Campeggio

Campeggio is the Italian word for "camping". It encompasses the activity of residing temporarily in the outdoors, typically using a tent or other temporary shelter. It can refer both to the act of camping and to the location where camping takes place (a campground or campsite). Campeggio is a popular recreational activity in Italy and other parts of the world.

Campeggio may involve various levels of preparation and comfort, ranging from minimalist backcountry camping with minimal equipment to more elaborate "glamping" experiences with amenities like pre-erected tents, comfortable beds, and access to facilities. The specific activities undertaken during campeggio can vary greatly depending on individual preferences, ranging from hiking and fishing to simply relaxing and enjoying nature.

In Italy, "campeggio libero" refers to wild camping, or camping outside of designated campsites. Regulations regarding campeggio libero vary by region and are often restricted to protect natural areas and prevent environmental damage. It is important to research and comply with local regulations before engaging in campeggio libero in Italy. Formal campgrounds, known as "campeggi," typically offer amenities such as toilet facilities, showers, electricity, and water hookups.
