Camping Cisano. Vito, Via Peschiera, 48, 1-37011 Cisano di Bardolino, Tel +39 045 62290998
To find site:- Exit A22 at Garda Sud. Follow signs for Bardolino/Largo
di Garda. In Bardolino take a sharp left on the roundabout towards
Lazise. The site is on the right as you enter Cisano and is signed. Do
not use a sat nav once off the motorway as you risk being taken down
some totally unsuitable roads!
Camping Cisano is a large site on the eastern shore of Lake Garda.
There are two pitching areas on either side of the road interconnected
by a tunnel for cars and pedestrians, motorhomes and caravans obviously
need to use the road route. The associated Camping Vito seems to be
either statics or seasonal caravans with only a handful of touring
pitches. There is a friendly reception where English is widely spoken.
Not only is the site large but also very busy and for anyone wanting a
peaceful early season stay it would be wise to avoid the first week of
June which seems to coincides with one of the main German school
holidays. Apart from camping pitches there is also a wide variety of
other holiday accommodation available including Tour Operators. The
actual touring pitches vary in size but on average around 80 sq. metres.
There are some larger pitches available but these are quickly snapped
up, usually by those that bide their time on one of the smaller pitches.
There are
a fair number of seasonal pitches which can make to site feel crowded.
The site
is slightly terraced so some on pitch levelling will be require. Some of
the site roads are quite tight, particularly with trees and parked cars
so you need to take care when arriving and departing. On arrival you are
usually taken round the site on a golf buggy to select a suitable pitch
for your unit. Electrical connections are via CEE17 blue plugs and are
rated at 4 amps although you do have the option of requesting and
upgrade to 6 amps at no extra charge. There are no water taps near to
pitches and water can only be obtained from the toilet blocks which
could mean some distance depending on where you are pitched. The are
several sets of toilet blocks which in the main are of a high standard
and contain seated pedestal toilets but no paper provided. Washing
machines and dryers are also available at the main blocks. The site not
only has a beach area on the lake but also an excellent pool complex.
Next to Camping Vito is a good sized site supermarket. On site is a
Pizza Restaurant which can also be used for takeaway food. The site does
have a WiFi service (new this year I understand) however it is expensive
and access points are not very reliable. The best place seems to be the
side and rear of the main reception building but the site have forgotten
to provide any means of sitting down to use the service! Out of the main
season the site accepts the ACSI discount card although there are
restrictions on what pitches can be used, i.e. not the first three rows
by the lake. Camping Cheques are also accepted but during the first week
of June there seems to be a substantial additional charge. Dogs are not
accepted on this site.
Many people will come here because of the onsite facilities but of
course there is much to see and do around the shores of Lake Garda.
Verona is about 17 miles away and is worth a visit. Food shopping
facilities are a bit limited in the immediate area with a Lidl in
Bardolino although if you are willing to travel a little further towards
the larger towns you will find more choice.
