Camper and vanlife boom in Italy: record registrations and young people choose freedom on wheels

In 2025, new camper registrations in Italy increased by 10.56% year-on-year to 7,936 units, far outpacing the European average growth of 0.6%. The used market also rose by 6.05%, with total transactions exceeding 44,000. The sector is valued at €8.5 billion, and the Ministry of Tourism has allocated over €25 million to create and upgrade parking areas in 170 municipalities, adding more than 4,400 new pitches. Over 50% of new camper-sharing users are aged 25–34, preferring compact vans. Despite the boom, free camping remains restricted in Italy: overnight parking is not allowed everywhere, and setting up an awning or chairs can result in fines.

Collision between car and motorhome blocks intersection in Moncalieri

On Friday afternoon around 4:00 PM, a collision between a motorhome and a Daewoo car occurred at the traffic light intersection of Corso Trieste and Strada Vallere in Moncalieri. The impact was not severe, but the Daewoo ended up completely sideways across the lanes in front of the motorhome, which stopped in the middle of the road. Traffic was slowed until the vehicles were removed; the intersection is monitored by a red-light camera system, preventing minor violations.

Former sports field turned into motorhome parking in Gassino Torinese

In Gassino Torinese, Italy, the former Olindo Fiore sports field in Bussolino has been converted into a free parking area for five motorhomes. The project cost €82,000 (€50,000 from regional funds and €32,000 from the municipal budget), drawing criticism from the opposition. Maurizio Gazzara, leader of the Gassino Insieme list, argued the funds should have been used for road and sidewalk repairs instead. He also cited a 1985 notarial deed stating the land was designated for social and cultural facilities, not parking. The parking regulations were approved by a majority vote, but the debate continues.
