In Brief
In Arco, Trentino, residents protest campers occupying supermarket parking. The official 33-space lot in Trento is full, prompting plans for a larger one.
In the town of Arco in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy, local residents are complaining about motorhomes that regularly occupy parking spaces at supermarkets. A citizens' group is demanding that authorities install barriers and increase police control, citing overflowing rubbish bins and the problem spreading to other parts of the municipality.
The official camper parking area in Trento has only 33 spaces, which are fully occupied during the high season, forcing tourists to park elsewhere. Authorities plan to replace the existing lot with a larger, better-equipped one, which could improve the situation.
The Facebook post sparked a lively debate: some users share the criticism, while others see the situation more nuanced, noting that a correct and polite camper enhances the region.

Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.

In South Tyrol, authorities have issued 21 fines for wild camping as part of a regional operation. Overnight stays in a motorhome or using a roof tent outside designated areas are considered violations. Fines apply for parking in protected zones, beaches, public spaces, and private land without permission. The distinction between parking and camping is key: setting up chairs, a table, an awning, or cooking can be treated as camping.
Several municipalities in South Tyrol are implementing bans on overnight stays in vehicles on public parking lots. Authorities cite issues with litter and sanitation, while camper associations are challenging these measures in court as discriminatory. For instance, Wolkenstein has seen a decrease in campers since its ban, and Lake Kalter plans to introduce a ban with vehicle towing.
Residents of urbanizations near the Río Torrox lighthouse report dozens of motorhomes parked in the riverbed for weeks, despite a 24-hour parking limit. They cite illegal wastewater dumping, littering, and the use of vegetation as toilets, criticizing the inaction of local police and the Civil Guard. The conflict is linked to the post-pandemic boom in motorhome tourism, with the lack of specific infrastructure and stricter regulations in neighboring municipalities exacerbating the situation.

A study by the German research institute Ifeu found that a hotel night generates 22.1 kg of CO₂ equivalent per person, compared to 1.8 kg for a night in a camper van at a parking area. According to Ergo, the camper format produces 70% of the CO₂ emissions of a traditional car trip with a hotel stay. A survey of 52 affiliated dealers by Assocamp showed that for 63.5% of operators, the integration of solar panels, inverters and lithium batteries is the determining factor in purchasing a vehicle. The data and the guide 'Con il camper puoi' will be presented at the Salone del Camper 2026 in Parma starting 12 September.

Organizers highlight increasing demand for nature-based and wellness travel.
In Caprarica di Lecce, €33 million from the national fund for motorhome tourism remain unused after the first tender for managing a new motorhome area attracted no bids. Mayor Paolo Greco will meet with representatives of the VIC Salento association to discuss how to make the next tender more attractive to operators. The main issue is the requirement for prior experience in managing similar facilities, which limits the number of participants.

Demand for bungalows and glamping is rising, and the season is extending into autumn.
