What Campers Should Know About Camping in Italy
Keep an eye out for Ticks
In Northern Italy, there’s a risk of getting TBE or Lyme disease from ticks. Make sure to protect yourself when you’re at the campsite or out hiking: dress appropriately (consider wearing light-coloured trousers and long-sleeve shirts to cover your skin and to spot ticks more easily) and use insect repellent.
Reservations are necessary in August
If you want to travel to Italy in August, make sure to book far enough in advance, because August is also the month when most Italians go on holiday. On some campsites, there’s even a required minimum length of stay.
Don’t drink the Tap Water
Even though the water quality in Italy is required to meet the high standards put in place by the EU, you still shouldn’t drink the tap water here. Old and unclean pipes can negatively impact the water’s quality.
Pack an Adapter
The voltage on campsites is generally between 110 and 220 volts. Since shock-proof plugs aren’t used in Italy, you should bring an adapter with you.
Know the Speed Limits
Outside of built-up areas, the speed limit for cars and motorhomes up to 3.5 t is 90 km/h. On motorways, the limit is 130 km/h. If you’re driving a motorhome that’s heavier than 3.5 t, the speed limits drop to 80 km/h on roads outside of built-up areas and 100 km/h on motorways. For cars with caravans, the speed limit is even lower, at 70 km/h on roads outside of built-up areas and 80 km/h on motorways.
Restricted Nudism
Nudism is generally not permitted in Italy. An exception are designated areas like private properties or official nudist beaches. These are generally located in more secluded areas and not in the main tourist spots.
