Campsite holidays in Italy are genuinely our favourite type of family holiday - and after six years of travelling with Eurocamp, including Venice, Rome, Lake Garda and Tuscany, it’s safe to say we’re obsessed.
With fantastic pools, great weather, and easy access to iconic cities, Eurocamp ticks every box for us (and that’s saying something when you’re trying to please four kids of different ages!).
Parks across Italy offer culture, sunshine, amazing food, and brilliant value. Plus, often cheaper than a UK holiday even when you add flights and transfers.

When planning your Eurocamp holiday in Italy, consider the travel logistics:
Distance from Airports: Many parks are conveniently located near major airports like Venice Marco Polo or Rome Fiumicino.
Driving Distance from Ports: If arriving by ferry, calculate the driving time to your chosen park.
Public Transport Accessibility: Check for bus, train, or ferry connections to nearby towns and attractions.
Most of the camps we've included in this guide are easy to reach without driving.
Airports which Serve Each Region:
Venice Marco Polo → Venice coast parks
Verona / Milan Bergamo → Lake Garda
Rome Fiumicino → Rome camps
Pisa or Florence → Tuscany
Italy’s public transport makes exploring simple and budget-friendly - perfect for non-drivers. Don't forget to check our guide on doing Eurocamp without a Car which includes lots of valuable information if flying.
The best time to visit Eurocamp parks in Italy is May to September, when the weather is warm, attractions are open, and most campsites run their full entertainment and pool schedules.
Pool opening times matter, especially for families, and Italy tend to vary by region:
Pools often open mid-May and close early to mid-September. Temperatures are a little cooler here, so parks tend to run slightly shorter seasons.
Pools typically open late April/early May and stay open until late September, sometimes even into early October depending on weather.
Because the pool complex is the biggest part of the holiday for most kids, always check individual pool opening and closing dates before booking. Each park sets its own schedule, and it can vary year by year.
Not necessarily. Italy is one of the easiest countries in Europe to do Eurocamp without a car.
Many parks are:
Close to airports
Near train stations or bus routes
Easy to reach by public transport, especially around Rome, Venice, Tuscany and Lake Garda
All 4 parcs we’ve visited in Italy, we’ve flown to.
From parks like Butterfly Camping, Fabulous and Marina di Venezia, you can explore entire regions using trains, buses, ferries and shuttle services.
A car can be useful in more rural areas (like parts of Tuscany or Sardinia), but it’s absolutely not essential for many of the most popular Italian Eurocamps.
If you’re planning to go car-free, check out our full guide on Eurocamp without a car for tips on transfers, trains and the easiest parks for non-drivers.
For most families, yes, Eurocamp is usually cheaper than a hotel, especially in peak season.
Why: You pay one price per accommodation, not per person. You can cook some meals, which reduces food costs.
Parking (if needed) is normally free.
You get more space - terrace, living area, kitchen, without paying for multiple rooms.
As a family of six, we’d typically need two hotel rooms, which instantly doubles the cost. At Eurocamp we only need a three-bedroom lodge, which is almost always cheaper and comes with more space, privacy and flexibility.
For smaller families too, Eurocamp often works out better value than a city hotel, especially near Venice, Rome or Lake Garda during summer.
Eurocamp Italy offers the most perfect mix of:
✔ sunshine
✔ beaches
✔ culture
✔ amazing food
✔ brilliant family facilities
✔ great value
Whether you want to explore Rome, wander Venice’s canals, dip in Lake Garda, or relax under the Tuscan sun, there’s a Eurocamp site to match your travel style.
Make 2026 the year you experience the magic of a Eurocamp holiday in Italy!
