Friuli-Venezia Giulia sits at Italy's north-eastern corner, where the Alps meet the Adriatic Sea across just 7,858 square kilometres — making it one of the country's smallest yet most geographically diverse regions. From the port city of Trieste, perched on the Slovenian border, to the mountain village of Sauris at over 1,000 metres above sea level, you can cross the entire region in under two hours by road (roughly 170 km). The Tagliamento, one of the last free-flowing rivers in the Alps, winds through the heart of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, while the lagoon of Grado and the golden sands of Lignano Sabbiadoro stretch along the coast. Inland, the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park offers dramatic limestone peaks and forested valleys, and the medieval town of Cividale del Friuli — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — rewards you with Lombard-era temples and a striking Devil's Bridge. Wine lovers can explore the Collio hills near Gorizia, where white grape varieties like Friulano and Ribolla Gialla thrive on sun-drenched slopes. The distance from Udine, the regional capital, to the alpine border town of Tarvisio is around 100 km, opening up easy access to Austria and Slovenia. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners across Friuli-Venezia Giulia, choosing from a range of vehicles that suit everything from coastal weekends to alpine adventures.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia is wonderful from late spring through to autumn. May and June bring warm days ideal for driving through the Collio vineyards or along the Adriatic coast, while the Barcolana regatta in Trieste each October draws thousands and fills the gulf with sails. Summer is perfect for seaside stops at Lignano Sabbiadoro and Grado, with campsites fully open and long daylight hours for exploring. Book early for July and August — it is the most popular season. Shoulder months like September offer quieter roads and harvest festivals across the wine country. With Yescapa, you benefit from peer-to-peer pricing, often finding better rates on campervan hire outside peak weeks.
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travellers.
This 80 km loop through Friuli-Venezia Giulia's premier wine country winds from Gorizia into the Collio hills, passing Cormòns and Dolegna del Collio. Ideal for a campervan, with vineyard stops and agriturismi along quiet country lanes. Allow 3–5 days to savour the pace.
Cover 90 km along Friuli-Venezia Giulia's coast from Lignano Sabbiadoro to Grado, crossing the lagoon nature reserves in between. Campsites with full hook-ups sit right behind the dunes. A relaxed 3–6 day trip suited to motorhomes and campervans alike.
A 320 km circuit from Udine into the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park, taking in Forni di Sopra and the Campanile di Val Montanaia. Mountain roads suit smaller campervans best. Plan 5–8 days to include hikes and riverside wild-swimming spots in Friuli-Venezia Giulia's highlands.
Stretch 150 km across Friuli-Venezia Giulia from Trieste up onto the Karst Plateau, visiting the Grotta Gigante and the castle at Duino. The route suits all vehicle sizes, with well-maintained roads and scenic viewpoints over the gulf. Allow 4–7 days for a thorough exploration.
This 400 km trail loops through Friuli-Venezia Giulia's foothills, linking Cividale del Friuli, the Castello di Arcano and San Daniele del Friuli — famous for its prosciutto. Motorhome-friendly roads and regular service areas make for a comfortable 6–9 day journey.
The full 560 km circuit covers coast, plains, and Alps — from Trieste and Grado to Tarvisio and the Friulian Dolomites. Mix campsites with sosta areas over 9–15 days. A campervan or motorhome gives you the freedom to linger wherever Friuli-Venezia Giulia surprises you most.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia offers campsites from the Adriatic shoreline right up to the Julian Alps. Coastal sites near Lignano Sabbiadoro and Grado provide spacious pitches with electric hook-ups, modern shower blocks, and direct beach access — perfect for motorhomes and campervans. Inland, lakeside and mountain campsites around Trasaghis and Tarvisio sit among forests and rivers, often with smaller, quieter pitches suited to campervans. Many sites across Friuli-Venezia Giulia also welcome dogs and offer Wi-Fi.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia's motorway network includes the A4 (linking Venice to Trieste) and the A23 (heading north from Udine towards Austria via Tarvisio). Tolls apply on these routes and you pay at booths by cash, card, or Telepass. Motorhomes and campervans over 3.5 tonnes are classed as heavy vehicles, with lower speed limits of 100 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on dual carriageways. Rest areas with dedicated larger-vehicle parking appear regularly along the A4. Mountain roads towards the Friulian Dolomites and Sauris can be narrow and winding, so a compact campervan is often the more comfortable choice for alpine passes.
The trip was amazing. Francesca, the owner, helped us a lot and was always available. The van was really good, with big space inside. Highly recommended.
Dominique is a wonderful, kind and attentive host. The van was perfect, clean and cosy. We loved the trip even though the high altitude passes were very scary especially as we are driving on the wrong side of the road!
Andre couldn’t have been more helpful, plus he is a positive, warm individual. The camper was superb in every way, hygienic, beautiful handling and equipped with everything needed, no silly extras for bedding. Brand new mattresses that were so comfortable and all the windows had bug netting so nothing could get in or bite us. Will definitely do this again, PLUS great value. Very very happy with service and equipment
Very nice owners, kind and flexible! The camper van was easy to understand, and comfortable to use - above expectation. Thank you!!
Paloma was a pleasure to drive and really comfortable for our family of four. The van was equipped with everything we needed, beds were spacious and had safety nets, the shower and toilet were very handy, there was plenty of storage space and lots of room to move around. Susana was really helpful and accommodating and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip. The only disappointing aspect is that the fridge did not work, and the freezer only worked when plugged in. While the freezer was ok for keeping some items cool, it did make things considerably more difficult for us - we were travelling with 2 young children and cooked for ourselves most evenings. It was frustrating having to visit a shop every day/every other day and we ended up having to bin quite a lot of food. It is a shame this wasn't mentioned in the listing as it would have impacted our decision to book the van. Every other aspect was faultless and despite the issue with the fridge we had a really wonderful 2 week adventure in Paloma. We would definitely recommend if you are happy to operate without a fridge and can rely on the freezer.
Great experience driving the van around Mallorca, absolutely beautiful place. The van drove very well, fully equipped and Juan is super friendly with great communication. Would fully recommend.
