The name Tuscany immediately brings to mind romantic countryside, warm colours, and charming villages. It’s one of the most popular destinations in Italy, loved for its rolling hills and picturesque towns.
Also known as the Venetian Riviera, this coastline offers miles of sandy beaches suitable for all types of holidaymakers. Young and old alike will have a wonderful time here. The fairytale city of Venice, nearby, is perfect for strolling and sightseeing. In addition to many campsites around Venice, the city is home to impressive buildings like St. Mark’s Basilica and the Church of San Zaccaria. Beyond its gondolas, Venice is also famous for its beautiful glasswork.
Calabria is still a relatively undiscovered part of Italy. The lack of mass tourism only adds to its charm. Located at the “toe” of Italy’s boot, the region is known for its rugged interior and stunning coastline. Here, you'll find some of the country’s most exceptional beaches.
Rome is the capital of Italy. Staying at a campsite near Rome gives you the perfect base for day trips into this historic city. Public transport is excellent, so you can leave your car at the campsite. Highlights include the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. Simply wandering through the city’s baroque squares and medieval alleys is an experience in itself. A visit to the Gallery of Modern Art will bring you right back to the present day.
Italy is a boot-shaped peninsula, but the islands of Sicily and Sardinia are also part of the country. Sardinia, for example, is green and hilly, and camping here feels like paradise!
With so many tourists visiting every year, it’s no surprise that there is a huge variety of campsites to choose from. You can opt for a large campsite with every facility you could wish for, designed to make your holiday as comfortable as possible. If you prefer a quieter experience, book a stay at a small or nature-focused campsite for more peace and space.
Luxury camping, or glamping, has become hugely popular in Italy in recent years. Glamping means enjoying the great outdoors with the comforts of home. This often includes a fully equipped kitchen and private bathroom facilities.
Arguably the world’s most beloved cuisine, every region in Italy has its own specialties. If you’re camping in Italy, your holiday will definitely be a culinary adventure! Try the local restaurants in small villages, where meals are made according to local traditions. Enjoy the smooth olive oil, indulge in delicious Italian desserts, and pair your dinners with a local wine.
