Camping Continental (Bardolino)

We were here as a couple with a camper and had inquired about a plot via email about 3 months before and were able to choose from a few spots. You receive photos of the pitch, which I think is a good idea. Not all spots have a view of the lake due to the slope and a dense high hedge towards the footpath that separates the spot below from the lake. Upon arrival, you should always first walk to the pitch on foot and orient yourself on how to approach and park it. The roads are quite narrow and driving and maneuvering due to the many olive trees is not very simple. However, the narrow roads and many trees also make the spot very idyllic. Otherwise, everything here is well laid out and nicely maintained. The sanitary facilities are clean and are also cleaned several times a day. There is a small shop with everything you need, the prices are of course a bit higher than in the nearest supermarket. The restaurant had the best pizzas we have eaten on this vacation (!) and you have a beautiful view of the lake from the terrace. The pool is nice and was moderately busy, the sunbeds and umbrellas around were 90% occupied. Since the lake is quickly reachable, you can also comfortably lay by the shore. The entrance from the lake is possible with a chip card until 11 PM via 2 doors. Bardolino and Garda are very easily reachable in a few kilometers via the lakeside road (only for pedestrians and cyclists). We will come back next year.

We chose the spot spontaneously in the off-season (end of April) and arrived after a quick phone call. The staff at the reception was very friendly and spoke German. We were allowed to choose a spot and set ourselves up. The sanitary facilities are very modern and clean, and well distributed on the site. There is a large pool, which was not yet in operation. Additionally, there was a dog park on the campsite and in the immediate vicinity on the lakeshore (the one by the lake was very large), where our dog found really nice playmates. Bardolino and Garda are nearby (10 minutes on foot) and right at the site there are several cafés at the lakeshore. We were very satisfied, we will come back!

In mid-September, I got the last available spot there (without reservation). The location is excellent, Bardolino and Garda are easily reachable on foot. The site has a large, well-maintained pool. There's a small supermarket and restaurant available. The spots are partly quite small, and you have to maneuver. The sanitary facilities are clean. I would go there again.

If someone travels without a dog, this place is not recommended - constant barking and 90% of the spots with dogs

The place is beautiful and idyllic with many olive trees around. However, these make the paths quite narrow. You have to pay attention when moving around with 7m. Otherwise, everything else fits well here. Clean sanitary facilities, a small shop with everything you need, though everything costs a bit. The discount market is reachable by bike in 10 minutes. Unfortunately, the pool is already closed by early October, but the lake can be reached quickly. Bardolino and Garda are nearby. Overall, a recommendation.

The place is generally very good if you want to be near Bardolino and is directly by the lake (just cross the walking/cycling path). The sanitary facilities are generally clean but outdated. We had to pay 37€ per night in the off-season (camper + 2 people), while a 5* campsite near Lazise cost 23€ a night with brand new sanitary facilities, etc.! So in my opinion, this is never justified! Except for the first row, the pitches are on a slope, which means that you often stand at an angle. The pitches are also tightly calculated in size. We didn't visit the restaurant, and the pool area is okay, but no one was in it at the end of September... Just disappointed due to the price, which is not justified, and the campsite is taking advantage of it because there are few campsites near Bardolino, and they are usually not very large.

So far the worst campsite ever. It is evening and until late at night it is so loud due to drunken teens with portable mega speakers and bars with live music. We had constant levels over 80 dB at the campsite until 11:30 PM. It was so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. The reception does not care about complaints and points out that the beach is private and the bars are none of their business. You could call the police, but they wouldn't do anything anyway. I am not talking about drunken people walking along the seaside promenade and listening to music (there are those too) but about truly extreme noise disturbance. The restaurant is bad by Italian standards (pizza like rubber) and the location is good, the pool is okay as well. But even here, constant belly flops (officially prohibited) from all sides make relaxation impossible...

The site has a beautiful pool area, but it is less suitable for swimmers. The lounging area by the lake can also be very crowded, as it is public. The parking spaces in the lower area consist of gravel and dust, are very small and partially very uneven. Here, it is accepted that you may damage your vehicle. The sanitary facilities are modern but unfortunately not clean. In my opinion, the site is overrated.
