Summary of reviewsCamping Bella Italia enjoys an exceptional location on the shores of picturesque Lake Garda, offering guests direct access to the lake for serene walks and water activities. Its close proximity to popular attractions like Gardaland and well-maintained green areas create a tranquil atmosphere, making it a perfect stay for family excursions. The campsite's extensive layout is complemented by various conveniently located amenities, such as supermarkets, restaurants and pools with slides, ensuring that guests have everything they need on-site. Its strategic location also facilitates easy day trips to nearby cities like Verona, Venice and Milan.
The breakfast experience at Camping Bella Italia is convenient but not included, requiring guests to arrange their own morning meals. Many opt for the local supermarket, although long lines can be a hassle. Dining options are extensive and generally well-received. Multiple on-site restaurants, including the highly praised Terrazze and a restaurant on the main square, offer a variety of delicious foods and take-away services. Live music and no service charges add to the dining appeal, despite some criticisms of the poolside snack bar and the restaurant by the lake.
Accommodations at the campsite are varied, ranging from bungalows and mobile homes to apartments. Guests appreciate the spaciousness and essential amenities, but there are notable drawbacks like outdated furnishings, cleanliness issues and poor sound insulation. The mixed feedback on accommodation cleanliness reflects a well-maintained common area but subpar individual units with issues such as mold, insects and dampness being common complaints.
Staff at Camping Bella Italia are generally praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, especially the reception, maintenance and entertainment teams. However, peak times see some understaffing, leading to long wait times and occasional unfriendly service. The Wi-Fi service is another area needing improvement with weak and unreliable coverage in private accommodations, although it works well in public areas like the restaurant and pool.
The pool area, a highlight for many families, features diverse and well-maintained facilities including children’s and Olympic-sized pools with water slides. However, water temperature and overcrowding during peak times are significant issues. Sports amenities like tennis courts receive mixed reviews with some finding them in good condition and others noting they require maintenance.
Parking is mostly convenient with ample space near bungalows and mobile homes, although peak times can make it challenging to find spots. Shaded areas add to the comfort, but occasional overcrowding near apartment complexes leads to frustrations.
In summary, Camping Bella Italia offers a picturesque and convenient location with a range of amenities that cater well to families. While there are areas for improvement, particularly in accommodation cleanliness, staffing and Wi-Fi reliability, the overall experience remains positive for many guests.

Guest Reviews
Location
The surrounding area is beautifully maintained with lush greenery and well-organized facilities, creating a tranquil environment. The campsite itself is extensive but manages to maintain a cozy and inviting ambiance. Guests appreciate the ease of reaching local towns like Peschiera del Garda, either by foot or via well-connected paths and public transport.
Various amenities are conveniently located within the campsite, including supermarkets, restaurants and pools equipped with slides and lifeguards. The on-site infrastructure is comprehensive, ensuring guests have everything they need without needing to venture far.

The friendly and attentive staff, coupled with excellent cleanliness standards, enhance the overall experience, making Camping Bella Italia a beloved choice for vacationers looking for comfort, convenience and charm.
Breakfast
However, breakfast is not included in the stay, which means guests need to arrange their own morning meals. Many guests opt to visit the nearby Lidl to pick up breakfast items. It's worth noting that obtaining fresh bread rolls from the supermarket can be time-consuming with waiting times of up to 40 minutes in the mornings due to long lines.
Overall, while the setup allows for a leisurely breakfast experience, the process of acquiring fresh bread can be a bit cumbersome. Choosing the right time to shop or exploring breakfast options at the bar can enhance the morning meal experience at Camping Bella Italia.
Dinner
On-site dining options are abundant, including three primary restaurants, each serving very good food without service charges, which adds to the appeal. Guests also appreciated the availability of take-away services, particularly highlighting the second-best pizza in an international ranking. Evening entertainment such as live music in the restaurants enhances the dining experience.
Despite the generally positive reviews, it's worth mentioning that there were some negative highlights. The snack bar by the pool was criticized for offering prepackaged microwave food and some guests found the restaurant by the lake to be lacking. There were also comments about the limited options for non-Italian cuisine and occasional small portion sizes.
In addition to restaurants, the campsite’s facilities include various shops, a supermarket with good quality groceries, numerous pools, playgrounds and evening entertainment for children. While some guests found specific faults, such as issues with specific food items or the availability of amenities, the overall sentiment towards the dining options at Camping Bella Italia remains positive.
Rooms
However, there are notable drawbacks. Numerous reviews mention outdated furnishings and a lack of proper maintenance, resulting in worn-out impressions. Cleanliness is a recurring issue with reports of mold, dampness and musty odors affecting the living experience. Many units suffer from poor sound insulation and uncomfortable beds, which detract from overall comfort. Additionally, some reviews point out that the accommodations are not always as spacious as advertised and certain features like small and cramped bathrooms or kitchens lacking appliances such as dishwashers or microwaves reduce convenience.
Despite these issues, the functional layout of some bungalows and apartments provides everything necessary for basic stays. For travelers seeking a family-friendly environment with essential facilities and proximity to key attractions, Camping Bella Italia offers a functional, if sometimes imperfect, option.
