Alan Rogers Review
Camping Continental Lido is a large, bustling site situated on the shore of the charming little Lake Mergozzo, about one kilometre from the better known Lake Maggiore. The average size touring pitches are back to back in rows on grass and although a little close together, the rest of the site has a more open feel. All have 6A electricity, TV connections, water, drainage and there is some shade. There are also 287 mobile homes and 14 apartments available to rent. There is an impressive pool complex and a small sandy beach slopes gently into the lake where swimming and watersports can also be enjoyed (no powered craft may be used).
A bustling entertainment programme is provided, centred around a very large amphitheatre. Pine-clad mountains and a pretty village directly opposite the beach provide a pleasing, scenic background. An unusual feature here is the nine-hole golf course. There is a busy programme of activities from May to September. Under the same ownership as Camping Village Isolino, this site is managed by the son, Gian Paolo, who speaks good English.
