70%Plus Camping Jolly

Needs to be a little more specific that when you book a "twin bedroom" they actually mean a tent. Luckily we were upgraded with no extra charge because it was cold. The campervans are very nice though, and the restaurant was quite good value. The shuttle to the island was also convenient.

stayed in a cabin which was nice but you could feel the floor vibrate when the person in the cabin next to you walked around, maybe they were really fat. Overall though really good value for money and it only took about 20 mins and cost 1.10euro to get into venice using the public bus. Would stay...

Campsite is in the middle of nowhere with no great links to the city at night so you're stuck there - they have a bar but it was never busy and seemed to be a local hangout of older men! Staff don't really know much and very unhelpful. Would not recommend

Nos encanto el lugar, a pesar de estar retirado de Venecia y de la parada del bus, te dan facilidades para trasladarte hasta el sitio turistico. Tienen un bus que sale cada cierta hora desde el hostal, si no lo tomas alli si tienes que caminar como unos 20 min. A pesar de eso nos volveriamos a...

If you like mosquitos and a stagnent swimming pool then this is the place for you! It was like a ghost town. About a lively as a funeral parlour. On the plus side it was cheap.

Cheap, and conveniently located near the main sights of Venice. The shuttle bus from the campsite to Veneyia S.L. is verz handy!

Nice and clean, the best hostel in my last 20 hostel stays so far. I booked a 3 beds mixed room but the hostel let me stay alone in the room (low season, everybody gets one private room). I extended my stay in Venice just because of the hostel, feel so comfortable. The location is not ideal,... more Nice and clean, the best hostel in my last 20 hostel stays so far.

distance between Camping Jolly and bus station for nearest connection to Venice is about 15-20 min. and ever trip to Venice, by public transports, takes about 45- 60 min according to bus achievement ( 20- 30 min between two bus, no time table in station).

Disappointed the table tennis not available. Was broken apparently. Staff nice & helpful. Shower in the room flooded the whole bathroom. Told the staff & said he´ll see to it. Overall, good for family. Don´t mind the distance to Venice as there´s shuttle bus available.

There was no air conditioning any where so it was really hot and uncomfortable, especially in the tents when the hot sun would beat down. The bar/disco was pretty lame. Also it was far from the city so there was no where to get food or booze except there at the camp, where they dont have a cash machine and the only way you can buy their food or booze is to put cash on these little credit card things and use that. The pool was okay to keep cool.close

This seemed to be quite a quiet camping ground when I stayed- most people seemed to be staying at the other camping ground near the airport. Perhaps good for families, but not so good for single backpackers looking to meet people.

Bit of a hike to get there. I arrived alone, at night, and walking there from the station was a little nerve-wracking. Nice vibe though - seemed a pretty social place.

A bit too difficult to get to - perhaps if there were more shuttles running (maybe even to the bus stop because its such a long walk). staff were friendly tho and cabins were clean.

A good hostel for the price you pay, shuttle that runs directly into Venice is very helpful. A lot of older people, not younger like most hostels. The only problem is we left with lots of bites..not sure if it was mosquitoes or bed bugs.

Though it was a bit weird that we couldn't pay with cash or anything (they made us pay for everything that was at the hostel by a card that they gave us), a lot of people were in the pub/bar/restaurant and looked like they were enjoying themselves. Hot showers! That was really, really nice. The location isn't really close to the island, but they ran a shuttle service so it's honestly not a big deal. Another downside is that we were in a room that had a very bright light right outside of our window, and our window shade was not very useful to block that out. I would come back to that hostel. It was very lovely.close

You aren't going to find a cheaper place anywhere near Venice and they run shuttles in the morning and evening. I imagine it would be a lot of fun during the busy season. I'd stay again.

If Venice island is booked out, then this place does do the job. Cheap! we had a 2 bed cabin, which was nice. Shuttle bus to the island is 2 Euro each way and conveniant. Directions to the camping ground a wrong, so print out the map. they said they will change them..
