Recent data on the increase in the number of tourists in the outdoor tourism sector led to the need for greater attention to this phenomenon relating to environmental impact. Campsites and administrations deal with the sustainability Recent data on the increase in the number of tourists in the outdoor tourism sector led to the need for greater attention to this phenomenon relating to environmental impact. Campsites and administrations deal with the sustainability issue regarding land use, climate and landscape, adopting sustainability protocols and applying a sustainable tourism approach. Among the main challenges is the need to deal with the local landscape. Campsites must define settlement systems that find site-specific solutions in compliance with the morphology, climate, and vegetation as environmental impact mitigation strategies. This study examines three case studies of campsites rethinking for environmental protection, starting from the settlement system of the maxi-caravans cluster. La Rocca Camping Village (lake) fits into the landscape following its morphology; Spiaggia e Mare Holiday Park (sea) contrasts the climatic element using a directed settlement; Agriturismo Fattoria la Palagina (hills) replicates the existing landscape by generating an integrated one. The case studies follow fundamental parameters for a landscape approach of campsite design: morphology, land use, biodiversity, sustainability and heritage. The paper aim is to demonstrate the sustainability of outdoor tourism, with respect to the landscape. The research results offer strategies for planning and regeneration of campsites to respond to sustainability issues. or Access Full Article
