We stayed in Union Lido in July 2006. We booked a "camping home" which is a cross between a mobile home and a chalet. It had 2 bedrooms 2 bathroom and a kitchen / living room. The main bathroom had a spa bath which was great and we also had flat screen tv and a home cinema system! A full size fridge in the kitchen, microwave and cooker. The only let down was the aircon. Our unit was the very first of these new camping homes and the aircon was a total disaster. The temperatures were in the mid 30's and it was unbearable. It has a glass panel in the roof and it just cooks in the sunlight all day!
The complex itself is excellent and the food was fantastic and very reasonable. There is a 2nd part of the complex across the main road with another rest'nt which is by far the best and for a fancy place is fantastic for kids. The italians just can't get enough of the kids, even in the supermarkets they always have a little treat or a joke for the little ones. Also when there make sure to use the beach. The pools are so good people forget the beach which is really beautiful and is not at all crowded and the temperature of the water averaged 25c when we were there!
happy hols.

The Park is outstanding for pools. We never ventured to the beach. Our children loved all the water activities in the two pool areas.

There was never a moment when someone wasn't cleaning the toilet block. The children's shower room, bath and toilet (the Nursery Room) was FANTASTIC -- just the right size for our 5 year old and 3 year old. The Park was spotless and cudos to them for all the recycling amenities.

The bus and ferry to Venice were an excellent way to travel there. No need for a rental car, as there is not much to do outside of the Park.

To note:

The Park was occupied by at least 97% German tourists.

Bring plenty of cash. The supermarket, green grocer, etc. only accept cash; however, there are 2 cash machines on site for your credit card.

Although they require bathing caps at the pools (not really my style!), we never were caught out by not wearing one or just by wearing just a baseball cap.

The "sandy" beach at the poolside can be quite rough on the feet. The children didn't mind, but we adults do like our comfort. Would suggest bringing the waterproof, rubber type slip ons.

Try not to arrive on Saturdays/Sundays. The traffic along the Lido de Jesolo is HORRENDOUS. We travelled to Venice by bus and waited over an over on the Saturday for it to arrive.

Other than that, we had a great week and would recommend this site to families.

'I'm coming here again!' No, this wasn't what five-year-old Alice declared at the end of the holiday at Union Lido but what she yelled within the first second of entering the pool complex. In an instant she had clocked the suite of slides, fountains and water splash pools which supplemented the main pools. She was eventually prised away and persuaded to hit the beach in the afternoon. Even better.
Postcard-perfect, the Adriatic with its long stretch of azure blue shallow water lapped golden sands all under the watchful scrutiny of beautiful bronzed lifeguards in scarlet and white singlets and shorts strutting about the headland and skimming around the swimmers, pedallo sailors and windsurfers in their SALVATAGGIO boats. Okay, so I'm being a bit subjective here. Maybe Alice wasn't that interested in eye candy but we mums appreciate it. For seven years, now, our family has returned to Union Lido. I tell my friends I am going camping and they look at me in amazement. They recall my gruesome tales of camping in Britain: squelching around in wellies, shrink-warapped in a cagoule.
The 'entertainment' was endless rounds of I Spy: 'It begins with R and it's drumming on the roof of the tent ...' Union Lido can't take the credit for the weather, but for every other facility it rates 10/10.
Visit any of the 16 shower/loo blocks at any time throughout the day and you're more than likely to trip over a cleaner swooshing a hose pipe into every immacualte inch of the place. That quaint custom so beloved of the Lake District, the crucially-timed early morning lock up and the display of the 'Closed for Cleaning' sign seems never to have caught on here. No fights over keeping the kids clean, either, as there are suites of kid-sized facilities with showers, baby baths, loos, basins and ... wait for it ... even hairdryers. There are two supermarkets all stocking delicious food at very reasonable prices, greengrocers bursting with fab fruit and veg, a thrice-weekly fresh fish stall and if you don't feel like cooking, seven excellent restaurants, take-away stalls (don't miss the spit-roasted chicken) and a woodland barbecue site fitted out with benches, tables and a handy bar. This is truly a holiday site which puts families first. Cars are only allowed to travel during very short periods of the day and only then for getting on and off the site. Come 11pm and security staff patrol both the beach and the site - guiding youngsters back to their tents. A free environmentally friendly eco bus (think 'stretched golf buggy') is on hand to take the strain off weary legs. A professionally-staffed drop-in medical centre (complete with ambulance) is a reassuring presence. In the evening, the choice is yours: simply relax by your tent or caravan with a bottle of wine, share a barbecue with friends, take the kids to Bouncy World - which has more bouncy castles than any child, no matter how good they have been, deserves - (don't worry, it's right at the bottom of the site), or opt for a sophisticated soiree in the main square lingering over a romantic meal.
Buon appetito!

How to book: We have always used Bolero Holidays. This is a family firm and we have always been given personal attention. Their service is unfailingly first rate and their prices are very fair. They offer a choice of well-equipped tents, caravans and air-conditioned mobile homes. In addition, you can choose to use their coach service which again is excellent (especially if you are a cyclist as they have a custom-made trailer for transporting your bike), or you can organise your own flight and take a taxi from the airport. Bolero are very helpful about advising your choice of travel.

Alternatively, you can take your own tent or caravan and book direct with Union Lido.

Other major operators such as Eurosites, Eurocamp and Haven also offer accommodation.
