Discover and book the best campsites in Italy

Italy, the picturesque and fantastically beautiful country on the Mediterranean that reminds many of a boot, has always been one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe. There are many reasons for this, but the endless sandy beaches, exciting mountains, traditional cities and sights wherever you look.

With such a diverse natural landscape, pleasant summer temperatures and islands in the south of the country, Italy is of course also perfect for a camping holiday. The choice and range of superbly equipped campsites in Italy is huge and whether you are looking for a family campsite in Italy and camping on a sandy beach or want to take your dog with you, there is something to suit everyone’s taste.

General information about camping in Italy

Camping is extremely popular in Italy and the range of well-equipped campsites throughout the country is excellent. Especially by the sea, both on the Adriatic and on the Tyrrhenian Sea, you will find numerous campsites where you can enjoy a cosy summer holiday with the whole family. The southern islands of Sicily and Sardinia are also popular destinations for a camping holiday in Italy.

With a total of 37 campsites included on the ADAC Superplätze list (4 new ones in 2023), you will have plenty of high-quality campsites to choose from. As a rule, they all have many leisure facilities, pools or entire water parks, including entertainment programmes for your children so that you can all enjoy a relaxing camping holiday by the Italian sea.

You can camp in Italy on designated campsites. Wild camping is not permitted and is regularly monitored in the vicinity of popular holiday destinations. Due to the associated fines, it is therefore not advisable.

Popular campsites also book up quickly – we therefore recommend that you start planning your holiday in January at the latest. The best places go quickly – you can find our offer for early booking discounts in Italy here.

Best time to travel for a camping holiday in Italy

Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, Italy is a particularly popular holiday destination in summer. The temperatures are pleasant, the day is long and plenty of sunshine is guaranteed. Thanks to the warm sea temperature, your children can stay in the water a little longer. The most popular period for camping in Italy is July and August, but it can also get a little crowded in the peak summer season.

That’s why Italy is also recommended outside the summer months for a relaxing family holiday by the sea. The temperatures are still pleasant even in spring and autumn, there are not so many tourists and you can visit popular sights at your leisure. There are also many campsites that are open all year round. A camping holiday in Italy is a good idea at any time of the year.

Popular regions with campsites in Italy

Veneto and the Adriatic coast for the perfect family holiday

Most campsites in Italy are located directly on the water, partly on the sea coast and partly along the large Italian lakes such as Lake Garda or Lake Maggiore. Campsites on the Adriatic are particularly popular. The Mediterranean landscape, endless beaches and idyllic little towns along the coast make this region ideal for a seaside holiday at a campsite. Even if you don’t have a motorhome, you can still head to campsites all over Italy.

Mobile homes and glamping tents are available at almost every campsite here. Enjoy maximum comfort, feel at home in mobile homes with 2 or even 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and at the same time enjoy all the comforts that a stay at a campsite entails. Let your children have endless fun in the pool while you relax and read a book on the terrace of your mobile home and whip up a delicious meal in the fully equipped kitchen just in time for lunch.

A barbecue evening right next to the house is also possible and when your children return to the mobile home exhausted from the water slides, a cosy bed awaits you. Air conditioning is of course included as standard, so you don’t have to worry about the summer temperatures.

If you do manage to tempt the children out of the campsite, don’t miss the city of love – Venice. Stroll through the dreamy alleyways, sip an espresso in St Mark’s Square and take unforgettable pictures of the canals adorned with gondolas from the Rialto Bridge.
