Campsites for Lake Garda and Venice

At the end of April we are taking the caravan across the south of France and into Italy. Then up to Lake Garda, looking for a nice site there, that we can spend a few days exploring. The plan is then to go to Venice area, thinking the coast east of Venice where we can get a watertaxi into the centre of Venice. We did this from the south of Venice 30+ years ago.

Can anyone recommend sites that would be well placed for doing this and also able to ride our bikes safely along the coast. 

Hopefully France will have settled down by the end of April 🤞 and we can do this. Plan B is in the making 😉

Thanks Kasspa, Extugger and AD, some very useful information from you all. 

We aim to be arriving at Lake Garda in the first week of May so was hoping not to have to book in advance, am I wrong?

Tammygirl, right!  Arriving Lake Garda first week in may you should be fine.  Best not too arrive too late in the day, just in case

Thanks, we tend not to arrive late so should be OK.

Hi Tammygirl

The motorway east from Genoa towards La Spezia twists and turns through multiple tunnels and requires intense concentration. If you’re heading towards Venice I’d recommend you head north from Genoa and drive to the south of Milan, joining the A4 motorway near Brescia. The A4 is very busy, being one of the main routes west from Eastern Europe but it’ a fast motorway and providing there are no accidents you can maintain a good speed. The motorway system around Venice has improved over the last few years and is no longer a bottleneck. If you do go back to Bibione I recommend you leave the A4 at Portogruaro rather than Latisana. The route to Bibione is far easier that way. You will see lots of changes in Bibione not the least of which are a number of well made dedicated cycle paths from Bibione all the way to Lignano, some along the beach and other inland or along the rivers.

Dave, thank you very useful info.

I think we will do as you suggest.

A visit to Bibione is on the cards, might mean skipping something else later on but who cares as long as we enjoy what we are doing, we can always go back again another time and fill in the blanks. 😊
