5 star camping in Italy

ADAC Super Pitches in Italy are extremely popular. With their spacious pitches, well-maintained sanitary facilities and a wide range of leisure activities, these upmarket sites cater for the most discerning tastes. The quality standards of these campsites are reassessed and tested every year. Only those that score well with inspectors and holidaymakers alike are awarded the coveted 5-star seal of approval.

Destinations

South Tyrol, Veneto, Trentino, Liguria, Tuscany and Sardinia - Italy enchants with its beautiful regions. Whether on the coast, inland, near historic towns or on one of the upper Italian lakes - the luxurious way of camping can be found almost everywhere. There are particularly many comfortable campsites in Veneto. The 5-star campsites in north-east Italy are not only easily accessible, they are also located directly on the shallow beaches of the 150 km long Adriatic coast. The water in the pools of these well-equipped campsites also glistens crystal blue. A particularly attractive ADAC Superplatz is the Union Lido Vacanze. Pitches lined with pine and palm trees are grouped around a water paradise. Families with children and, thanks to the nearby dog beach, animal lovers will feel at home at this campsite.

The northern Italian lakes are a favourite destination for many generations of campers. In addition to Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore, which has a more sophisticated feel, is also a favourite for luxury camping. In Fondotoce di Verbania, the Camping Village Isolino enchants with its creative leisure programme. Tuscany, with its cypress avenues, vineyards and olive groves, has been attracting campers with high standards for decades. The 5-star Norcenni Girasole Club is located in the heart of this multifaceted landscape on a terraced and richly overgrown meadow. Equipped with a heated and partly covered pool, the site impresses with its wide range of leisure activities, including a wellness and fitness centre, a soundproof discotheque and an amphitheatre.

Activities and excursions

The leisure activities on offer depend on the location of the 5-star campsite in Italy. Active motorhome travellers such as mountaineers, hikers and mountain bikers are drawn to the mountains of South Tyrol or Lake Garda, while culture lovers are drawn to the famous cities of Venice, Rome or Florence. Bathing holidaymakers and families with children feel at home in the sophisticated camping towns in Veneto or Sardinia ### Water fun for everyone The upmarket campsites on the Veneto coast offer their guests pool landscapes with huge pools, water slides and wellness areas. These water parks are enriched by so-called aquaparks at the gates of the campsites. Popular aqua parks can be found in Lido di Jesolo and Caorle. Sailing trips, banana boat trips and water skiing excursions can be booked on the Adriatic coast. ### Historic city views Italy's cities attract culture lovers. Most upmarket campsites offer bus tours to the historic cities. In Rome, a visit to the Vatican, St Peter's Basilica and the Colosseum is a must. In Tuscany, Pisa and Florence are tempting. The historic metropolises are best explored on foot by motorhome drivers. There are some upmarket campsites on the outskirts of the cities. Veneto enchants with Venice, Milan and Verona. A special highlight is a boat trip to the lagoon city of Venice### Island feeling on Capri In the Gulf of Naples, the glittering island of Capri attracts travellers for day trips and longer stays. Holidaymakers can reach the rocky island by boat from Naples, which is only 5 km away. Capri has been one of Italy's most fashionable holiday islands since the last century and is a place of longing for romantics. Mysterious grottos can be explored on Capri, the most famous of which is the Blue Grotto ### Umbria - the green heart of Italy Beyond the coast, Umbria casts a spell over adventurous motorhome drivers. From the campsites in this region, excursions to the beautiful Marmore waterfalls near Terni are well worthwhile. The river Nera that feeds them is also a popular destination for canoeists and kayakers.
