ADAC and ANWB: here are the best Italian campsites according to German and Dutch

As every year, the German ADAC and the Dutch ANWB have compiled the rankings of the best campsites in Europe. For Italy, each of the two associations has extrapolated the structures that have received the broadest consents.

ADAC has collected the evaluations of its users. “Camping and Italy are two words that go hand in hand,” writes the association. “German campers are attracted form ‘the boot‘ year after year, and certainly not since yesterday. But where exactly? We were curious and used our data to evaluate which Italian campsites were the most popular with PiNCAMP users in 2020”.

As for the ANWB, on the other hand, the rankings were obtained as a result of direct checks. “The ANWB is the only party in the Netherlands to carry out complete camping inspections in Europe,” they wrote. “The inspectors assess sanitary facilities, grounds, swimming, recreation and shops & catering. You can earn points with these ratings. Because many campers find sanitary facilities important, this counts more heavily in the final score. The maximum achievable is 5 stars. Campsites with this score receive the ANWB ‘Topcamping’ designation. They have beautiful toilet facilities, great grounds and lots of amenities”.

The only Italian structures to appear in both Top 10 are the Camping Village Marina di Venezia and the Camping Piani di Clodia, classified respectively in 3^rd  and 4^th place according to ADAC and 4^th and 8^thaccording to ANWB.

Here are the Top 10 Italian campsites according to ADAC/PiNCAMP campers’ ratings:
