Aosta and Poggibonsi to upgrade camper van areas
Original source: gazzettamatin.com

In Brief

In Aosta, a private investor proposed renovating the municipal camper van area; the city is also considering building a second one. In Poggibonsi, the Vallone camper area renovation project was approved for €200,000.

Aosta

In Aosta, a private investor has proposed renovating the municipal camper van area on Via Caduti del Lavoro. The city council is considering a tender for the renovation, which includes expansion, landscaping, creation of shaded areas, and modernization of sanitary facilities. At the same time, authorities are exploring the possibility of building a second, smaller and more remote camper area. Since 2018, the area has had no manager due to unprofitability; users complain about lack of electricity, dirt, and non-functioning toilets. Earlier, a local reader suggested converting an abandoned space behind the Torre dei Balivi tower into a new camper area.

Poggibonsi

In Poggibonsi (Tuscany), the renovation project for the Vallone camper area has been approved. The total budget is €200,000, partly funded by the Ministry of Tourism (€36,000). Plans include 10 equipped pitches with controlled access, video surveillance, Wi-Fi, a picnic area, water and electricity supply, an information point, an automatic barrier, a traffic light, enhanced lighting, and fencing. Mayor Susanna Cenni stated that the renovation is part of a broader plan that includes negotiations with private companies to create a larger camper area in a strategic location.

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.
