Insider Tip

Camping Fusina

The campground is by a ferry stop where you can catch a ferry to Venice's main island. The trip is about 20 minutes and very scenic.

There's also a bar, restaurant, and market on the grounds that guests can use as well as a swimming pool where you can take a swim to cool off.
