Grado
This huge campsite is located on the mainland just over the causeway from Grado. Set in a fragrant pine forest it offers shady pitches for tents; fully equipped shower, toilet and washing facilities; plus some rather plush three-room bungalows overlooking the lagoon. The site also has two tennis courts, a mini-golf course and a beach.
Bikes and kayaks are available for hire, and the site is linked to Grado by a cycle path.
