There are plenty of places but you will need to be booking one as soon as possible and the prices will be scary.
August is summer holiday for most of Europe so it will also be busy.
I suppose the advice about not going during the summer holiday is OK if you have that option. If, like us, it isn't possible for you then the area is still well worth visiting in August.
Last year we stayed at, and have no hesitation in recommending, Camping Cappuccini http://www.camp-cappuccini.com/en/ In fact we will be there again this summer, in late July.
Thats looks a lovely site but am I reading it right two adults and a pitch is £46 euros? Are all the sites that exspensive?

Last year we stayed at,.
So did we, beginning of June. Could not sleep for the heat.
End of May or September - perfection. Much as I love the place I think August will be a totally different experience.

Yes you are reading it right and yes they are all like that. Some are even more.
Last year, in August with 2 adults, 1 teenager and 2 dogs, it cost us about €70 a night. It's a little less this year because the teenager isn't coming but still a lot.
You're paying for the location though. It's a great site (coming from me, who hates campsites!), big pitches, all facilities, pool, bar, restaurant. There's direct access to the lake beach which is brilliant for swimming and is dog friendly and the site has it's own beach bar.
They seem to have the rate about right though because it will be full through the high season - if you wanted to go there this July or August you'll need to be booking in the next couple of weeks or you won't get a pitch[/

€70 a night does sound a lot of money to park a moho. But then (by way of comparison), we were charging - and people were (happily) paying and re-booking - €70 a night for a family of 3 at our French B&B back in 2003. Ok, our punters weren't supplying their own bedroom, but it (kinda) puts things in perspective.Yes you are reading it right and yes they are all like that. Some are even more.

A quieter alternative would be Lake Iseo (Lago D'Iseo) which is much less busy and well worth a visit
when they still had the Lira .
