Between Saló and San Felice del Banaco, on Lake Garda in Italy, is Camping Weekend Glamping Resort. The campground is not located directly on Lake Garda; a steep path down the lake takes you to its shores. And because it is therefore slightly higher, from the campsite you have an insane view of Lake Garda, the Alpine peaks and the many greenery of this area. When darkness falls in the evening, the lights of all the villages on Lake Garda turn on, creating an enchanting picture that you can witness from the pool, from the restaurant or simply from your own tent or accommodation. Camping Weekend is located in the less touristy part of Lake Garda, in a beautiful green area with olive trees and close to wineries. And has all the luxuries to make it a wonderful vacation.
Looking out from your whirlpool onto one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe: the surroundings of this campground are to be put through a hoop. That lake is characterized by its deep blue color. Add to that the rolling green hills and imposing Alpine peaks, with the many picturesque towns and historic castles, and you have a setting to make your mouth water. Undertake a trekking through the park of the Rocca di Manerba. Cycle (or hike) along the various nature trails and encounter archaeological finds. The most important ones you behold in the Archaeological Civic Museum of Valtenesi, with remains of up to 10,000 years old, from Pieve, Rocca, San Sivino and Sasso. Fine villages on the coast are San Felse del Benaco, Portese and Cicaon, in an area with very old farmhouses. These are connected by biking and hiking trails, so you’ll encounter them as you take a trip. Camping Weekend is in a fascinating location, overlooking the Gulf of Saló. A walk along the Lungulago Zanardelli promenade in Saló is heart-pounding fun. You will find several restaurants. For somewhat further trips, consider world cities such as Milan, Venice and Verona.
Camping Weekend is a terraced campground about five acres in size. Substantial pitches are offered for your tent, caravan or camper. Those spots are shady, thanks to the many olive trees. There are fantastic views of the lake from several spots. The pitches have electricity, drinking water and drainage. Considering taking your dog on vacation? They are most welcome. There is even an agility course built for them and a special washing area. By the way, the campground is betting heavily on glamping, with all its luxuries.
As mentioned, the campground is betting heavily on glamping. The name of the campground is Weekend Glamping Resort for a reason. These accommodations range from luxurious to adventurous -the latter, by the way, are also luxurious. There are also luxuriously furnished mobile homes and chalets. Will you soon be drinking your wine on your patio during the setting sun? The campsite is great for families with small children, as well as for a romantic stay as a couple. That doesn’t have to get in each other’s way either, of course.
So Lake Garda is a short walk away, but the campsite itself also has swimming pools. These are for the whole family: children can romp with the slide and play equipment, adults can swim laps and relax on the side. There you will also find catering facilities, for your cocktail or snack. The whirlpools provide relaxation. The animation team provides many fun activities in the pools, but more on that later. It is good to know that a swim cap is mandatory in the pool. Of course, you can descend to Lake Garda through the steep path and lie on the pebble beach and take a refreshing dip in Lake Garda.
No, you certainly won’t starve here. There is a bar & restaurant, with a traditional wood oven that prepares the most delicious pizzas. Of course there are choices, as are meat and fish. The restaurant uses the best local products, with typical Italian flavors. Moreover, there is a very extensive wine cellar, with the most delicious Italian wines. From the restaurant you have a view of the pool and lake. In the afternoon, feel free to grab a snack, cocktail or delicious homemade ice cream here. There are also several restaurants in the area; just stroll around the surrounding villages and you are bound to find one of those picturesque restaurants.
Meet Spotty, the camping mascot. Stay up to date with all the entertainment at this campground through the daily newspaper, hilariously named Gazetta dello Spot. Yes, the animation at this campground is fat. A mini club with entertainment, evening shows, creative activities, sports tournaments, aquarobics and more: a very wide program is offered, for children and also for adults. Recently there is also Spotty’s house; an indoor playground with slides, playhouses, swings, giant toy buildings, games and a TV corner. A true paradise for children.
At the campground is the Adventure park. A wonderful area for children who like to play, climb and scramble. With toy animals, a real cable car and numerous excursions to experience the area. In the summer months, you can go pony riding here and there are more outdoor activities for children. But there are also still three playgrounds, where the children can do their thing. In addition, there are soccer fields, tennis, table tennis and on Lake Garda opportunities for water sports. Of course, you can rent a bike here and explore the area by pedal. Hikes are also highly recommended in the area. There are several routes, which you can ask at the reception desk.
There is a small grocery store at the supermarket, with a rich variety of products. Fresh is the magic word here: bread, croissants, fresh-squeezed orange juice, meats, beverages, fruits and vegetables. In addition, Italian specialties are sold or, for example, a large selection of games, which can be played in the pool or among the olive trees. Also, not far from the campground is a larger supermarket.
Day trips are offered by the campground to Gardaland, Aqua Paradise and Sigurtà Park, play and water parks in the area. Lake Garda is famous for it. These water parks are all spectacular and well worth a visit.
