Italy has introduced measures to regulate camper van parking. In Castrocaro Terme (Emilia-Romagna), as of 2 May 2026, a fee of €5 per day has been introduced with a maximum stay of 72 hours. The mayor stated that the funds will be used to upgrade infrastructure, including replacing old electric columns.

In Turin, at the Caio Mario camper area on corso Unione Sovietica, sanitary facilities have been restored and reopened after being damaged by vandalism and unauthorised use. To prevent further incidents, new rules have been introduced:

  • Maximum stay: 7 days.
  • Digital registration of licence plates.
  • €200 deposit.
  • €50 fine for violations.
