Prosecco and camping make an unbeatable duo. I wasn't a tent camping devotee, but this hidden treasure in the heart of Prosecco country won me over completely. Seeking a campsite where you instantly feel at home? Look no further than Camping al Lago.
Nestled beneath the Dolomites in Italy's Treviso province, this spot is pure paradise—the Prosecco paradise. Tucked away here is a true gem: a small, welcoming campsite that's the perfect launchpad for exploring the stunning surroundings.

Though petite, this gem in the village of Tarzo offers something for all. Don't expect sprawling waterparks, kids' clubs, multiple eateries, or shops—it's refreshingly straightforward, yet fully equipped. Enjoy a pool and natural lake, with free sunbeds, cushions, and umbrellas. The lake features a simple jetty and diving board—simple perfection. Relax at the bar and terrace for snacks and drinks. No full camp store, but fresh sandwiches and local Prosecco are on hand.
For our family, key must-haves are spotless facilities, spacious pitches, on-site swimming, nearby dining, and breathtaking scenery—all delivered here effortlessly.
Our kids have their own priorities: our 10-year-old son craves play and swim time; our 12-year-old daughter needs friends and solid WiFi. They got it all.
The star attraction? Ten trampolines sparking instant friendships and self-organized evening games. Positioned by the main WiFi hotspot, they're next to a bar serving ice cream, beer, and exquisite Prosecco. Cozy tables invite board games, chats, or social updates—drawing families of all ages. Little ones plan games, teens chill with table tennis, staying out late in perfect harmony. Owners Danilla and Giorgio, with their team, create magic: Danilla ensures respect and rule-following; Giorgio's infectious smile sets the tone.
The location seals it: immerse in nature, vibrant towns, superb food, and Prosecco. It's an ideal hub for family day trips beyond the hills.
Top pick: La Strada del Prosecco, a scenic drive from Conegliano to Valdobbiadene through Prosecco vineyards. Stunning views captivate everyone. Under 50km, stop in Refrontolo for Molinetto della Croda, a historic watermill by a 12m waterfall.
Free route, marked by signs or available via Google/tourist offices. Cantinas welcome tastings (and sales) of Prosecco and local bites—no pressure to buy.
Perfect rainy-day outing: Head to Conegliano's shopping center (20 mins away). Clear skies? Tour the castle and Vespa the Strada for extra thrill!
The provincial capital is a gem—charming streets, architecture, gelato. A touch upscale. Seek Fontana del Tetta ("tit fountain"): a cheeky statue with wine from her breasts on feast days. We missed it, but laughed anyway!
Just 15 mins away: supermarkets, cafes like Commerce for espresso, and Monday's market bustle.
An hour away, unmissable. Park-free train or our choice: Fusina boat (€10 parking/day, €48 return for four). Skip gondolas; bridge views suffice (teens agree). Stroll from San Marco—gelato fueled the kids through heat. Planning a return for Burano and Murano.
Family-friendly hike through caves. Park near Grotta della Madonna chapel; minimal fees (parking). Pack drinks—restaurant at end.
Scenic drive to Lago del Mis (icy blue lake amid mountains—picnic paradise, locals approve, Prosecco included!). Short kid-easy walk to falls. Kids loved it but rushed back for camp games. Skipped nearby Belluno—next time.
Planning our next trip, Camping al Lago lingers fondly: tent-side book, Prosecco, playing kids, views, and my talented chef husband. Can't wait to return!
