The campsites of Lago di Garda Camping are breaking new ground with a vision of hospitality that is accessible to all guests, regardless of age, physical or mental limitations, or special needs. Four-legged family members are explicitly welcome as well. The goal is to create places where a vacation in nature can happen free from barriers and full of possibilities.
A Network for Accessibility at Lake Garda
The Camping Bergamini in Peschiera del Garda and the Camping Village San Francesco in Desenzano have joined the quality network Village for All . This Europe-wide initiative supports tourism businesses in designing their offerings to be usable by as many people as possible. "An accessible vacation means being able to choose freely, without having to explain yourself, adapt, or go without. For that, information must be transparent and accessible to everyone," says Elena Oppizzi, General Manager of Lago di Garda Camping.
Inclusion begins in the digital space. Many campsites offer websites that are clearly structured, designed with high contrast, and equipped with voice assistants . This allows guests with visual impairments or reading difficulties to plan their stay independently.
On-Site Improvements
Numerous improvements have also been implemented on-site over the past few years. Newly constructed pathways, accessible mobile homes, and pools with lifting equipment make the facilities easier to use for everyone. The IdeaLazise and Du Parc properties feature specially equipped accommodations for guests with disabilities. Orientation is supported by tactile guidance systems, tactile maps, and information panels with NFC technology that deliver additional details via smartphone . Restaurant offerings are also tailored to the needs of diverse guests. Menus in Braille, easy-to-understand pictograms, and adapted menu options allow for independent choices. Hospitality is reflected not only in architecture but also in the nature of every encounter. Traditional reception counters have in many places been replaced by lower, conversation-height tables that create a welcoming experience on equal footing . Acoustic amplification systems facilitate communication, while accessible wooden play structures help keep children entertained during check-in.
Dogs Are Part of the Camping Family
Dogs are part of the camping family, too. Designated areas and dedicated services make traveling with pets straightforward. The Fornella and Europa Silvella campsites go one step further: they have opened sections of their beaches to four-legged companions. All of these measures are united by an understanding of hospitality that goes far beyond standard expectations . Lago di Garda Camping demonstrates that a truly meaningful vacation begins where every guest feels seen, understood, and welcome, regardless of the needs they bring with them.
