SUMMARY:- A pleasant friendly site with great views over Lake Garda and decent amenities. A little steep in places and not much to do in the immediate (1-2 km) area. Pitches a bit cramped in high season.
We stayed here in August 2011 and it was jam packed with not a pitch or mobile to spare. There was a heatwave on as well and it was very hot. We hadn't stayed here before, but the campsite had been recommended to us and we enjoyed our stay here. The Eurocamp reps Norman and Pauline were great and the tent was ok - but the pitch was a little cramped and the tent was mega hot in the afternoon. Everybody went down to the swimming pool or the lake so it didn't really affect anyone too much.
The site itself is on a hillside across and overlooking the interesting town of Salo (2.5km). The lakeside is about 500m at the bottom of the hill. Camping Weekend has a good entertainment complex consisting of a swimming pool, bar, restaurant and supermarket. The restaurant was decent and competitively priced. There was animation every night that began with a kids disco about 7pm. The bar closes quite early (at 11pm I think) and there isn't a lot else to do around the site. The staff are pretty friendly and I think that the site might be owned by Dutch people as there are a lot of Dutch staff here.
There are a huge number of sites around Lake Garda and I would say that this is definitely one of the better ones. It has a nice easygoing friendly vibe and I would recommend it for families with youngsters. However, it is a little steep in parts and there is little else happening within a km or so of the site, so teens might get itchy feet and old uns might get sore feet.
Best thing - the views.
Worst thing - the wi-fi is poor. You will probably have to sit outside reception to get a signal - and it ain't cheap either.
