Italy simplifies rules for motorhomes and campsites with DPR 73/2026
Original source: idealista/news

In Brief

Since May 27, Italy's DPR 73/2026 has eased permits for placing motorhomes, caravans and campers in campsites. New rules waive landscape authorization for mobile units meeting standards.

Italy's DPR 73/2026, effective from May 27, 2026, simplifies regulations for motorhomes, caravans and campers in campsites. According to source 1, the new rules eliminate the need for a separate landscape permit for installing new mobile units on already approved sites, provided they comply with UNI EN 13878:2007 standards and have no permanent foundations. The decree also streamlines upgrades to campsite infrastructure, such as laying networks and adjusting the number of pitches, without increasing total capacity.

Source 2 adds that the Council of Ministers approved the decree, exempting motorhomes, caravans and campers from landscape authorization procedures. The rules apply to mobile accommodation placed in already certified open tourist structures. To qualify for the exemption, the vehicle must meet technical standards, have no permanent connection to the ground, and be easily connectable to utilities.

Italy simplifies rules for motorhomes and campsite infrastructure

The Italian government has approved bureaucratic simplifications for open-air tourism facilities. Placing motorhomes and caravans will not require additional landscape authorization if the area already has one. A simplified procedure is also introduced for authorizing network infrastructure and changes to the layout of equipped pitches.

Olbia adopts motorhome parking regulations under court pressure

The Olbia city council has approved a regulation for motorhome parking areas, but did so under the threat of a court ruling. The regulation was adopted after the regional administrative court ordered the municipality to establish rules within 90 days, rejecting its previous site proposals as insufficient. The new rules set minimum service requirements for such areas, including drainage, water supply, electricity, and video surveillance.

Excursion to the summit craters of Mount Etna by motorhome

In Sicily, motorhome trips to high-altitude areas, particularly Mount Etna, are popular. The route starts from the Mons Gibel Camping Park (Belpasso, 550 m) and leads to the Piano Provenzana parking lot (1810 m), covering about 58 km with an elevation gain of 1260 m. This is followed by a 4×4 ride (18 km round trip) and a 4–5 km hike with a 450–500 m elevation difference to about 3300 m. The excursion lasts 4–5 hours, difficulty moderate (E). Cost is 120–140 euros per person. Above 2800–2900 m, a volcanological guide is mandatory; access may be restricted during heightened activity.

Man arrested in Modena for attempted theft of bicycles from parked motorhome

State Police in Modena arrested a 31-year-old man, already known to authorities, for attempted aggravated theft. Around 11:00 PM on Viale Martiri della Libertà, officers responded to a 112 emergency call from a street tutor reporting someone tampering with a parked motorhome. The suspect dropped a pair of shears and fled toward via Mascherella but was caught on Corso Adriano. Two of four bicycles originally secured to the motorhome's bike rack were found on the ground nearby, a third was hidden in a flowerbed at Parco Pertini, and the chain had been cut; a window was also broken. The arrest was validated by the preliminary investigations judge, who imposed an obligation to report to judicial police.

Turin residents complain about constant presence of motorhomes and caravans in parks

Residents of Turin reported the prolonged presence of motorhomes, caravans, and vans on Corso Brunelleschi, near the Mercatò supermarket. They cite safety concerns: abandoned waste, use of public fountains for washing, and belongings left near a playground. District 3 councilor Stefano Bolognesi said structural solutions are needed, not just moving people. Authorities note the same families cyclically move between the San Paolo and Pozzo Strada neighborhoods.

Fiumicino obscures parking rates for motorhomes and buses

The municipality of Fiumicino has taped over the rates for motorhomes and private buses on paid parking signs. The move follows resident complaints about the lack of adequately sized parking spaces for such vehicles. New blue zones are being introduced on several streets, including seafronts, but no dedicated spots for motorhomes and buses have been allocated yet.

Bagnasco: Motorhome area to become safer with cameras and new furnishings

The municipality of Bagnasco (Piedmont) has awarded a contract to install a video surveillance system and provide furnishings for the new equipped motorhome stopover in the Case Sparse Centasco area. The cost of the work is €4,239.50, which allowed the administration to bypass mandatory public procurement procedures. Total investment in the creation of the stopover reached €82,000, of which €57,000 came from the Piedmont region and €25,000 from the municipal budget.
