Camping Fontanelle

We booked a superior cabin with a lake view and a terrace. There was nothing superior about it - we didn’t even have a kettle. There was no lake view, and the terrace comprised a small area of concrete shared with another cabin situated approx 3 metres away from us. When we first arrived, we noticed a few ants around one of the closed windows, but sprayed some repellent and thought no more about it. However, when we awoke the next day, the whole cabin was infested with ants. They had been coming in through small gaps in the unopened windows. We had to abandon the cabin immediately, including some of our belongings, which were crawling with ants. We were offered an alternative cabin for our second night, but by that time we had lost all faith in the site. We were offered no compensation or refund for our first night. A pretty terrible experience really.

We had a super week camping at Fontanelle. The selling point was definitely the location, right on the lakeside with a short walk to many restaurants and bars - a good atmosphere. The pitch was a good size and more than adequate for a big tent and car. Ours was quite sunny but other pitches were more shady. The toilet facilities were cleaned regularly, quite basic but ok. The chance to hire pedalo's and paddle boards right outside. Check in staff were very friendly and helpful - we hired a fridge for the week. We didn't use the pool much as it was busy and in full sun. This was a good location for visiting the lake and to see Verona and a full day out to Venice.
