In the Italian region of Salento, particularly in Gallipoli and Porto Cesareo, tourists in motorhomes are parking near cliffs, among dunes, and in prohibited areas, avoiding equipped parking areas and campsites. This results in municipalities losing significant tax revenue, including tourist tax and waste tax, with damages estimated at 50-60 thousand euros per season. Porto Cesareo has deployed patrols to address violations, while Gallipoli is considering structural measures.

Several campgrounds at Lake Garda offer extensive entertainment for children and amenities for parents. These include Baia Verde with animation and pools, Eden with a water park and private beach, Bella Italia with a kids' club and shows, Spiaggia D'Oro with water slides and an indoor play area, and Sportcamping Rio Vantone at Lake Idro, which focuses on sports and nature. Some campgrounds are open year-round.

In San Benedetto, where there has been no campsite for decades, the camper area under the Ascoli-Mare elevated road remained closed this summer. Mayor Nicola Mozzoni acknowledged the need to work on the issue and promised to find a solution for the next season. Alternative sites, including the former shooting range, are being considered for a camper parking area.

MOLTOMENO.DESIGN from Milan has introduced the MATRIOSKA kit that converts a seven-seat UAZ SGR into a motorhome with a kitchen, sleeping area, and dining zone in 99 minutes. Installation requires no special tools: three seats are removed. The kit includes a fold-out double bed (120×200 cm), a kitchen with a gas stove, sink, and two 12-liter water tanks. The base version costs 7,500 euros, with a refrigerator — 9,000 euros, comparable to the vehicle's price (726,900–777,700 rubles).
