On the eastern shore of Lake Garda is Camping Du Parc. And that in a particularly convenient location: the center of the medieval village is just 300 meters away and in the vicinity there is really an awful lot to do and see. Camping Du Parc is a real family campsite: there are several swimming pools, fun entertainment, tasty restaurants and above all, it is not too massive here, so you can always keep an overview. You will probably run out of days here to discover the whole area, because both on foot, by bike, on horseback and by water, there are many special places here that you will never forget.
We start close to the campsite: the medieval village of Lasize is 300 meters away. The village has a long history; this place was already inhabited in the Bronze Age. But during the Middle Ages, Lasize experienced its glory days, and you will notice that when you walk through the narrow, characteristic alleys here. Like going back in time. Visit the thirteen towers, the three entrance gates, the castle and especially the picturesque little port of Porto Vecchio. This one offers you a view of the “Dogana,” the customs. Especially in the summer, many events take place here, mostly related to history. Furthermore, of course, Lake Garda itself has much to offer. Besides the many historic towns, you will also find a number of amusement parks, such as Gardaland, Sea Life, Canevaworld and Parco Natura Vida. By the way, one of those historic towns is Peschiera del Garda, which is a World Heritage Site according to UNESCO. Slightly further away but still not far away is Verona, where Romeo and Juliet is set. The village of Bardolino is famous for its ice cream and other delicacies typical of this region. Head to Piazza Matteotti square and eat your ice cream at Cristallo.
Thus, the campground is located directly on the eastern end of Lake Garda and, as a camper, it is possible to pitch your tent or caravan right on the water’s edge. The campground has several areas, including one with a lake view. This campground houses mostly lots of greenery, and the pitches measure around 90 square meters. These are all equipped with electricity and some also have water and drainage. At the sanitary buildings you can also wash your clothes: washing machines and dryers are available -for a fee. These washrooms are kept exceptionally clean.
Bungalows and mobile homes, mobile homes and cottages. The bungalows all have a large living room, a kitchenette, two bedrooms and one or two bathrooms and an outdoor terrace as well as both heating and air conditioning. Of course, even in the cottages you have the opportunity to have a view of the lake. The campground has many trees, ensuring shade. Moreover, you have plenty of privacy here. The accommodations are all tiptop and can be rented through various providers.
Camping Du Park has three spacious pools, a children’s pool with slide and a whirlpool. Don’t expect a huge spectacle here, but mostly refreshment. Surrounding the pool is a sizeable sunbathing area and catering facilities. The same goes for the beach on Lake Garda itself, where of course you can also take a refreshing dip. Near the campground are a number of amusement parks, the biggest of which is Caneva if you’re looking for a little more spectacle.
A large, covered terrace, on Lake Garda. At Restaurant Lido, you will see the most insane sunsets. This restaurant serves mostly food with local ingredients. The menu varies, with meat, fish and also vegetarian dishes. Pizza, of course, is not missing. The restaurant is somewhat pricey, but very good quality. More hospitality can be found, such as at the pool bar, by the pool. Here you can get drinks, snacks and ice cream. The Kiosk is the same concept, but located on the lake. There is regular live music here. There is also a bar at the campground, where you can drink local wines such as the Laguna, Bardolino, Custoza, Valpolicella and Amarone.
Children won’t get bored easily at Camping Du Parc, as the animation team here really makes a go of it. Animation takes place mainly around the playground by the lake, where, by the way, there are also camping spots. A good tip is to avoid these spots, although again the entertainment is not particularly loud. For adults, sports activities such as yoga and acquarobics are mainly offered. There are also regular music evenings.
With Lake Garda right next to the campsite, you naturally think of water sports. At water ski school Gardawake, you can learn wakeboarding, water skiing, parasailing and flyboarding. Or take the kids on a banana boat: hilarity guaranteed. Of course, the area lends itself perfectly to cycling, and you can rent those at this school as well. The campground itself has a gym and you can even use a personal trainer. Moreover, you can play the calibrated sports, such as volleyball and soccer.
The campground itself has a minimarket, with fresh bread daily. In addition, they sell local and national products here, such as meats and cheeses. In the evening, don’t feel like going to a restaurant or cooking for yourself? In this store you also buy ready-made dishes. There are several larger supermarkets in the immediate area, so you don’t have to worry too much about running out of anything either.
Take the cable car from Malcesine to Monte Baldo. This is the highest mountain around Lake Garda, which gives you unlikely views. In clear weather, you have views of the Dolomites on one side and the Po Valley on the other. A must is to go to lookout point Cime di Ventrar, where you may have the ultimate view. That this mountain is high is seen especially in winter. Then the summit is snow-covered and a ski resort.
