Alghero: Sardinia landscape plan blocks camper van parking within city limits
Original source: Alghero News

Alghero city councilor Cesare Emiliano Piras commented on the recurring issue of camper parking in the port and city. He noted that the Highway Code equates campers (motorhomes) with cars for parking purposes but prohibits camping in any parking area. According to Piras, Sardinia's Regional Landscape Plan bans the construction of camper service areas within 300 meters of the coast, preventing strategic placement in urban zones. He proposed mandatory reporting of grey and black water discharge points and a dedicated landing tax, with proceeds reinvested into public camper parking facilities.

Italy simplifies bureaucracy for caravans and mobile homes in campsites

Italy's D.P.R. 73/2026 has taken effect, streamlining rules for placing mobile homes, caravans and motorhomes in campsites and tourist villages. Operators can now add new accommodation units without repeatedly seeking complex landscape permits, provided the facility already holds all required building and environmental authorisations. However, mobile homes and caravans must remain genuinely mobile: no permanent foundations, and utility connections must be temporary. Minor infrastructure upgrades, such as laying pipes or installing electric columns, also benefit from faster procedures, as long as the maximum guest capacity is not increased and no new masonry buildings are constructed.

Camper area deserted for third year: 130,000 euros wasted

A camper area in Civitanova, opened three years ago, remains empty and neglected. The 130,000-euro investment failed due to its poor location, several kilometers from the beach and city center, near a highway and commercial zone. Tourists choose other sites closer to the sea. Additionally, the completion of a bike path and a bridge over the Chienti River is delayed.
