About Uni Camping

The site began as a set of notes kept while working out which Italian roads a long vehicle can actually use. It covers four things: what an area di sosta provides and how it differs from a campsite, how the limited-traffic zones in the historic centres work, what the high passes ask of a long wheelbase, and what the country is like in the months when the coast is shut.

Everything here is written in English. Italian words appear where they are the right word — sosta, campeggio, varco, strade bianche — and are explained the first time they are used.

What this site is not

It is not a booking service, a campsite directory or a legal reference. Hours, limits, permits and closures are set locally and change; the numbers quoted in the guides are given as the published figures at the time of writing, and the sign at the entrance always outranks anything written here.

There is no advertising sold on the strength of a recommendation. The businesses in the supporters block pay for the mark and nothing else — they have no say in what the guides say, and they are not campsites.

How the site is organised

Four sections, four guides each. The sections page lists every one, and the register carries the complete roster in one table. If you are starting from nothing, start with the measurements.
