Cheap accomodation compared to some places in Venice, but I would not go back.close

Reasonable sized room and bathroom, especially for what you pay for! The only thing we can fault is that it was getting a little cold when we were there and the heater didnt seem to be working in our room. Otherwise the facilities were ok and camp restaurant and supermarket seemed to be pretty...

It wasn't nice that at check-in nobody told us that our 4-day reservation was truncated to 3 days-only because of the site was closed for winter... Thay told us only at the 3rd evening...

Its far away from Venice, you can take their shuttle in and out or the public bus but will probably end up spending nights in the camp site rather than on the canals. The pool is really handy after a big day in venice but it closed at 7pm!

Main problem is that it's a 20 min bus trip to Venice and the bus is often full and crowded (you almost need to fight to get on)! The pool was great... but some of the tents were smelly!

I stayed in a 3bed air con dorm. Essential during summer months to avoid being destroyed by the killer mosquitos. The bar is good fun most nights and the shuttle bus is handy, but dont be afraid to take the public bus if you want more flexibility, it is easy.

The staff are reasonably helpful, the person at the restaurant did a good job too.It may be good place if you are staying in Venice for many days, but if you go just for a day, or during offseason, its not a good choice.close

The location is not the worst, but the camping does not have a kitchen where you can cook, forcing you to eat out; the other thing I didnt like was the fact that the place has no common areas to meet other people, I was alone in one cabin and I meet noone!

This would be a great place to stay in the peak season however in winter it is a little run down. Even though it is out of town the bus services make it easy to get into Venice and the staff are helpful. Id stay again in summer for some real fun

I stayed in a cabin with its own bathroom and shower and it was very secure and clean. I would definitely stay here again, only problem is how far away it is from Venice, but there is a bus that leaves frequently and if you take it early enough, you will be able to see enough of venice to catch the last bus to the campsite. Theres also a bar at the site to make up for not being able to see the nightlife in Venice.close

A good place to stay if you want to do venice on the cheap, however for a campsite I thought it was quite expensive when it came to the supermarket and restaurant. Otherwise good, no frills accomodation.

Nothing special, just basic accommodation and bathrooms but it's one of the cheapest options accessible from Venice. It was clean but the shared toilets and showers are outside cubicles. Without the direct shuttle bus the campground would be much less appealing.

So far away from Venice. They do have a shuttle bus though for €2 each way, but it only goes at certain times. The cabins are basic. The staff are nice. Its just the location that sucks. I would spend the extra money to stay closer next time.
