We were 2 adults and 3 kids aged 10 - 13. This was our second visit to altomincio. The first visit 5 years ago was very positive and so we decided to return. The positives are all based on the pool areas and excellent slides, although we did find it all a bit more crowded this time around. Still, as a veteran of many campsites, they compare very favourably with anywhere else we've been. Negatives are perhaps linked to this overcrowding, basically, there's pretty much nothing else to do, so people have no option - pool or nothing. Particularly disappointing are the facilities available for sports, football, tennis, basketball, volleyball etc and the total lack of organisation around kids group activities. Having somewhere where kids can integrate organically through impromptu games is a fantastic way to keep them entertained and is available in several of the other campsite in the area. The pitches are particularly disappointing, 2 sets of goalposts on a piece of grass that is not maintained or cut, with a tree in the middle! Almost impossible to find and so far off the beaten track that the possibility of kids meeting up for an impromptu game are nil, the schedule for sporting activities as published by the park is fictional so that doesn't help. This would be an easy fix, even by maintaining the pitch to some degree, so not sure why the park doesn't do this. The other main point to make is that a car is a necessity, one would expect a shuttle bus provided by the campsite, but no, guests have to rely on public transport or taxis. A shuttle bus to peschiera with a nominal fee would be a tremendous addition here. We stayed in a hu mobile, it was clean and adequate in most ways, but from my point of view, cooking facilities were minimal, no kettle, no oven and a pointless cast iron plate bbq which didn't really increase my options, unfortunately it was 'la padella' or nothing for us, which really limited our cooking options. Overall, great pools, nice campsite but hu need to do more to make the experience better for groups with older children. It's ideal for families with kids up to 8/9, but for older kids it gets more difficult and lack of alternative activities makes entertaining them more problematic.
