Good facilities
Nice small campsite, with large pool and decent facilities. I was there in September and stayed in a house tent with three beds. It was a good size, very clean, but quite cold at night, and noisy from the nearby highway. You have to buy tokens to spend any money at the restaurant or the small mini-market, which I found quite annoying! Reception didnt open on time when we were checking out which made us late for our train. I stayed at three Plus Camping Campsites in Italy that month, and this one was the most disappointing. Its good value for money though.

Best ever stay for my europe trip
This is no doubt the best ever accommodation I had during my europe trip. The location is a bit outskirt. However with the clear direction given by the hostel, we were able to get there although we don't speak Italian. It takes about fifteen minutes' walk to bus stop where we catch the bus to island. Besides then location, everything is good good good. We booked a four-shared room, instead we get a double cabin, with no extra cost! The room was very clean, the toilet was very clean, and I got a big table with big piece of mirror to do make up there! I will definitely stay this place if I visit Venice again. It is cheap and clean and I love this place.

Best Campsite I've been to!
We stayed at Camping Jolly whilst attending the infamous Heineken Jammin' Festival 2007 that was ripped apart by a tornado and canceled so we were obviously a bit depressed by the situation. If it wasn't for the quality of this campsite and the goodwill of the friendly staff our holiday would have been a complete disaster. We spent most of our time catching jokes in the bar/restaurant/market area where there is plenty of good beer, wine, grappa, and food to get through. Many thanks to all the staff especially Pedro, and the guy from Florence who runs the bar, and the gorgeous brunette Patrizia in the restaurant who has a killer smile. We stayed in a mobile home with an en-suite, which was very good. All the amenities are excellent. Clean, Fun, and a Bargain!

Amazing
when i booked a campsite who knew what to expect. our two-person cabin was amazing. it was air conditioned and did we need it in ninety-degree heat! the room was super clean with an amazing hot shower with removable showerhead. the restaurant was not so good but there's a mini market and there's a fridge in your cabin so you can store food. there's an amazing pool and a gym and they have 3 euro round-trip buses to venice everyday. i loved this place.

I stayed in this campground in 1979 and it was such a nice visit that I was looking it up again and am pleasantly surprised to see the accommodations that are now available. When I was there it was only tent camping. If I am ever visiting Venice again, I will surely try it again. I had my first cappuccino in the cafe here and have never had one as good since. Great place, great memories!

This campsite was a lot of fun! The staff are really friendly and the cafe/bar they have has really good food and drinks are pretty cheap. They have a mini supermarket there as well so you can get anything you need. They also provide a shuttle to and from Venice which is pretty convenient. The only issue with this place is that the directions from the bus station are a bit confusing, but once you figure them out it's about a ten-minute walk. The last part of the directions is where they get confusing -- it says walk underneath the underpass which is right, but from where you're coming from it's first a bike path that once you walk down it turns into an underground pass, so keep that in mind when trying to find this hostel. We stayed in a cabin for four and it had it's own bathroom and was really nice!

It was a nice campground with good facilities. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The cafe/bar is good, and there is a camp store. We stayed in the bed tent, which was an experience. As long as you remember there isn't any sound insulation in a tent, you will be fine. A bit out of Venice, but only a ten-minute walk from the bus stop and only 1 euro each way to the city center, so that was never a problem. Make sure you get good directions before you go though, especially if you are traveling by bus. The bus directions from the website were quite confusing.
