Camping in Basilicata

In southern Italy, the Basilicata region welcomes passionate motorhome and caravan drivers. Guests seeking relaxation and nature-loving guests feel particularly at home in the sparsely populated provinces, which are characterised by gorges and mountains. Families benefit from well-equipped campsites by the sea with many child-friendly facilities. Many of the campsites also welcome dogs with open arms.

Special features of camping in Basilicata

Basilicata is located between Apulia, Campania and Calabria. The region in the southern part of Italy is dotted with idyllic campsites nestled in unspoilt nature - perfect for those with sporting ambitions. Active holidaymakers love to hike along the well-developed network of paths that criss-cross the unspoilt landscapes.

Most of the campsites in Basilicata are located on the coast and are therefore perfect for all guests who enjoy an early morning swim in the sea. There are around 70 kilometres of coastline along the sea, with beautiful sandy beaches. Cities such as Potenza and Matera invite you to linger with interesting cultural attractions and plenty of shopping opportunities.

Best time to visit

The best time to go camping in Basilicata is from May to October. It can get quite hot in summer and temperatures above 30 degrees are not uncommon. Nevertheless, most motorhome drivers travel to Basilicata at this time due to the European summer holidays.

Those who prefer it a little quieter and don't tolerate the heat so well should plan their stay in spring or autumn. Then guests can expect temperatures of around 24 degrees Celsius and - just like in summer - many hours of sunshine. Bathing holidaymakers can look forward to water temperatures of around 24 degrees Celsius.
