La Dolce Vita for less with Keycamp

The fastest way to kick the winter blues is to choose a family summer holiday, and with Keycamp offering up to a £100 discount on 2008 camping holidays booked before 6 November, there’s never been a better time to book; especially as early birds will get the pick of the self-catering holiday experts’ very best sites.

One site consistently topping Keycamp’s fastest selling list is the glorious Bella Italia campsite set on the shores of Lake Garda, which is rarely available after the Christmas holidays such is its popularity.

And little wonder. Within easy reach of historical gems like Verona and offering an extensive range of on-site activities and facilities including a fabulous swimming pool complex and sports such as fishing, canoeing and tennis, this campsite appeals as much to culture vultures as it does sports-fanatics and is sure to be a hit with the whole family. Wine buffs will also be impressed with the excellent vineyards nearby, while children will be thrilled by a trip to Gardaland theme park, which lies just five miles from the site.

A seven night stay at Bella Italia campsite in August 2008 starts from just £721 for a family of two adults and up to four children staying in a Villanova mobile home with decking. The price includes midweek return Dover-Calais crossings and has the maximum £100 discount applied, incorporating a £50 early booking deal and a £50 loyalty bonus for previous clients. Fly drive packages and overnight stays are available at a supplement.
