Montalto Marina: camper area empty in peak summer

In late July, the camper area in Montalto Marina is nearly empty, prompting questions from the local civic group 'Impegno civico per Montalto e Pescia'. The group cites possible causes such as poor management, lack of services, and high prices. A camper driver noted that in Tarquinia, 9 euros per day includes water and lighting, while in Montalto Marina, 12 euros provides none. Others point to a broader economic downturn: rising service costs and stagnant wages reducing tourist numbers.

Porto Azzurro: storage facility for motorhomes and caravans seized along with tourists' trailers

In Porto Azzurro (Elba Island), the coast guard, acting on a prosecutor's order, sealed off a roughly 10,000 sq m plot used as a storage facility for motorhomes and caravans after it was classified as an illegal dump. All 105 vehicles on site were impounded, including roadworthy caravans belonging to tourists who intended to retrieve them for summer holidays. The facility owner says only about 15 vehicles are abandoned and should be scrapped, while the rest are in regular use. Tourists whose caravans are blocked report major disruption, with many having planned to depart within days.

Saronno: Motorhome owners protest over derelict parking area

Motorhome owners in Saronno, Italy, are calling on the municipality to restore the parking area on Via Grieg. The site, intended for servicing and parking motorhomes, is in a state of neglect: garbage is frequently dumped, water supply has been cut off, loading and discharge points are disabled, and there is no video surveillance or adequate lighting. Users suggest introducing paid access if the area is properly maintained, but the administration has not yet responded about the future of the facility.
