In the north of Italy, Trentino delights with picturesque mountain slopes and imposing cliffs, fertile green valleys and crystal-clear waters. The region is best explored by hiking and cycling, and many travellers are also drawn to Trentino for climbing. The local campsites are mostly located at the foot of the mountains or directly on the shores of Lake Garda. The latter is one of the most beautiful recreational areas in northern Italy.
The mighty mountain peaks of the Brenta Dolomites in the west, the turquoise-blue Lake Garda in the south, with gently rolling valleys, flowering meadows and dense forests in between: The northern Italian province of Trentino is incredibly diverse and a guarantee for unforgettable holiday experiences. PiNCAMP presents the best campsites in Trentino and provides you with the most important tips for your camping holiday.
There is a wide selection of campsites in Trentino, as the region is well developed for tourism. On the eastern shore of Lake Garda in particular, there is one campsite after another. If you want something a little quieter, head to the equally beautiful Lake Caldonazzo or Lake Molveno.
Below we present 5 recommended campsites in Trentino. The sites are characterised by excellent service, a beautiful location and good value for money. Dogs are generally allowed and, as is usual in Italy, there is usually an entertainment team for children so that mum and dad can do something on their own.
Spacious pitches, modern, well-kept mobile homes and a great location on Lake Caldonazzo: this campsite leaves nothing to be desired. The facilities are also impressive. Clean sanitary facilities, a heated pool with children's pool, restaurant and playgrounds leave nothing to be desired. The only small drawbacks: the Wi-Fi on the site is a little slow at times and the selection in the mini-market could be improved.
Beautifully situated campsite by a stream in the Fassa Valley. The spacious pitches for motorhomes are shaded by conifers, and studios and flats are also available for rent. The sanitary facilities are very clean, and there is also a playground and a sports ground on the site. Dogs are allowed everywhere.
Modern campsite in a great location directly on Lake Molveno at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites with countless opportunities for hiking and cycling in the immediate vicinity. The 210 pitches on grassy ground also offer enough space for larger caravans. There is a supermarket in the immediate vicinity of the campsite. It can get quite noisy late into the night, especially in the high season.
Quiet yet central campsite in the heart of the Fassa Valley and the ideal starting point for hikes and tours in the surrounding area. The sanitary facilities on the site are clean and spacious, and there is also a new thermal spa just 50 metres from the site where you can relax. Thanks to the dog meadow and dog showers, the site is well suited for dog owners.
Campsite in a fantastic location on the crystal-clear mountain lake Lago di Ledro and perfect for those who don't fancy the hustle and bustle of Lake Garda. A bread roll service, restaurant and supermarket cater for your physical well-being, while there is a playground, indoor play facilities and an entertainment programme for children. Unfortunately, the sanitary facilities are a little dated.

If you want to travel to Trentino, you would have to cross Austria from Germany. The best way to do this is via Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass. A toll is charged for the motorway through the Alpine state, which you buy in the form of a vignette at the border. Tolls are also payable at the toll booths on the Italian side of the motorway.
The A22 motorway first leads to Bolzano in South Tyrol. After around 60 kilometres, campers reach Trento, the capital of the region. From here it is not far to the foothills of the Alps and Lake Garda. The latter is another 40 kilometres from Trento. From southern Germany, for example Munich or Stuttgart, it is between 350 and 500 kilometres to the destination in northern Italy.
From Cologne it is around 850 km, from Berlin 920 km and from Hamburg 1,100 km. On the way, travellers can make a stopover in Innsbruck and the mountain landscapes of Tyrol. The Italian South Tyrol is also fascinating with its Dolomite massifs and enchanting towns such as Bolzano and Merano.
The autonomous region of Trentino-Alto Adige is incredibly diverse in terms of both landscape and culture and combines Alpine culture with Mediterranean flair in a unique way. Camping holidaymakers can look forward to dreamlike mountain landscapes, blooming plains, picturesque towns and almost 300 lakes. The most beautiful destinations include the capital city of Trento, the picturesque Lake Garda and, of course, the region's mountains, especially the mighty peaks of the Dolomites and the Ortler group. Here is a brief overview of possible destinations for your camping trip in Trentino.
Trento is the capital of Trentino and is surrounded by picturesque mountains. The Adige river flows through the centre. To the west of the municipality, a trip to the 2,091 metre-high Monte Bondone is well worthwhile. In the town centre, the medieval buildings such as the Torre Civica fortress tower and the Neptune Fountain on the cathedral square are among the most important sights.
The spa town lies in the centre of the Suganer Valley. The peaceful and idyllic atmosphere at Lago di Levico attracts holidaymakers from all over the world. The lake entices visitors to swim and do sports. In the pretty village, visitors can choose from more than 50 restaurants serving hearty Trentino cuisine. The many thermal baths in the regional spa centres are a highlight.
