Camping Rialto

Got eaten alive by bedbugs, do not sleep in mini chalet. We arrived late at night, so we did not se what was hiding in the cracks. Also they took our passports at check-in, and would not give them back before we paid the fee for our rooms, 2 days!! before we were going home. Never again.

We arrived from England into Treviso airport, we took the ATVO bus right outside the exit and you can but the ticket right there for €12 and it stops in Mestre che Venice. The ride to mestre takes like 30mins then you have to come off in mestre and get the local bus number 15, and 9 stops later, €1,5 each and around 16mins leaves you right outside Camping Rialto. They checked us in pretty quickly and only kept our passport for around 2hrs to do the check I. Documentations on their own room me and we then collected them later on. No deposit paid in cash as you pay at the the end of your stay. We stay on a 3 bed lodge with a bunk bed and a single, there is no night table and only 2 sockets and hooks on the room. Very hot during the day but nice and cool during the night, comfy but squeaky beds. The pool facilities are lovely but the entertainment seems to cater only for adults during weekends, so no very family oriented on that front, but during the week was lovely and quiet with families. You will notice also that the camping seem to sell entry tickets for non residents to use to the pool, so be aware that not all the people at the pool are residents of the campsite! We had the pizza for dinner from the main restaurant next to reception and paid €6 only for a lovely home made, very thin Margarita! Right outside the camping is a Lidl which is convenient but they do not sale ice so when you buy drinks you have nowhere to cool them and the camping will not give you our sell you ice! The breakfast is €7 for 2eggs, 2 hrs of toast and a tan of bacon with a juice vs a coffee shop not bad for a cooked breakfast. There is a near by park called San Guiliano only 3 bus stops on the way to Venice and if you want to do something different I would recommend as they have semi electric bikes to rent for €0,20 a min, play ground and plenty of trees and shade to have a picnic. The staff in Camping Rialto is absolutely lovely, Nonna Tecla treats everyone as part of the family.

The site is an excellent haven to visit Venice from. The cool pool is a must after a day in the city seeing the sites. It is well worth booking one of the brand new 2 bedroom mobile homes. Of you can get No.15 or one at the edge which has more outside space. The restaurant was also a good bet. Nb when you go into Venice head straight to ferry No.1 ( worth the queue) for the best way to arrive into San Marco
