We stayed at Camping La Ca near Padenghe sul Garda last year at the end of May and the beginning of June. Quite a nice site but it is terraced with a difficult access to some pitches. I found it best to have a lake level pitch.
We travelled with our caravan from Harwich to Hook, stopping at Delft,and then via Germany (the Eifel, Wertheim and Regensberg) to Austria (Linz and Graz) and then on to Slovenia (Ljubljana and Ankaran) before travelling to Lake Garda. The distance between stops was about 150 to 200 miles.
The return was by way of the Brenner Pass to Innesbruck (camping at Weer), then Germany (Camping Cap Rotach at Friedrickshaven - Very expensive! - 42 euros per night), Nancy in France (very cheap! - 18 euros per night), Maastricht and then Delft (again) in Holland.
Altogether an eight week trip.
Just a comment, when travelling to and from Lake Garda, avoid the week-ends as there is a German holiday at the end of May (Whitsuntide?) and the Brenner motorway gets very crowded. It took us 7 hours to travel the 200 miles from Padenghe to Weer with lots of stop-starts at every junction.

We stayed at Camping Lido Sassabanek a long time ago, weird that the pitches were arranged in circles like a dartboard. Cars were left in carpark. We were looking at Camping Covelo for about a week end of may, making our way back from Florence.

We have been visiting Lake Garda for the last 9yrs.

Look at 'Nanzel', Limone.
It's on the northern part (very scenic)....the south nr Sirmione is more convenient if towing.

Nanzel is located out of town...15min walk into the buzzing touristy bit.

Nanzel is family owned...limited pitches because people return every year.

Hope this helps.

We always went to France but since going that bit further to Italy has brought a different perspective.
France seems to be more on the ball with their camping sites but Italy makes up for it in their wonderful culture, friendly approach and food.
Love, love, love Italy and the Italians

We ended up back at Camping Baia Verde at Manerba del Garda. It is a much bigger site than the last time we went here as they have taken over another site which was next to it. The pitch we had was three from the gate out onto the lake promenade. Had water,drainage and electric on pitch. A bit of a squeeze to get van, awning and car on pitch, so we parked car a short distance away in designated parking bays. Had a great 9 day stay there.
