Lake Garda is most often associated with holidays in July and August. However, for many people, spring, June, or early autumn can be a much more pleasant time to travel to northern Italy. Temperatures are more conducive to sightseeing, the promenades are quieter, and relaxation can be more easily combined with excursions in the surrounding area. A good place for such a stay is Piani di Clodia, a five-star holiday park located directly on Lake Garda, near Lazise.

If Italian holidays primarily evoke images of Garda, Tuscany, or the Adriatic coast, Liguria is also worth considering.

Lake Garda is one of those Italian regions you can return to again and again, each time enjoying a slightly different holiday. The southern part of the lake is particularly popular with families. Here, you'll find towns like Lazise, Peschiera del Garda, Desenzano del Garda, and Sirmione, nestled on the characteristic peninsula. There are also amusement parks, cycling trails, boat trips on the lake, and, above all, a wide selection of well-equipped campsites.

Tuscany is primarily associated with rolling hills, vineyards, cypress-lined avenues, and towns brimming with historic monuments. However, it's worth remembering that the region also boasts a long coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea, sandy beaches, and excellent campsites. Choosing a camping holiday in Tuscany allows you to combine several completely different vacation options. Relax on the beach one day, explore Pisa, Florence, or Siena the next, and stay at the campsite and spend the entire day by the pool the next.
