Original source: Infomotori

In Brief

Yescapa study: 2.5 million people plan summer camper trips, 64% of Italians go abroad. Also: 5 mythic coastal routes and a Sicily guide with 8 itineraries.

According to a study by the camper-sharing platform Yescapa, 2.5 million people, including 130,000 Italians, plan to use campers for summer trips. 46% of them are aged 25–34. 64% of Italian travelers will choose foreign destinations, with Spain, Portugal and Italy leading. Only 19% of trips fall in August, indicating a decline in seasonality.

Mythic routes and Sicily guide

Yescapa also selected five routes along the Italian coast linked to local legends: Cala Luna in Sardinia (pirate Dragut), the Strait of Capo Peloro in Sicily (myth of fisherman Colapesce), Castro in Apulia (Cinzuluzza cave), Tellaro in Liguria (story of rescue by an octopus) and Sirolo on the Adriatic (mermaid legend). The platform manages over 35,000 vehicles and offers multi-risk insurance for European carsharing.

PleinAir magazine released the guide "Sicilia in camper" with eight itineraries for camper travel. The publication recommends planning the trip off-season to avoid tourist crowds. The guide lists parking spots, attractions and little-known sites. Routes cover Etna, Marsala salt pans, Magna Graecia monuments and the Apennines.

Three Italian itineraries for motorhome travel: sea, thermal baths, and villages

Motorhome travel is gaining popularity in Italy, now attracting not only families and retirees but also young couples and friend groups. Industry data shows an increase in rentals, parking areas, and equipped campsites, especially in natural and coastal destinations. When costs are shared, a motorhome can be more affordable than hotels, particularly in areas with high summer prices. It is advised to book parking spots in advance, avoid August if possible, and choose easy routes for first-timers.

Olbia: Proposal to Create Large Camper Parking Area at Olbia Arena

In Olbia, a proposal has been made to use part of the Olbia Arena, covering about ten hectares, for a paid camper parking area during periods when no events are scheduled. The idea is based on the example of Dinan, France, which offers parking and a campsite for motorhome travelers. The proposed facility would operate only when the event calendar allows, featuring automatic barriers, basic services, and possibly shuttle connections to the city center and beaches.

Borgo San Lorenzo: No Motorhome Area, Municipality Plans Two New Zones

The Tuscan town of Borgo San Lorenzo currently lacks a designated motorhome service area. Previously, drivers could dispose of waste at the Foro Boario, but this was removed during redevelopment. The council is evaluating options to create two areas: one for short tourist stops with water and electricity hookups, and another for long-term parking of residents' motorhomes. The exact locations are yet to be determined, but the project is a priority.

Enego builds new motorhome area with seven pitches

Work is underway in Enego on a new motorhome area on Viale Sant'Antonio. The project, worth €100,673.76, is partly funded by the Ministry of Tourism. The 706-square-meter facility will include seven pitches, a motorhome service point, e-bike charging stations, and full accessibility for people with disabilities. The site previously housed waste collection bins, which have been relocated near the cemetery. The contractor is F.lli Carollo S.r.l., with completion expected between late summer and autumn.

Via Fedrigotti parking: new rules, six spaces reserved for motorhomes

In Rovereto, in the Sacco district, the parking lot on via Fedrigotti has been reorganized. Under a new ordinance, six parking spaces are now reserved exclusively for motorhomes, while the remaining spaces are for cars. Additionally, vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are banned from entering the lot. The changes aim to prevent motorhomes from occupying large spaces for extended periods.
