Camping across Italy is one of the most beautiful — and affordable — ways to see this ever popular travel destination. Italy - Camping and Caravaning Guide is the first English translation of an Italian bestseller that has been published every year since the 1950s. Divided by region with corresponding maps, this up-to-date and meticulously researched book uses short text and simple symbols to describe hundreds of campsites and dozens of resorts throughout Italy, with complete information ranging from location, times open, proximity to water, pet policies, access to restaurants and supermarkets, amenities, and more. Address, website, phone number, size, and other vital statistics are provided for each site. In addition, membership information details how readers can join the Touring Club to receive special rates at 400 select sites.

Customer Reviews

Inaccurate1
I visited Italy in March 2007 armed with my copy of this camping guide, relying on it to advise me about which campgrounds were open during the off season. Of 10 campgrounds I visited which were categorised as open-all-year, all but one were closed for the winter. This caused me considerable inconvenience, including two nights on the back seat of the car. It almost ruined my holiday.
Interestingly, one campground I found that was open, was not mentioned in the book.
My advice, bitterly learnt, is that one cannot rely on this book for off-season travel. It is inaccurate and incomplete.

None better for care-free camping in Italy.4
Good and factual. The descriptions could have been a bit deeper but mostly were right on the mark. Makes choosing campsites a lot easier and quicker than calling cold.
