Lake Garda in the off-peak season. Why choose Piani di Clodia in spring or autumn?

Lake Garda is most often associated with holidays in July and August. However, for many people, spring, June, or early autumn can be a much more pleasant time to travel to northern Italy. Temperatures are more conducive to sightseeing, the promenades are quieter, and relaxation can be more easily combined with excursions in the surrounding area. A good place for such a stay is Piani di Clodia, a five-star holiday park located directly on Lake Garda, near Lazise.

For the 2026 season, Piani di Clodia is open from March 26th to October 6th. This means you don't have to limit your vacation planning solely to the school summer break. This is a particularly interesting option for families with small children, couples, seniors, and campervan travelers who can afford to vacation outside of the most popular dates.

A heated swimming pool changes the possibilities of relaxation outside of summer

One of the most important improvements is a change introduced from the 2026 season. Piani di Clodia offers a heated Polinesia Lagoon pool, thanks to which the water area can be used even when the weather is not yet reminiscent of the height of the Italian summer.

During peak season, the extensive Piani di Clodia water complex, comprising seven pools, is open. Guests also have access to numerous slides, children's areas, hydromassage, and water attractions. Outside of peak season, the number of pools open varies, while during low season, the heated Polinesia Lagoon is guaranteed to be open.

This is important information, especially for people who have previously written off April, May or the turn of September and October for fear that there will be too few attractions at the campsite on Lake Garda.

Spring on Lake Garda is perfect for sightseeing and active recreation

Staying outside the peak holiday season has another advantage: it's easier to use Piani di Clodia as a base from which to explore the region.

The resort offers a free shuttle bus to Lazise. This is one of the most atmospheric towns on Lake Garda, with a small port, promenade, restaurants, and historic center. A bike rental and repair shop are also available on-site, and guests can find information about bike tours and other attractions in the region.

On cooler days, longer walks or bike rides become much more enjoyable. You can visit other towns around the lake, head to Verona, or simply spend the day commuting between the small towns along Lake Garda.

This doesn't mean, however, that you have to leave Piani di Clodia every day. The resort has direct access to the lake and its own private beach for guests.

Not just July and August, animations run throughout most of the season

Many people choosing to camp with children fear that most of the additional attractions will be closed outside of the summer holidays. At Piani di Clodia, the entertainment program for the 2026 season is scheduled from March 28th to October 4th. The most extensive daytime and evening programs are scheduled from the end of May to the end of August.

The entertainment program includes activities for children and teenagers, sports activities, tournaments, and evening events. The program includes games, pool parties, treasure hunts, performances, musicals, and live music.

Thanks to this, June or September does not have to mean staying at an almost empty campsite with no additional attractions.

Restaurant, shop and most important services also outside the holiday peak

If you're traveling outside of peak season, it's worth checking not only the pools but also the resort's basic infrastructure. Piani di Clodia promises that its bar, restaurant, pizzeria, market, and bazaar will remain open throughout the resort's opening period.

The Catullo and Marc'Aurelio restaurants are located on-site. Guests can enjoy traditional pizza, Italian cuisine, seasonal offerings, and gluten-free options. Takeout is also available. The market offers fresh bread, vegetables, fruit, cheeses, cold cuts, meats, and regional products, including olive oil and wine.

This is especially convenient if you choose a cottage, glamping site or pitch and want to prepare some of the meals yourself.
