Compared to the numbers going to Spain Italy isn't that popular apart from perhaps the Italian Lakes area. By all means try another thread but I suggest making it specific, such as visiting Sorrento or wherever.Still finding my way around this site.
Would I have got more response had I posted in Motorhome Chat?
We stayed at Camping Nube d'Argento in Sorrento earlier this year.

We stayed at Nube d'Argento in Sorrento with our 7.5m vsn. Never sgain! Last 5 miles was nerve-wracking what with tourist buses in the middle of the road and suicidal scooter riders overtaking everything.
And the entrance into and out of the site is very steep and twisty. Ok going down but very difficult back up when you can't get a run at it.
We were only intending to stay for 4 days but it took us a week to pluck up the courage to try to get out. My advice is to stay at a site near Pompei and get the train into Sorrento.
Thanks for that.....methinks I will avoid that site...I try to avoid stress if I can and that sounds like mega stress to me.
Thanks again.
Well now I am undecided ......maybe stay further away and get train in to the sites...is that feasible?On the basis of that you'd better not try to traverse any Italian towns by road then. The area around Sorrento has its moments but it's not a lot different to any other built up place in Italy. Fiat Pandas and scooters everywhere and everybody push push pushing. After a day or two you start push push pushing yourself and it becomes a lot easier because you're bigger than a Fiat Panda or a scooter
Given the choice between camping in a resort like Sorrento or in a suburb of Naples like Pompeii I know what I'd choose every time, but only you know what's right for you.

If you mean the Roman sites, the railway runs very close to both, but it stops at Sorrento, so for the Amalfi Coast you need a bus and/or ferry to get you there and back because attempting to drive there in a MH is a bit silly. I reckon the local bus drivers are actually prisoners who get their sentences reduced if they can endure a year of driving the Amalfi route . There's a bus terminus outside Sorrento station so that's no bother, and ferries go in all directions from the harbour. Sorrento is by the sea and it's geared up for keeping you entertained in the evening, whereas I'm not sure if that applies to Pompeii, which is a stunning historic site but it's a bit of a one trick pony.
Anyway, my experience of traffic was based on a September trip when it was still the tourist high season - you've said you're going in March, which I'm sure will be more sedate.
