Strada Piazzale Bowe, 06129, Perugia
Been here?
This paid motorhome area provides electricity, water and wastewater disposal, but has little shade and is about 1 km from Perugia with a steep climb. Recent stays reported 24 € for 24 hours or 12 € for 12 hours. The single toilet and shower are old, dirty and open only from 8 to 11, with reports of cold shower water. The area is exposed to traffic noise, and the automatic barrier system is not functioning.

Stayed one night, less than a quarter full. Some tips: don't walk to center, or the bus, bus g goes 2 times an hour max, and the time table is more of a suggestion. Call a taxi, maybe 10 euro and in ten minutes you are where you want to be, walking back from Piazza Italia is doable, down hill,not very scenic. One shower only open till midday from 8, be first. Toilet was open earlier.
Area with only the bare essentials. One bathroom and one poorly maintained shower. Shower service available only from 8 to 11. Almost no information. Not worth staying more than one night out of necessity. Perugia deserves better because it is a beautiful city.Translating
Excellent parking area for its location and surroundings. Only three stars because the bathroom and shower are very dirty and open for only a few hours. Electricity, water filling and drainage, and a dishwashing sink are provided; nobody had warned us about them.Translating
The area itself is fine and the price includes electricity, but the bathrooms (one shower and one toilet) are old and not very clean, and the shower water is cold and available only from 8 to 11. You can take the nearby bus to visit the city.Translating
A little expensive for just a car park! Full sun! There are toilets and a shower, but open from 8 to 11?♀️ We cycled up to the city center, which is quite far.Translating
We stayed for two nights during the late-May holiday weekend. The automatic system is no longer working, but the barriers are always raised and the license plate is read on entry. The manager is present from 7 to 12 for check-in and payment, including by card. On Tuesday, there was a street market in the upper parking area.Translating
Arrived today to visit Perugia, conveniently located, many pitches, water filling and drainage, €24 for 24 hours, otherwise €12 for 12 hours. Surrounded by busy roads but quiet overall; I have slept in worse places. I did not consider using the bathrooms because their hours did not suit us. It could be better maintained. Convenient for a couple of nights.Translating
Perfect for sightseeing. The pitch is okay, and so is the cleanliness. It is too expensive since nothing is offered apart from electricity and waste disposal.Translating
Early May 2026... Given the sense of abandonment and poor lighting, I thought it was closed, but the barrier was open and it was accessible; a photocopy there was helpful. For €24 I expect monitored access, a functioning barrier—not just cameras—and perhaps an access ticket. Services and cleanliness: a veil of silence over both. I only go there if I cannot find another solution.Translating
Absolutely terrible pitch. Very expensive, very noisy. And the shower is completely moldy and dirty. We will never come again.Translating
Very convenient parking area for visiting the city, not far from the center and with a bus stop just a few steps away (near the Esso station, line G). The price is excessive (€24 per day) for the services offered: dilapidated bathroom, shower open from 8:00 to 12:00 and practically unusable. Black-water drainage does not work.Translating
Very Disappointed with the facilities at this Area Sosta. 24e for 24 hours. There is ONE toilet for the whole site. It was like a public Urinal, so smelly. There is only ONE shower and it is only open from 8-11am. The attendant was late so not even three hours. The water was cold. No Wifi. It is a disgraceful price to ask for such poor services. There should be at least 2 toilets and 2 showers.
Hello. €24 for one day with electricity. We did not find a toilet or shower. The location is convenient. There is a bus stop up by the gas station, and bus G takes you to the historic center in 13 stops. It is the terminus. You can buy a bus ticket at the gas station. The campsite staff that day were extremely rude.Translating
Motorhome parking, €24 with electricity. We did not use the shower or toilet. A reasonably quiet place. Bus G goes from in front of the service station up to the old town. Tickets can be bought at the service station for €1.30. Bought on the bus, they cost €2. Walking is just under two kilometers, but it is uphill all the way. The bus is an excellent choice and runs every half hour on weekdays. Perugia is a beautiful city and the views from above are wonderful. Dining on the terraces was pleasant, affordable, and good. Truffle pasta!Translating
Good parking for one night. Very noisy because of the constant traffic, but convenient for getting to the center.Translating
Showers open from 8 to 12?!?!? Unheard of. Very, very noisy. Constant traffic. I would say it is the only available option for visiting the city. Friendly staff.Translating
Large pitches, convenient for the city. Services unusable, dirty, and without hot water (shower open for three hours in the morning); the bathroom is used from the afternoon onward by people who are not staying in the area. For €24 for 24 hours, there is a lot to improve. Absolutely convenient for visiting the city, but do not overstay by even a minute or the next 12 hours will be charged.Translating
Maximum freedom; attendants always present in the morning. Fair price for the services provided. I recommend the WOOD restaurant right next to the parking area! Smoked meat worthy of 10 out of 10!Translating
Perfectly located on the edge of the city.Translating
Disgusting bathroom with no toilet seat, paper, or soap. What does your 24 euros go for? They need to fix this. Otherwise it’s relatively convenient for Perugia, about a 20 min bus ride.
