Summer is the perfect season to break free from everyday routines and set off on an adventure with your rooftop tent. Here are three recommended itineraries that will lead you to breathtaking views, wild nature, and unforgettable nights—the unmistakable CampUp way of living the outdoors.
1. On the Road in Southern France: From Provence to Camargue
Imagine yourself driving along the lavender-colored roads of Provence, weaving through perched villages like Roussillon, famous for their ochre houses and “almost American” canyons. Make a stop along the banks of the Sorgue river, where you can refresh yourself and enjoy the tranquil silence interrupted only by the breeze and the views over the Luberon valley. Continue towards the magical atmosphere of the Camargue: pink salt flats, flamingos, lavender fields, and charming villages like Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Don’t miss a night by the sea at Camping Sunêlia le Clos Du Rhône, just steps away from the beach—a perfect “plein air” base for your adventure.
Suggested activities: Hike among the ochre quarries at sunset, cycle through the flamingo-filled wetlands of the Camargue, and unwind in the pools of your selected campsites.
2. Handpicked Tuscany: Panoramic Spots Between Sea and Hills
Tuscany offers endless opportunities to those seeking a camping spot with stunning views. One recommended route starts along the Tyrrhenian coast, from Marina di Castagneto Carducci to the heart of the Maremma. Here you'll find campsites and glamping sites nestled in the pine forests, such as Camping Village Etruria, which allow you to camp right on the beach, with postcard-worthy sunsets over the sea. Drive your car up to these spots, set up your rooftop tent among the pines only meters from the water, and enjoy golden sunrises and breezy evenings by the coast.
Suggested activities: Cycle the scenic Via Bolgherese, spend a day at the beach, savor panoramic sunsets from your tent pitch, and taste local wines in charming nearby villages.
3. Marche and Umbria: Wild Nights Among Apennines and Villages
For those who crave true adventure, the border between Marche and Umbria offers spectacular routes through the Monte Cucco Natural Park and up to the Sibillini Mountains. Start from Gubbio and climb towards Pian delle Macinare, where you can set up basecamp under the stars, surrounded by woods and uplands. Here, a night on your CampUp Karma becomes a pure experience: total silence, clear skies, and in the morning, awe-inspiring views of the Umbrian-Marchean peaks. Continue towards Fabriano, exploring canyons and streams and giving space to all sorts of outdoor activities: trekking, MTB, e-biking, or rustic picnics in a landscape unchanged by time.
Suggested activities: Hike in the Monte Cucco or Sibillini Parks, visit historic abbeys, swim in crystal-clear streams, and enjoy an open-air “wild” dinner of local delicacies.
Traveling these routes with your rooftop tent means choosing a new horizon every day, enjoying the freedom to stop wherever the view inspires, and bringing everything you need for magical nights beneath the stars and unforgettable awakenings.
