What does a lakeside holiday in a monastery garden look like? Rather splendid. Camping Toscolano, a 4-star site on the western shore of Lake Garda, spreads over 5 hectares of cypress shade and olive-grove calm, in the grounds of a 14th-century monastery. The lake is on your doorstep, and the promenade leads you to the centre of Toscolano Maderno in a short stroll.
Where will you sleep? Choose a mobile home with air conditioning, kitchen and TV, with final cleaning and bedding included, or bring your own tent, caravan or camper to a spacious pitch with electricity. Across the 342 places, toilets and showers are open 24 hours a day, coin-operated washing machines and dryers are on hand, and campers have a motorhome service point.
And what about the children? Plenty. A separate paddling pool sits beside the main pool, the beach slopes gently into the water, and in high season a mini club and daytime animation entertain ages 3 to 14. Add a playground, football field and table tennis, and young families and couples have everything for an easy-going stay.
Beyond the gate, Il Vittoriale in Gardone is 5 km away, Gardaland about 45 km and Verona about 70 km. A car ferry from Maderno to Torri del Benaco lets you cross the lake with your own car. Back home, enjoy local dishes at the restaurant, in the historic building or on terraces by the pool, followed by a sunset cocktail at the beach kiosk.

The surroundings
Toscolano Maderno sits on a promontory between the port of Toscolano and the Gulf of Maderno, inside the green Parco Alto Garda Bresciano. Behind the broad lakeside plain, the Monte Pizzocolo range rises as a mountain backdrop, while the campsite nestles among cypress trees and olive groves within old monastery walls. Families can visit the Valle delle Cartiere, a valley of historic paper mills, and Il Vittoriale in Gardone is only 5 km away. Salò and Gardone Riviera are close by, and Brescia lies about 40 km away, so lake, mountains and city culture all fit into one holiday.

Tip from our team
We recommend booking a mobile home: air conditioning, kitchen and TV are included, plus final cleaning and bedding, so arrival day is pure holiday. Bring a swimming cap for the pool; swim shorts are welcome too. We suggest packing swimming shoes for the pebbly parts of the lake beach, where the gentle descent suits little ones. Take the car ferry from Maderno to Torri del Benaco, and your own car comes along for the lake crossing. We recommend visiting Il Vittoriale in Gardone early, only 5 km away, and continuing to Salò for lunch. Plan Gardaland, about 45 km and 50 minutes by car, as a full-day trip with an early start. Our tip for a different kind of day: explore the Valle delle Cartiere, a valley of old paper mills. Ask reception about guided hikes, and rent bikes or e-scooters on site. Visit the beach kiosk between early June and mid-September for a sunset cocktail. Flying in? Verona Villafranca is 85 km away.
