The best choice depends on who you travel with. Families with children do well at a site with a pool, entertainment and a safe play area; those seeking quiet should pick a smaller site or a spot away from the crowds. With a dog, it pays to check the pet policy first.

Comparing amenities in Lake Garda

What amenities a campsite offers often makes the difference. In Lake Garda, look for clean sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, on-site dining and shopping and, with children, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment. Each detail page lists what's available.

Also note the pitch type. A comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities and a water connection costs more but adds convenience; a simple nature pitch is cheaper and quieter. Travelling by motorhome, check for a service point and sufficient electricity (amperage).
