Castelnuovo del Garda

Campsites Castelnuovo del Garda: an important crossing point

Like the other villages on Lake Garda, during its history Castelnuovo was controlled by a number of masters (the Della Scala and Visconti families, the Republic of Venice, the Austrian Empire). In 1867 the Municipality took on the name of “Castelnuovo di Verona”, acquiring its current name of “Castelnuovo del Garda” as late as 1970, as a result of the strip of land that reaches right down to the shores of the lake.

Today Castelnuovo del Garda is best known as home to the Gardaland theme park and is rich in facilities such as campsites and villages also close to the amusement park.

Although the town is developed more in the hinterland, there is no shortage of lakeside destinations offering tourists all the services and beauties of Lake Garda.

Choosing Castelnuovo del Garda as a reference point for your holidays allows you to enjoy the same wonders of the towns developed on the shores of the lake with the additional privacy and tranquillity of the Lake Garda inland area.

In ancient times, Castelnuovo was known as “Beneventum”, and later took on the name of “Quadrivium”, as a result of its geographical position, surrounded by the four cities of Verona, Mantua, Brescia and Trento.
In the 12th century, Quadrivium was raised to the ground by Barbarossa. The people of the town then decided to build a new fortified settlement, “Castrum novum”, which over the centuries became Castelnuovo

This central and strategic position still makes it possible to comfortably reach many places, from the most touristic to the most researched. From a campsite in Castelnuovo del Garda you can easily reach the Natura Viva Park, several water parks, the municipalities of Peschiera del Garda and Lazise, the thermal park of Colà di Lazise, the cities of Verona and Mantua and, of course, Gardaland.

These areas offer, in addition to the classic tourist activities of Lake Garda, also the possibility, for those who wish, to disconnect a little from the summer tourist hustle and bustle by treating themselves to a quieter day in the countryside. “Moro del Castel” wine is made from the grapes grown on the morainic hills in the municipality of Castelnuovo del Garda. 

In Castelnuovo del Garda, in addition to many campings, there are also numerous holiday farms that offer the possibility of tasting traditional local food while enjoying the tranquillity of this beautiful countryside, perhaps together with a pleasant bicycle ride along the many roads that cross the blooming fields that are spread throughout the area.

Keeping with the theme of two wheels, starting from a campsite in Castelnuovo del Garda, in a few minutes you can easily reach the two lidos of the municipality: The "Campanello" lakeshore at Campanello, and the "Ronchi" lakeshore offer tourists a series of services and facilities for bathing at Lake Garda.

The choice of a camping in Castelnuovo del Garda is without a doubt the best solution for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the lake without compromising on peace and tranquillity due to its position slightly apart from the more touristic destinations, while still offering the same comfortable services and activities to enjoy during your holidays on Lake Garda.
