We are thinking of a trip to Lake garda at easter. The site we are looking at is Bella Italia. Has anyone any experience of either the site or more importantly the weather in April? Also can anyone suggest the best route to travel? thanks in advance.

Hi there, have just come back from Woodland Waters , stayed there for 5 nights at new year and attended their new year event. Was excellent ! It's a commercial site so obviously not as strict and regimental as a caravan club site but we think its excellent. The lake is lovely for a walk around...

if we are booking in advance we rarely go over 400 miles in a day. Whn we go out of season, we dont book in advance and have travelled well over 500 miles in a day. based on your journey, i would give 2 stopovers personally. Have fun!!!!

Hi Al, long time no speak!!!! hope the family are OK. on your point, we have been to Clumber a few times recently with no issues however on check in last time we were told to remove valuables such as Tom tom from the car!!!! think the idea regarding security is a good one that would work...

The Carsington cycle trail is extremelly hilly in places. not for the faint hearted!!!! great fun though. we use the lickpenny site near Matlock, its wonderful.

we had a fab time at this site. loved everything about the site apart from the dead snake that we saw!!! not good when you wife has a phobia of them!!!. only downside was we did not like Marennes. La Rochelle and Royan are gorgeous but a 30/40 minute drive away. The site was excellent with...

Hi, we have been to this site loads of times and are always impressed by it every time. We have used it as stopovers enroute to further south in France and also Spain many times and last year actually stayed there for 5 nights, we have sdtayed in the sunny area (I believe) behind the pool, and...
