Italian Lakes

[Coastal Cruiser.]

We are leaving Florence in the morning and heading up back towards Germany and would be grateful for any ideas of a nice stop for a couple of days near the Italian lakes?

Camping Iseo is quite a nice site, not too big or commercial. Lakeside pitches will be all booked up though and maybe a twenty minute flat walk into town ?

Mark, we were booked in for four nights @ Isolino on Lake Maggorie. We managed 1 night and moved a little further south again.
It was like an Italian pontins & rammed to the rafters 4 days ago. If you’ve got kids, I’m sure it’s brilliant. We haven’t.

We have Brian but luckily they are of an age where they don’t come

Have had a few sites where there has been a baby probably 5-6 months old on the next pitch, why would you have a holiday when the temperatures are above 30!!
Some people amaze me,,,
I certainly did not expect so many kids about as made sure we missed the holidays over here…

Just waiting on a message back about a site in the Tyrol‘s as need to get somewhere cooler, heading up to 34+ in the next few days where we are to much for us we’re heading up into the mountains

Well I have just left lake Como & managed to get a moho space in the aire just out of the centre, €4 for most of the day & all night, bargain, bit noisy until late at night. Electricity available on the 3 official moho spaces. Some of the lake front is being dug up around Como but the funicular trip makes up for that.

If I were to go again I would see if I could park up around here on lake Lugano on the Swiss/Italian border, this is Morcote. I stayed at the area camper at Lugano which was very acceptable for an aire & close to the town.

Looks lovely, trouble I seem to have is the size of our van, Italian pitches seem to be on the small side, have had no issues anywhere else..

The locals seem to squeeze their long mohos in anyway

We have camped at Lakes Garda, Maggiore, and Iseo.
All beautiful and probably go there again, definitely out of main season. Iseo, the smallest one.

We are back out in September so will go back down and do the lakes then, will pre book some decent pitches also as everyone is saying they have never seen it so busy this time of year so no doubt September will still be busy.

When we were out here last October it was very quiet and all places you could just pull in and stay.

There are a couple of lakeside pitches for larger vans at Camping Solcio on Maggiore.
A nice drive north from there via Domodossola and over the Simplon Pass and then down into Brig.

Yes, done that drive several times, I have family in Lesa and love the area. Even though I broke my leg on Mottarone skiing when I was a teenager (a long time ago!)

 

[GAVLAD]

Peschiera del Garda is nice and has a large Aire.
We stayed at Camping Cappuccini on the lake side and have a 9m van so pitch size wasn’t an issue and we had a U.S RV next to us.
You’re near the road going up to Brenner Pass on that side of lake and through Austria to Germany.
We stopped at Innsbruck and then in to Fussen and up.
You’ll need to buy a go box at border and cash it in before crossing to Germany if your van is above 3500kg. Loads of details on here on that but be prepared for opinions

We stayeed on a free Aire at Lake Varese next to the the M V Augusta factory. 10cent bus to the town but a lovely cycle ride around the lake with a supermarket en route

This is our first opportunity to be away for 3 months and really surprised how many babies and also young children that I would assume should be in school, (not the babies) especially from the Netherlands, I understand they have some flexibility with their hols but only by a margin week either side I think.

And that’s the problem, all the parents with new borns decide to go on hols and pull up next to us and wonder why I’m scowling at them, to be fair it’s not caused us to much of a problem but wonder why some of these huge sites can’t have an adults area, and now it’s Germany half term the kids noise levels have turned up to 11 on here

Yes thousands of the little buggers
We have just pulled up at a site in the Italian Mountains and so far no sign of any

That’s it you’ve done it now, just as your settling down with a nice beer/wine, a whoosh bang will pull up with a couple of nippers in

We had that at Florence, 12-30 at night and the Twat must have opened the doors 10 times

Anyway my girl Jack is up at 6-30ish every morning so I take them both out for a pee and a quick bark

We had 10 days at Camping Fornela at San Felice Lake Garda. Lovely spot next to the lake and fantastic restaurants onsite. The little train stops outside to drop you off near to Salo for ferries. They take big vans - spot the beauty
