Description

A short distance from the city center, adjacent to the Castle Park and opposite the Hotel Federico II, a sunny municipal parking lot with six reserved asphalt spaces. Camper service is centrally located, with water loading and unloading points for marine toilets.
From the A24 L'Aquila Est exit towards L'Aquila, turn left at the Police Headquarters.

Nearby

Aquila's historic center is a 5-minute walk away, while the Coop supermarket is a 5-minute walk away. Historic villages within a 30-40 km radius include Calaascio, S. Stefano di Sessanio, Castel del Monte, Navelli, and more.

What motorhome travellers say

Camper drivers consider the area well-located for visiting L'Aquila, free of charge and equipped with water loading and unloading facilities. They appreciate its proximity to the historic center and the good lighting, although some complain about the slope, lack of shade, and overcrowding due to resident campers occupying the few available spaces.

I agree with the previous reviews, but unfortunately, there are some campers belonging to local residents occupying the already limited spaces available. I understand that the city doesn't offer many options for campers, but more controls are needed. The historic center is very beautiful and definitely worth a visit.
