Italy is one of Europe's richest camping destinations, from the Adriatic coast's family-friendly resorts to Tuscany's rolling hills and the shores of Lake Garda. Whether you're after a full-service holiday park with waterslides or a quiet pitch near a medieval hill town, Italy's huge range of campsites covers every kind of trip.

Many of today's largest campsites, especially around Lake Garda, the Tuscan coast and the Adriatic Riviera, trace their roots to this era, and have since grown into full holiday villages with water parks, entertainment programmes and a wide range of accommodation. Camping remains one of the most popular and affordable ways to holiday in Italy, particularly for families.
