  • Quiet, leafy family camping five minutes’ walk from a Lake Garda beach
  • Gardaland Resort 35 minutes’ drive and Verona 50 minutes
  • Swimming pool on site; pizzerias and a supermarket 10 minutes’ walk
You couldn’t get much closer to the shores of Lake Garda without actually being in the water. Yes, staying at Garden Tourist – a leafy campsite immersed in the Mediterranean vegetation typical of the region – puts you a couple of minutes’ stroll from the pebble Romantica Beach at Manerba del Garda. Keen to get out on the water? You’ll be happy to hear that you can hire a boat five minutes’ walk away – and even better, the site has its own boat slip, which all guests can use free of charge. If you want to moor up there, just please be sure to reserve your buoy ahead of time. You’re a landlubber who prefers to stay firmly on dry land? There’s a golf course within 10 minutes’ drive. Family-friendly facilities at this quiet site include a swimming pool with loungers on the sun deck for soaking up the rays, and modern showers with lashings of hot water for when you need to freshen up. Within 10 minutes’ walk you have access to restaurants and family pizzerias, as well as a supermarket if you need to replenish supplies.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Świetny kemping, dużo cienia, basen w którym można się schłodzić. Jezioro bardzo blisko. Na kempingu głównie przyczepy, które są tam na stałe także brak tłumów. Sanitariaty sprzątane bardzo często i mili pracownicy. Stosunek ceny do jakości bardzo korzystny.

Disliked: Brak

Electric grass pitch

Liked: I liked it here. Friendly welcome and good services.

Our pitch was quite close to others but under trees which was a welcome break from the heat.

The campsite is very close to the beach and there are some good restaurants near by.

Disliked: Loud music from some of the long term residents. Not near us but thought it's was quite rude as I passed.

Local attractions

Heritage-baggers might like to head for gorgeous, historic Verona (50 minutes’ drive), where you can wander cobbled streets to the Baroque masterpiece that is the cathedral’s marble interior, hang out in Piazza Bra trattorias, pose on Juliet’s Balcony and attend opera performances (book well in advance) at the ancient Roman Arena. If you’re travelling with kids, they’ll be in seventh heaven: the campsite is near the adrenaline-busting rollercoasters of Gardaland Resort (35 minutes), where younger offspring can visit Legoland and Peppa Pig. Close by, you can all admire seals and colourful tropical fish at Gardaland Sea Life Aquarium, or head for the film sets and themed rides of Movieland Studios (both 40 minutes). After a day of fun-filled action or gentle sightseeing, have a wander down to the lakeside Lungolago Maurizio Olivari (five minutes’ walk) for views of the tree-dotted Isola di San Biagio. If you fancy visiting the island itself, wade across the causeway from Romantica Beach (also five minutes) and take up your place at the waterside bar to watch the colourful sunset over Lake Garda.
