Right now we are testing camping on Lake Garda in Italy. We are on the south-west side of Garda, at Piantelle camping. The motorhome is full of wine from the best Valpolicella and we have Lake Garda next to us. Join us on a camping trip on Lake Garda in Italy and the Piantelle campsite in text and pictures!

ShareLiving in a motorhome on a farm
When we were wine tasting in the wine valleys of Valpolicella, we drove in the evening to a farm in Colá called Ca´Donzella. After asking if we could eat in the farm's restaurant, it was also possible to stay overnight in the motorhome at no extra cost.

Motorhome parking in Sirmione

After two nights without electricity we started to miss music, video games, computer and phones. In addition, we have a 13-year-old who longed for a pool ...
Camping at Lake Garda

It is clearly more affordable to stand on a pitch, but right now it has to be camping even if we feel like a little involuntary campers ...
