Soaring Motorhome Costs Push RV Campers Towards Financial Turmoil
Rising Costs at Lake Garda Campsites Spark Debate Among Vacationers
In a surprising turn of events, Robert Woods, a long-time camper at Lake Garda, has announced his plan to limit dining out at the campsites to once a week due to the high costs. According to Focus Online's latest report, a two-week vacation at Lake Garda campsites now costs over 3,300 euros, not including travel or tolls.
The cost of a two-week camping pitch at Lake Garda stands at 1,600 euros, a significant increase from the 500 euros it was a decade ago. This price hike has not gone unnoticed by the camping community, with many German vacationers complaining about the rising costs.
The price for a meal at a campsite at Lake Garda is approximately between 10 and 15 euros for pizza, with drinks and sides adding a few euros more. A waffle ice cream pack, a popular campsite treat, costs 10 euros. Small extras such as ice cream (2 euros) and fries (up to 6.50 euros) also add up, making a vacation day at Lake Garda campsites cost approximately 236 euros.
The cost of a family meal, including pizza, fries, and cola, at Lake Garda campsites is a staggering 120 euros. This has led to a heated debate on social media, with some users criticizing the high prices as excessive, while others dismiss these complaints as "luxury whining."
Robert Woods, a camper from Augsburg who has been visiting Lake Garda for 13 years, finds the price increase "crazy." He is not alone in his sentiments, as many other vacationers share his concerns. The debate continues, with Focus Online shedding light on the camping shock at Lake Garda.
