Bella Italia reviews

We just spent ten days at Camping Bella Italia and it was quite the experience! We are a family of six: Mum, Dad, two teenagers (14 and 16), and two primary school kids (7 and 9).If you are looking for a quiet, secluded retreat, this isn't it. But if you want a high-energy "mini city" where everyone from a toddler to a cynical teen has something to do, Bella Italia delivers.

Our Base: The Suncamp SunLodge
This was the real "game changer" for a family of our size was booking the SunLodge Sabai through Suncamp. We've stayed in standard mobile homes before, but this was a significant step up.

Why the SunLodge worked for us:
-Space for 6: It actually fit all of us without feeling like a game of Tetris. It has three proper bedrooms (including bunk beds for the younger ones).
- The "Teenager" Perk: It has two bathrooms. For a family with two teens, this was worth every penny. No morning queues for the shower!Proper Beds: The beds are extra-long ($2.10\text{m}$) and have thick mattresses. Dad is 6'2", so he finally didn't have his feet hanging off the end of a caravan bed.
- Luxury Touches: It comes with a dishwasher (huge win!), a Nespresso machine, and a Bluetooth sound system. The covered wooden terrace was our evening hub for cards and pizza.

The Pros: What We Loved

-Pool Paradise: With five pools, slides, and a massive splash park, the kids were never bored. The "Bel Park" inflatable area was a massive hit with the 7 and 9-year-olds.

- Location, Location, Location: You have direct access to Lake Garda. We spent several afternoons at the pebble beach (definitely bring water shoes—those stones are sharp!).

- Peschiera del Garda: It’s a flat, easy 15-minute walk along the lakefront into town. It’s a beautiful place for gelato or a fancy dinner when you want to escape the campsite bustle.

-Teen Freedom: The site is very secure. Our teenagers loved that they could wander off to the sports courts or the "Bel Pizza" takeaway to meet new friends without us hovering.

-Gardaland: Italy's biggest theme park is only 10 minutes away. We took the shuttle bus and had an absolute blast.

The Cons: The Reality Check

-The "Sunbed Wars": It is true what they say—it’s competitive. If you aren't there when the pools open, you’ll be sitting on your towel on the grass.

- It’s Huge and Busy: With over 1,500 pitches, it can feel a bit like a festival crowd during peak meal times. The queues at the onsite supermarket in the morning were a bit much.

- Noise: Because it’s so lively, the music and entertainment go on until 11:00 PM. If you have very early sleepers, request a spot further away from the main stage.

For a big family with a wide age gap, Camping Bella Italia is hard to beat. The SunLodge upgrade was the best decision we made, having that extra comfort and the second bathroom made the holiday feel like a luxury break rather than a "camping trip."

Tip: Download the "Bella Italia" app before you arrive. It has the daily entertainment schedule and map, which is essential for navigating such a massive site!

Campsite was larger than we expected but well organised and layed out into little avenues. The mobile pitches don't have much privacy. Campsite is in a great location that sits on the edge of Lake Garda. It has a lovely restaurant that overlooks the lake as well as a cafe downstairs, pizza takeaway (which is always busy). There is a well stocked mini supermarket, gift shop, games room, bar and internet cafe all in the same area of the campsite. Slightly away from this area is a pool area, a bar, and a childrens play area with inflatable castles and children's club games. The campsite itself is in a good location at the bottom of Lake Garda. The nearest town is walkable but we prefered to drive there. There are a few restaurants and shops and you can take boat trips across the lake from here. Gardaland is only a 10 minute car journey away and although very expensive I would recommend it as a fantastic day out. Would suggest leaving early to avoid the cues coming out as we ended up in traffic for an hour before we got back to site. Movie World is also very near. Fantastic theme park for children to teens however you can probably do it all in half a day if your clever with the show times. There are loads of different companies on this site, we stayed with Al Fresco. All the Al Fresco mobile homes looked clean and newish and located not too far away from the facilities.
Overall had a great holiday, would definetly go back and reccommend to anyone.

Completly agree with all these reviews although I must add that we booked throuhg Suncamp in one of their new Sunlodge mobile homes and found it fantastic. Friends we made on site booked with Keycamp who's mobile was older and not very clean. They even paid more than us so I would definetly recommend Bella Italia.

This was our second trip to Lake Garda - a wonderful place that I couldn't recommend enough. The Lakes are beutifull and the scenery is untouched. On this trip we stayed in the area of Peschiera del Garda located to the southern area of the lakes easily reachable from Verona airport. We chose Peschiera not only for it's close proximity to the airport but also for a two day trip to Venice and to take the kids to the big Gardaland theme park. Venice was certainly stunning and the kids were thrilled to bits trying all the big rides at Gardaland. We stayed on a holiday park called Bella Italia. The main reason we chose this park was to cut down costs with having a big sized family (6 of us all together). We were plesantly surprised at the quality of the accommodation and park facilities as the price we paid with Thompson Al Fresco was the cheapest we could find at the time. The 3 bedroom mobile home was big enough for us all and the decking allowed us to have the evening meals outside, getting full use out of the patio heaters when it got a little chilly after 9. Bella Italia park is rather a large park but the grounds were well maintained and the activities and sports available were endless. We rarely saw the eldest kids in the day and even the youngest never got bored of the organised clubs and the fun evening entertainment. Only negative I would say about the park is that without a map you can easily get side tracked. We found ourselves lost a few times so we would recommend picking up a park map from the tour reps or reception. We would certainly recommend this park to any large family like ourselves, had a thoughly wonderfull two weeks in Peschiera del Garda and would certainly return again to the Bella Italia park.

For many years we had wanted to go to Lake Garda, and this year we finally went. We stayed at the Bella Italia campsite, which was right next to the lake. We booked with Eurocamp and stayed in a two bed mobile home with decking and had a brilliant time! The Eurocamp reps were extremely helpful and friendly, and they also ran a great children's club (funstation), which the kids loved. We did a few day trips during our stay to Gardaland and to Venice (took a couple of hours to get there but well worth it!), which we easily organised with the help of the campsite staff. The campsite itself has good facilites, which are clean and well looked after. We had such a great holiday here that we plan on going back next year! garda itself.

On the southern edge of the magnificent lake garda is the beautiful bella Italia holiday park. The park is well looked after and spotlessly clean. And all of the staff were really friendly. The facilities at the park were great. But we didn't spend much time in the park itself, as most days were spent on the lake, or visiting nearby attractions. We would recommend day trips to Venice (a must), the aquapark, movieland and gardaland. This campsite is a great base for visiting local attractions, as well as lake garda itself.
