GreeneryGreenery
20 hectares of land with an enviable centuries-old park full of trees, flowers and typical lake vegetation. Oaks, olive trees, mulberry trees, limes, oleanders, maples, acacias, poplars and holm oaks are safeguarded in this area which stretches to the south, bordering our golden sandy beach by Lake Garda.

With a surface area of approximately 6500 sq. m., our beach is the largest in all of Lake Garda and the only one with natural sand.
It is served by showers and there are establishments in the immediate vicinity.
The Tiki Beach Bar serves cocktails, cold drinks and delicious snacks by the lake.
The water level slopes gently, and the bathing area is enclosed for the safety of children. Outside the bathing area there are buoys to be reserved.

Cleaning
We clean the whole campsite with dedication, from the green spaces to the toilets, the beach and any other area of the campsite.
Toilets
- Our staff cleans the toilets several times during the day
- We use a scrubber dryer to avoid the risk of slipping on wet floors
- We carry out an anti-limescale treatment on the walls and jets of the showers once a week
Environmental protection
To promote environmental protection, as required by the ISO 14001 environmental certification, Camping La Quercia carries out separate waste collection and disposal operations on its own, reducing non-recyclable waste and increasing the collection of reusables.
Each accommodation unit is equipped with containers for waste sorting glass, paper and plastic, wet and dry waste. Waste collection for these accommodations is door-to-door.
For pitches, 4 separate collection bags are provided at check-in, in addition to organic waste bags to be emptied at the recycling areas at all toilet groups.
Mini recycling areas (undifferentiated waste, glass, plastic, paper) are also arranged in the main meeting points of the campsite: swimming pools, restaurants, shopping area, playground, reception desk and beach.
Our staff collects waste by means of one of our electric vehicles and makes sure that waste is sorted properly.
Plastic eco-compactors that give a chance to win prizes have been installed in the supermarket area and at toilets no. 5 and no. 7. “You win, the environment wins”: each recycled bottle is worth one point, and the more points you have, the more prizes you win!
