Why Go Camping in Italy? By Lorraine Waddel At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

When people think of European camping holidays, Italy often isn’t their first thought. But there are many reasons why this overlooked camping destination should be higher on their list of places to go.

Quality Campsites and Mobile Homes

The campsites in Italy offer you choice, reliability and comfort as well as hotel style facilities. Spacious tents and mobile homes with en-suite and cooking facilities are available in a range of locations. You also have a huge amount of choice as to where you take your Italian camping holiday; you can go to areas of breathtaking natural beauty, such as Lake Garda, or decide on a more city based break, camping within easy driving distance of Rome, Venice, or Milan.

We suggest trying the Marina di Venezia, our favourite campsite in Italy. Close to the Venetian lagoon itself, the Marina di Venezia is one of the largest and best campsites in this area of Italy. It has direct access to a beach, a brand new swimming pool and fountain complex as well as plenty family activities to keep everyone happy.

The Weather

As a nation where it seems to rain a lot of the time, many British people believe that Europe must be the same way. However, Southern Italy has weather similar to the rest of the Mediterranean and parts of central and northern Italy are on average two degrees hotter than the UK! In the far north it becomes much cooler, but since the far north of Italy is dominated by the Alps it makes this location ideal for walking or other sporting activities.

The Things to Do

There’s a huge amount of things to do when you holiday in a tent or a mobile home in Italy. If you choose the Marina di Venezia site I talked about earlier, you have Venice right next door. The city has a long history of culture and extravagance, and has some of the best known architecture on the planet.

The floating city is a maze of waterways, bridges and pontoons and has something for everyone. Huge historic buildings such as St. Mark’s Basilica and La Fenice opera house will delight architecture buffs, and the scale and construction of Venetian building on such uncertain foundations amazes all visitors.

Venice is incredible at any time, but to see the epitome of Venetian life you have to go during “Carnovale” or carnival time. Throughout February the city bustles with parties and events, a key factor being the masked balls and revels which have an ancient tradition there since the thirteenth century in Italy. The buzz of city life is heightened to a pitch and visitors can join in with the colour, sights and splendour of this amazing tradition.

If you choose Marina di Venezia (or any of the other great campsites in Italy) you are bound to enjoy yourself. The Italian lifestyle, the change of pace, the opportunity and the enjoyment to be found on a camping holiday in Italy are immense and not to be missed. So if all of this sounds like your type of break, why not consider camping in a tent or mobile home in Italy this summer?
