Bike camping is also growing, with micro caravans like the Wide Path Camper (Denmark), B-Turtle (Austria), CapsulBike (France), Hupi Trailer (Finland), and Alpencamper Eco Slide Out (Switzerland) designed for electric bikes.

Rovetta starts Biellone redevelopment: bike path, camper area and picnic zone

Work has begun in Rovetta on the redevelopment of the Biellone natural area in the Conca Verde district. The project, worth about 400,000 euros, is 90% funded by the Lombardy Region. It includes renovating the existing pedestrian path, building a new bike path connecting to the Biellone VASP, and creating a camper parking area and a picnic area. The start of construction during the summer holiday period was driven by the need to meet regional deadlines.

Camper area in Posatora: reduced fee for maintenance and tourism

The Ancona city council has extended the concession for the management of the camper area in Posatora until December 2027, granting the Campeggiatori Club Adriatico association a 90% reduction in the annual fee, from over 30,000 euros to about 3,022 euros plus VAT. The association covers maintenance costs, including green areas, electrical systems, and insurance. The temporary extension ensures service continuity while the municipality decides on the future use of the 8,200 sqm site.
