Nice stay at Camping Spiaggia D'Oro
As a rule of thumb, the piches are appointed to the guests (at camp lido, we could walk around to find a vacant pitch in the area we had reserved). Our pitch was one of the very few pitches with NO trees to provide shadow, as one of few on the camping site. Even though many pitches in the same category was empty, we were only presented a few other possibilities after returning to the reception. One was neighbour pitch also with no shadow, one was directly in front of the toilet doors (we noticed several interesting noises just standing there shortly, and did not want to spend our 14 days of holiday that way). The last pitch was a very narrow pitch which we choose. It is in general small piches, and our 7m caravan (Adria Aviva 522 pt), did not fit with our 3 meter canopy on the caravan in any direction on this pitch. We had to relocate again, and now one other pitch had become available, so we ended on the corner of a toilet building, but the pitch was slightly bigger, with morning shadow, and by placing the back of the caravan to the service building, we fortunately did not notice any noises from toilets during our stay.
The campsite has many big trees, with big crowns, so most of the piches have shade parts of the day. This however, results in almost no pitches with view to the lake, which is a shame (last time at lake Garda, we were lucky and had a fantastic view of the lake from the pitch on Camping Lido).
Nice pool area, with a LOT of sunchairs around the pools. An overlooked olive grove slightly above the pools was our preferred area to spend the days at the pool, also since this was the last chairs to be taken (we are not early risers). Our first week from 1st of July was OK at the pools, but during the second week, the pool got a bit overcrowded to our taste. The kids (12 and 14) loved it.
We used the pool bar restaurant several times, which we enjoyed.
Clean toilets (probably the most clean we have ever experienced anywhere!)
The kitchen seems not to be cleaned daily however, which is a shame, since some people do not clean up after using it.
Entertainment every evening, but we rarely use this, but we heard the main part of a show by the band “Kriss”, and saw the last part from the bar. They where actually great.
From the beach gate, it only takes10 minutes to walk to Lazise along the beach.
A very nice camp site at Lake Garda.
We loved the location, service and the welcoming of italian staff. The campground is incredibly clean at all times, showers and sinks and washing area too. It was convenient that we could use our own laundry detergent as we know what we like and we use non-perfumed one.
The children program that startrs at around 20:00 oclock and runs until 22:00 is extremely loud and was dosturbing us as our kids go earlier to bed. Perhaps, this program could be moved to earlier time during the evening e.g. 17-19.
The biggest down side of the camping is that it is 97% germans, who were extremely rude and non verbal during our stay. The problem always occurred when the other guests were leaving (did not happen with french, with italians, danes or swiss). Unfortunately, we had two encounters where our neighbors just when they were packing up their stuff and were preparing to leave, had rudely instructed us to keep our kids away from their property, which can be hard to explain to a 2 year old child. Another couple staying at the plot 16 did say nothing during our common days of staying, perhaps 3 nights, but as they were packing up (again very similar situation), the lady shouted at me in german. I asked her to explain in english, and she shouted again “our property!! Your kids walk by our property! Go around!”. According to her we should not pass by the border between our campground and theirs to go to the shower or toilet, but instead to go to the main street, turn and then find a way to the toilets and other washing facilities. Perhaps the planning of the intercrossing properties is not working to the benefit of the guests, but better should be everywhere aligned. So sad it happened. The staff explained that some people are very particular and for the calmness of our stay we should better walk around.
