Camping San Marco

Good value camping on a busy beach stretch, we stayed for a week and would happily return. Advantages: + Swimming pool (10:00-13:00 and 15:00-19:00) clean and good for kids + Direct access to the beach + Well-shaded pitches, practically all + Excellent eatery on site with friendly staff (why so many people complain in other reviews I truly don't understand?). Fresh-baked croissants in the morning and very good pizza, fresh seafood. + All gates shut 23:00-7:00 with staff inspections to remind any people forgetting to adhere to night curfew + Excellent sanitary facilities DESIGNED FOR kids (baby bath, kids shower, kids toilets, etc.). I haven't seen anything like that even in Scandinavia. Can be improved: - Very dry pitches, mostly sand rather than grass. Possibly due to the fact that we visited during / just after the most severe draught in history. - Shop is poorly stocked. Not a big problem as shop on the nearest camping is just 100 metres away and offers excellent choice, but loosing an opportunity to keep guests spend on site - Siesta break on the reception and swimming pool from 13:00-15:00 is a small nuance. Main camping gate is closed shut, you cannot drive in or out in those hours, nor use the pool. Perhaps it's an Italian camping custom, but its hard to notice any noise change 13:00-15:00, children play as normal. This gate firm shut just complicates life.

This is a really nice camping ground. Clean, well organised and feels quiet and peaceful. The pitches have some shade and are a good size. The pool is great and the toilet and showers are excellent. The beach is sandy and safe. It's not cheap staying here but a similar price to most of the others around. One thing that really made me shake my head in disbelief is that the swimming pool closes from 12.30 - 3pm - right during the hot part of the day. This makes no sense to me and is very inconvenient when you pay a lot of money to stay here. Surely they can find someone to watch the pool over the lunch period so their customers can enjoy this important facility? Also, in my opinion, good wifi should be included in the price, not an extra.

Very nice place to stay, even for couple of nights! Easy access to Venice by bus and boat (19e return ticket). Very friendly staff, spoke good English. Very good and modern facilities, but unfortunately people staying at camping were acting like pigs, not respecting the facilities and were not taking much care about cleanliness and hygiene. Market was ok, not super expensive. Didn't try the restaurant since it didn't seem to be of a good quality. Small walk to couple of restaurants on the main road. Easy access to a small but often crouded beach. Great rooftop swimming pool and another pool for children/families. Silence at 23h00, but unfortunately often other campings around had animation and bands which was rather noisy for this camping. Animals allowed, which mostly didn''t bother, unless you get a neighbour like we did, which had tons of animals with, made much noise and had terribly smelly food for the animals. Thus camping is really nice, but it is all about which type of people stay there with you at the same time ;)
