Campervans on the Karst: Parking is allowed, the problem is enforcing the rules
Original source: TRIESTE.news

A reader of Trieste.news responded to an article about the growing number of campervans on the Karst, stating that parking a campervan is legal if conditions of Article 185 of the Highway Code are met. He emphasized that overnighting inside the vehicle is not camping if rules are not violated, and called for enforcement of violations rather than new bans.

Alghero fines motorhome owner for turning parking into camping

Local police in Alghero fined a motorhome owner at least €500 for turning a parking spot into unauthorized camping. The violation occurred near Don Bosco church: the owner had set up an awning, placed tables and chairs, and lowered the stabilizers. Under Article 185 of the Highway Code, a motorhome is considered parked only if it rests on its wheels, does not occupy more space than the vehicle itself, and discharges nothing. Otherwise, it is classified as camping, which is strictly prohibited in urban areas and protected zones.

Voghera faces camper parking shortage

Voghera, Italy, is experiencing an influx of camper tourists, but parking infrastructure is insufficient. Moreno Baggini, owner of the 'La Palazzina' facility, said his pitches have been constantly occupied and he plans to add more. Tourists from across Europe stop in Voghera due to its strategic location, but most parking areas lack services and security. Overnight stay with amenities costs 15 euros.

Around twenty fines issued to motorhomes and caravans on Regina road

Since August 4, an ordinance on the Regina state road in Italy prohibits motorhomes, caravans, and vehicles with trailers from heading towards Como between 6:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. About twenty fines have been issued since then. Yesterday, police stopped two motorhomes with Dutch plates and a caravan with German plates, each fined 87 euros and forced to turn around. Signage has proven ineffective, so regular checks are needed.
