Italy for me From Italy with love
Campsites on Lake Garda (Lago di Garda) with cabin rates from €80 to €160 are popular with romantics and families with children. Italy’s largest expanse of water lulls you to sleep at night and relaxes you by day.
The lake offers breathtaking scenery and a wealth of leisure opportunities: hiking in the mountains and to nearby villages, swimming in crystal-clear water, cycling and boating on the lake, and visiting the Gardaland amusement park on the eastern shore. On the pebble and sandy beaches, you can watch ducks and swans swimming and fish splashing in the shallows.
Most campsites around the lake provide free parking and a variety of accommodation options: from tent and campervan pitches to comfortable cabins. Parking is generally free, and you’ll find accessible Wi-Fi, restaurants and shops, and sports activities for both children and adults.
