In 2025, new camper registrations in Italy increased by 10.56% year-on-year to 7,936 units, far outpacing the European average growth of 0.6%. The used market also rose by 6.05%, with total transactions exceeding 44,000. The sector is valued at €8.5 billion, and the Ministry of Tourism has allocated over €25 million to create and upgrade parking areas in 170 municipalities, adding more than 4,400 new pitches. Over 50% of new camper-sharing users are aged 25–34, preferring compact vans. Despite the boom, free camping remains restricted in Italy: overnight parking is not allowed everywhere, and setting up an awning or chairs can result in fines.
