Have spent last 3 years at le bois de valmarie in South of France, absolutely perfect. Prior to that 2 years at Sant Angelo campsite near Venice. Trying to find one this year that has a bit more for teenagers, eg football pitch, table tennis, snooker tables etc etc but NOT into loud raucous evening entertainment. Bar/restaurant etc fine. I've found bella italia at Lake garda, la baume France and El delfin Verde Spain which meet all criteria, but bit worried about loud lary evenings? Can anyone comment or suggest anywhere else?

Haven't been to Bella Italia, but have heard it's more for under 12's? Loved La Baume, but returning to El Delfin Verde for the 3rd year this summer! No waterslides like La Baume, but it's fab being able to walk straight onto the beach. You have to drive from La Baume.Both in stunningly beautiful areas, but the French Riviera is about 3 times more expensive than the Costa Brava! The entertainment ends at 11/1130 in DV and the security are very strict at enforcing the silence rule. Loads for teens, watersports on the beach, sports tournaments, teenage beach club alcohol free bar etc. Check out Lifestyle.co.uk or the sites own accommodation.

Is it true there's no Wi-Fi?

Haven't been to Bella Italia but Lake Garda though beautiful must be one of the most boring places on earth.

Haven't found any campsite with great WiFi (can anyone help)? Free WiFi with a drink in the bars in Delfin Verde. Heard you can get it with the sat nav with car hire though. Don't think there's any free wifi on Bella Italia. Haven't been to La Baume in recent years, so haven't a clue about that.

Thanks. It sounds brilliant but I'm not sure I could cope without Wi-Fi.

Great advice mirm thank you. Sound like el delfin might suit us and yes, direct access to beach is good. That's what's fab about venetian riviera sites. Want the 15 yr old to bugger off and play football, but don't want to listen to luna park /neighboring campsite disco til the early hours! Many thanks.
