5 star camping on Lake Garda

At top-class campsites on Lake Garda, you can relax in the sun and treat yourself to a cocktail at the pool bar. The little ones go to the children's cinema or have fun in the water park and sporty holidaymakers visit the fitness and water sports centre. You will be entertained by professional dance and musical shows and can relax in the whirlpool.

Destinations

One of the **ADAC super campsites **on Lake Garda is Camping Bella Italia in Peschiera del Garda. It is located directly on the pebble beach of the lake and has its own water sports centre, offering stand-up paddling, banana boating, wakeboarding and water skiing. Free windsurfing courses, aerobics classes, swimming and tennis lessons are further extras on site. Another highlight is the professional entertainment programme with games and parties, as well as the high ropes course with six stations. There is a children's cinema especially for the little ones at this luxury campsite. The Piani di Clodia campsite in Lazise is also one of the crème de la crème on Lake Garda. It is located in an idyllic nature park on the shores of the lake, with a sandy and a pebble beach.

In addition to the two water parks with seven pools, there are several pool bars and a whirlpool and, especially for children, there are a variety of slides, current channels, waterfalls and water games. The little ones will also love the well-equipped playgrounds. Dog owners are sure to love the agility course at the campsite. Another 5-star campsite on Lake Garda is Internazionale La Quercia, which is also located in Lazise. In addition to the lake with its sandy beach, there are also three swimming pools for swimming. Adults can make use of the wellness centre or enjoy a cool drink at the beach bar, while children can have fun on the slide. Active holidaymakers can play on one of the sports fields or enjoy a game of mini golf. There is also a fitness centre and tennis courts for exercise enthusiasts. Entertainment is provided by the entertainment programme with sports tournaments, games, dancing and musical shows.

Top tips for quality on the menu

• At a 5-star campsite on Lake Garda, the restaurants should also be adapted to this standard. In Lazise, the Alla Grotta promises extremely good quality products and the Ristorante da Oreste at the harbour has delicious fish dishes on the menu. For traditional cuisine and delicious tortellini, we recommend the Alla Borsa restaurant in Valeggio sul Mincio.
• Delicious Italian drinks from the region are also part of a holiday on Lake Garda: At the Sartori winery, you can sample the flavoursome wines of Cantina Sartori and, if necessary, purchase them in the wine shop. If you prefer delicious grappa and Lake Garda limoncello, you should pay a visit to the historic Marcati family business in Sona.

Excursions and activities

The luxury campsites have so many exciting and unusual things to offer that you will want to spend your entire holiday there. But if there is a spectacular excursion destination on the programme, you will be happy to leave the campsite for a few hours.

A trip on the Siora Veronica

How about your own historic sailing boat for a day? The Siora Veronica, built in 1926, can be hired on Lake Garda for parties or simply for a cruise - whether for a few hours or the whole day. In addition to exclusive hire, the sailing boat can also be used for regular excursions: from Malcesine to Gargnano, for example, or to the truly magical Isola del Garda.

Pure culture in Malcesine

The marvellous 13th century Scaliger Castle in Malcesine is situated on the water and delights visitors with its enchanting views. Those interested in culture will love the Goethe parlour and the natural history and fishing museum inside the castle. Other sights in Malcesine include the Gothic palace - Palazzo dei Capitani - from the 15th century and the baroque church of Santo Stefano with its many paintings.

Back to the time of the Neanderthals

The Grotta di Fumane provides exclusivity, as it is one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe. The cave is located near the town of Fumane in Verona and provides evidence of the existence of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens in the past. This archaeological site is of great importance for research into evolution. During a guided tour or workshop, interesting knowledge is imparted and archaeological finds are brought closer.

Hiking is a pleasure here

There are many opportunities for hiking around Lake Garda, but a tour to the Molina waterfalls in the Lessinia mountains is really something special. Idyllic nature, exciting caves, steep gorges and captivating waterfalls can be marvelled at here. Several themed trails and adventurous bridges guarantee a great experience.

In addition to the odd excursion, events also enrich the 5-star campsite on Lake Garda, for example a New Year's Eve cruise on the lake or historical festivals.
