Most of these campsites offer mobile home camping experiences, but some do tent camping and glamping.

Many of you recommended the Bella Italia Campsite at Lake Garda saying it was fantastic for families with loads of activities to enjoy nearby.

They offer a range of camping facilities from basic pitches for tents and camper vans to mobile homes, bungalows and apartments. Mum Etain told us “the campsite was very well set up with a small supermarket and a few shops. There were lots of bathroom blocks which had laundry and washroom facilities (the bungalow had its own bathroom so I only used the washing machines). Eating options onsite ranged from 3 restaurants to a snack bar and a pub.”