Convenient area for visiting the city. You can buy bus tickets (line G) at the Esso station near the parking area. Bathrooms and showers can only be used from 8:00 to 12:00 (January), because nobody is there during the rest of the day. Motorhome service and electricity are fine. A little expensive, but I did not find any other convenient parking areas.Translating
Very convenient motorhome area for visiting the city. Large pitches with electricity hookups. We arrived on Wednesday at 11:50 and were able to enter with the motorhome; nobody was there. Payment was impossible. Tomorrow morning we will find out how to pay.Translating
To access the area you need to pay some attention because there is currently some work underway. Once inside, your license plate is read automatically. I recommend arriving between 8:00 and 12:00; if you want to stay overnight, pay the next morning: 24 hours, €24. Very quiet place, convenient for reaching Perugia center in 10 minutes by bus from the Esso station.Translating
Excellent stopping point for visiting Perugia or simply resting and continuing the journey. Well-equipped parking area, sufficiently large spaces, and excellent water filling and drainage services. The only drawback is the management, especially the 24- or 12-hour issue. We entered at 20:30 and wanted 24 hours plus 12 hours, but they charged us for 48 hours!
The area would not be bad; the pitches are spacious and the drainage point is clean. If you stop for less than 12 hours, the price is €12; one minute later, it is €24! We stopped yesterday at 19:30, left and returned at 22:30. For them, the 12 hours had passed. Payment is open from 8; if you arrive before 20:00, the next 12 hours are charged anyway. We did not use the bathrooms, so I cannot comment.
Only two good things: pitches of a decent size and a double water filling and drainage station. Only one shower open for four hours in the morning and only one bathroom, which toward evening is used by people who have nothing to do with the campers. And remember not to stay even one minute beyond 24 hours, otherwise they charge you another €12.
Located on a busy road, bathrooms open from 8 to 12, and the check-in procedure is unclear. €24 for 24 hours is a little excessive.
Located on a very busy road, and €24 for one night seems far too expensive to me!
Since we were staying only half a day, the manager let us park above, in the area reserved for those who do not need electricity or services. The lower section seems flat and well maintained; the upper section is a little more neglected, with the exit full of very deep potholes. €10, a single rate for 24 hours, even though we stayed just over five hours.
The water filling and drainage area is fairly clean; staff are present only in the morning until 12. Very convenient motorhome area for visiting Perugia, €1 per hour with electricity available. Bus tickets can be bought at the Esso station, and there is a bus stop for the center; take bus G. You reach the center in 20 minutes, and buses run about every 30 minutes.
Fairly convenient parking for reaching the city center. The upper level (divided into two sections) has no access to electricity. Drainage is fairly convenient but not well maintained. Recommended for an overnight stop.
The place itself is okay, level and clean. You pay €12 with electricity for 12 hours, which is enough for a visit to beautiful Perugia. Bus tickets, as described here, are available at the gas station above the parking area; a bus (G) runs twice an hour right beside that same station. The toilet and shower are very poorly maintained, and the toilet was still open today at 2 p.m.
I would define it as a car park with water filling and drainage and an electricity connection. Entry and exit are always open; a camera reads the license plates of vehicles entering, and you can then pay from 8 to 12 to the staff on duty. Bathrooms and showers can only be used from 8 to 12. Wouldn't it be better to operate the automated service instead of keeping the entrance barrier permanently open?
Motorhome area with all services included (water filling/drainage and electricity), €24.00. A little noisy because it is in a busy area. Bus stop for line G to the historic center shortly after the IP and Q8 gas stations; tickets are sold at the gas station bar. The railway station and MiniMetrò are about a 10-minute walk away.
Good parking area, 15 minutes from the MiniMetrò that goes to the town center. Water filling and drainage work well; the price is excessive for what it offers, especially if you do not need an electricity hookup.
The only positive point is the electricity for those who need it. Very noisy at night. I stayed 13 hours and paid €24. I arrived late and it was dark; otherwise, an outside parking area would be a thousand times better.
Clean area with water filling, drainage, and toilets, which are accessible only from 8:00 to 12:00. Price €12 for 12 hours or €24 for 24 hours; additional hours are not taken into account, so we entered at 19:00 and left at 8:00 the next morning, and they asked us for €24 just for one extra hour!
It deserves to exist; it is certainly the best solution for Perugia because the city is difficult to approach with anything over 5 meters long. 12 hours = €12, 24 hours = €24. In October, nobody was there to collect payment outside 8–12... I’m just saying.
Absolutely suitable for sightseeing in the city.
Basically parking with electricity for €24 / 24 hrs including electricity. 12 hrs is also available. IMPORTANT: only one shower with toilet stall and one very basic toilet-only stall are available BUT ONLY from 8am-Noon. What?! Install a code for campers' access! We were initially directed to a bad site, where we didn't even have room to access our camper back doors. We later moved without permission (as the office was closed in the afternoon). Bar/restaurant was closed for most of our visit. Bus (not mini-metro) was very convenient for town but would not likely stay here again due to the bathroom situation. We did use the grey and black dumps and filled with water (but bring your own fresh water hose).
We have rarely been welcomed so rudely! Stays are possible only for 12 or 24 hours. Tuesday is market day. Many of the market workers loitered on the site and used the toilet. The climb to the city is 1 km and very steep; you need to be fit. The sidewalks are narrow and cars race down the hill. We were relieved when our van was still undamaged after four hours. Conclusion: in three weeks in Italy, this was the place that gave us the worst feeling. Secure your vehicles and use your own toilets!