Beds
Cleanliness
Positive feedback often focused on the cleanliness of mobile homes, some bungalows and common sanitary facilities. Terms like "clean house," "clean structure," and "immaculately clean" were frequently mentioned. The overall facility was praised for being clean, tidy and well-organized with beautiful well-maintained grounds and neatly arranged spaces.
However, numerous negative comments reflected issues such as dirty and moldy bathrooms, stinky and old blankets and insect infestations, including ants, spiders and even cockroaches. Some guests encountered poor conditions in their bungalows with damp walls, filthy floors and outdated furnishings. There were also complaints about superficial cleaning, such as dirt and cobwebs in hidden areas, poorly maintained surroundings and neglected garden areas. Reports of dirty pools and improperly cleaned rooms upon arrival were common.
In summary, while the common areas of Camping Bella Italia seem to maintain a high standard of cleanliness, attention to detail in room and bungalow cleaning needs significant improvement.
Staff
The animation and entertainment teams, especially those involved with children's programs, were praised for their dedication and ability to create an engaging atmosphere. Several reviews underscored the high level of professionalism and service provided by the staff in the restaurants and around the campsite, ensuring a positive experience for many families.
However, there were consistent criticisms regarding insufficient staffing levels, particularly during peak times, leading to long wait times and an overwhelmed reception team. Some guests also mentioned unfriendly or dismissive attitudes from certain staff members, which detracted from their overall experience.
In summary, while the friendliness and helpfulness of Camping Bella Italia's staff were major highlights for many guests, there are clear opportunities for improvement in staffing adequacy and service consistency to ensure an even better experience for future visitors.
Wi-Fi
Additionally, the Wi-Fi service is not included in the standard booking price and is chargeable, which some found unacceptable given its limited availability. Mobile network coverage was also problematic, making it challenging to use mobile data as an alternative. While some guests noted that Wi-Fi in the common areas was effective, the lack of consistent internet access in individual lodgings was a significant drawback. Despite these technological shortcomings, guests seemed to understand the limitations toward the end of the season, attributing some issues to the timing of their stay.
Pool
However, several issues were commonly reported. Most significant was the temperature of the water with many guests mentioning the pools were too cold, contributing to an unenjoyable swimming experience. Another frequently mentioned drawback was overcrowding. During peak times, the pool areas can become extremely packed, leading to a scarcity of sunbeds and a noisy, congested environment. Cleanliness was also variable with some guests pointing out issues like murky water and inadequate maintenance.
Despite these downsides, the pool areas remain a highlight for many, especially families with children. The numerous pools, engaging slides and overall beautiful setup make it a popular spot within the campsite, even if some improvements in heating, maintenance and crowd management could enhance the overall experience.
Tennis
Parking
There are designated parking lots with some spaces in shaded areas, adding comfort in the summer heat. For guests who need to park farther away from their lodgings, the provided parking lots are available, although this occasionally requires a longer walk with luggage. Despite a few mentions of a chaotic parking situation or difficulties in finding spots, for those staying in bungalows and mobile homes, the overall experience is positive with convenient parking options close by. This contrasts with some reports of challenges near the apartment complexes, where parking can sometimes be problematic or fully occupied, leading to occasional frustrations. Overall, while a few issues with parking do exist, many guests of Camping Bella Italia find the parking arrangements satisfactory and often convenient for their needs.
Accessible
The proximity of the campsite to the lake and local attractions enhances the overall experience, making it easy for guests to enjoy breathtaking views and access nearby cities on foot or by bicycle. Families find the site particularly ideal due to its safe and child-friendly environment, which allows children to move freely and utilize the various kid-focused amenities.
Although there are a few areas for improvement, such as the need for more ramp access points and the absence of a golf cart for transporting heavy luggage, the overall accessibility of Camping Bella Italia receives positive feedback. The helpful staff and thoughtful architectural design contribute significantly to the comfort and ease of guests with disabilities, making it a reliable choice for inclusive travel.
Pool Water Slide
The campsite boasts several large pools with different slides, offering plenty of options to keep kids entertained. The water slides are noted to be of good quality, contributing to a fun and dynamic environment. Despite a few mentions of insufficient loungers, the overall sentiment remains positive with many appreciating the extensive slide options available.
The pool and slides are described as well-maintained and enjoyable, making them a key attraction of Camping Bella Italia. Whether it's the excitement of the various slides or the spacious pools designed for both older and younger kids, the aquatic facilities provide a great escape for families looking for an entertaining and refreshing holiday experience.
Outdoor Pool
However, despite their attractiveness, the pools often become very crowded, especially during peak times, which can detract from the experience. Some guests also noted that the pools close earlier than they would prefer. Overall, the outdoor pool area at Camping Bella Italia is a highlight for many visitors, contributing significantly to the camp's reputation as a great location by the lake with a range of outdoor activities to suit all tastes.
Water Park
Guests appreciate the child-friendly atmosphere, highlighting the thoughtfully designed playgrounds, trampolines and enjoyable animations. The overall experience is enriched by additional facilities such as gaming zones and sports fields, including a big football court.
However, some reviews mention that the pools can be quite cold, especially in May and the pool areas can become crowded at times. Cleanliness of the pools is also noted as an area needing improvement. Despite these minor setbacks, the water park remains a popular and attractive feature due to its varied attractions and suitable amenities for all age ranges. The presence of an artificial sandy beach and a range of fun activities further enhance the appeal of Camping Bella Italia as a family-friendly resort.
