The municipality of Fossacesia has published a tender for the concession of a camper area on the South Promenade, in the Grotte locality. The management period is three years, with a starting bid of 11,000 euros per year, and only upward offers are accepted. The area covers approximately 1,800 square meters and can accommodate about 20 motorhomes. The concessionaire will handle management, maintenance, and operation, and may install a movable kiosk and set tariffs. Bids must be submitted by 12:00 PM on June 13, 2026. The area was closed in November 2024 due to its classification as a 'Red Zone' in the Hydrogeological Plan following studies on the Fosso Mayer stream.

A magistrate in Ravenna annulled two fines totaling about €300 issued to a Romani woman for parking her caravan at Piazza Ravaioli in Classe. The judge ruled that parking a camper is not camping if the vehicle does not rest on the ground, produce waste, or exceed its footprint.

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.