The seaside resort is located on the northern shore of Lake Garda and is the perfect starting point for getting to know northern Italy's most famous inland waterway. The lakeside promenade with its historic buildings such as the Torre Apponale and the town castle is worth a visit. If you don't fancy swimming or water sports, you can join one of the many mountain bike tours on offer in the village.
Top 2 insider tips - Rovereto's old town: Rovereto's Venetian-influenced architecture is particularly fascinating and has been immortalised in the form of narrow alleyways and palaces as well as the 14th century castle. A visit to the historical museum, which deals with the war history of northern Italy, is well worthwhile. The Ossuary Ossario Castel Dante and the Peace Bell and Bell of the Fallen are also reminders of this. Nearby, you can visit the San Colombano hermitage built into a rock face - Dolomites: The striking rocky peaks of the Dolomites are among the most beautiful hiking areas in Italy. In Trentino, the Dolomiti di Brenta are ideal for trekking or for fit mountain bikers.
With the mountain peaks of the Southern Alps, picturesque valleys and hills covered in coniferous and deciduous trees, Trentino is the perfect place to combine a camping holiday with outdoor activities. Climbing, hiking, cycling, mountain biking, paragliding - the possibilities are almost endless. Water sports enthusiasts also get their money's worth in Trentino - Lake Garda, for example, is one of the hotspots for windsurfers in Europe.
There are hundreds of hiking trails and climbing routes in Trentino. Holidaymakers can hike around Lake Garda and set off for the neighbouring Monte Baldo. Other beautiful destinations are the Vermiglio Valley, the Proveiser Steig and the Vallesinella waterfalls or the Ragaiolo waterfall in the Val di Rabbi. Here, an almost 100 metre long Tibetan suspension bridge awaits brave hikers.
The Dolomites and the mountains of the Ortler group are true climbing paradises. Some of the mountain peaks reach up to 4000 metres and also offer a unique panorama from below. Beginners can also try their hand at climbing on a secured via ferrata. The via ferratas allow even untrained people to climb to dizzying heights that are otherwise reserved for experienced professionals. A classic for beginners is the "Via Ferrata Fausto Susatti", which offers spectacular views of Lake Garda.
The tour through the Adige Valley is a world-famous cycle route. The route starts at the source at the Reschen Pass and leads right across South Tyrol. From Bolzano, the route continues to Trento. In general, holidaymakers enjoy the view of lush green alpine meadows and mighty rocky peaks during a cycle tour. Mountain biking is a popular activity in the mountains.
Lake Garda is made for water sports enthusiasts - Italy's largest inland waterway is perfect for sailing and windsurfing. Sports enthusiasts should look for a campsite in Torbole, Riva, Gargnano and Malcesine. The wind blows here almost at the push of a button.
Want a real adrenaline rush? Then try white water rafting in the rapids in the Adamello Brenta National Park and the Stelvio nature reserve. There is a well-equipped rafting centre in Val di Sole. Of course, you can also take it a little easier: Simply take a rowing boat or pedalo out onto Lake Garda and enjoy the sun's rays sparkling on the turquoise-coloured water.
Even if you prefer to cook for yourself in your camping kitchen and only buy food from the local mini-market on the campsite - try out local specialities at least once. It's worth it! The cuisine of Trentino is generally characterised by hearty food and products from mountain farms. Aromatic pasture cheese, air-dried ham and fresh herbs come from the Alpine slopes. The best-known specialities include Trentingrana, Spressa delle Giudicarie and Vezzena cheeses.
The wafer-thinly sliced mortandela from the Non Valley is also a tasty delicacy.
Other well-known cured meats include Carne Salada and Ciuiga del Banale. These products are best enjoyed on crusty farmhouse bread from local village bakeries. Polenta is particularly popular with hot dishes such as roast pork and beef. Dumplings, which came to northern Italy from the Bohemian region, are also typical.
The best time to go camping in Trentino is from the end of March to October, i.e. from spring to autumn. Most holidaymakers arrive in the height of summer, when temperatures reach a maximum of 30 °C. In May, June and September, temperatures are also always above 20 °C. Please note: Temperatures are significantly lower at high altitudes - a maximum of 15 °C can be expected at an altitude of 2,000 metres.
Make sure you take windproof and weatherproof clothing and sun protection with you on your camping holiday, as the weather can change quickly, especially in the mountains. The temperatures are generally somewhat cooler in March and April. Holidaymakers can enjoy relaxed hikes and excursions at temperatures of up to 19 °C. The same applies to October. In winter, the climate is characterised by temperatures around freezing point.
