited from the 4-star campsite on Lake Garda. On the Amalfi Coast, Naples and Capri are tempting. Rome is difficult to explore in one day. The campsites on the outskirts of the city are ideal for this.

Excursions to the coasts

The boot of Italy is lined with the most beautiful coasts in Europe. The southern European country offers a total of 7,500 kilometres of coastline. The rocky and pointed coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the west and the soft sandy beaches of the Adriatic Sea in the south-east are enchanting. There are bays, caves and lagoons to discover on the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Amalfi Coast around Naples. The Etruscan Coast, which is part of Tuscany, impresses with its historical archaeological sites. Motorhome travellers will find sights worth seeing along the coast and many beautiful 4-star campsites.

Active in the mountains

The 4-star campsites in the north of the country are ideal for active campers. The foothills of the Alps around Lake Garda are ideal for hiking and mountain biking. There are also high-altitude tandem paragliding flights. If you want to go even higher, you can take off in a hot air balloon and float above the Alps. The Dolomites in South Tyrol don't just attract skiers and snowboarders in winter. In summer, mountaineers, hikers and mountain bikers meet up at the 4-star campsites in the valleys in the northernmost part of Italy.

Enjoying culture in Italy

Art and aesthetics are very important in Italy, which is also reflected in the numerous Italian events. Between flower processions and cultural festivals, every camper will find their favourite event.
