Buon giorno, am away from my desk so dont have all to hand, but in reply to a similar request back in March, we ascertained that Camping San Pietro did in fact have motorhome spaces. I also posted details of a new Municipal sosta within walking distance of central Verona. Have a look thru Italy postings in March.
enjoy the opera.
saluti,

We have booked for the season opening night for Aida June 20th. Could only get the stone seats and that was about 2 months ago. I booked online direct with the arena and the tickets were couriered to us next day!

We planned to stay at a site in Verona and walk in and out, but the Garda thing sounds better and to use the bus sounds even more so.

Quick note, just back. The ONLY campsite open in Verona is the Castel. The Romeo and Juliet site is totally closed. I drove past it on the way out and severals MHs and tuggers standing around what to do next. The castel is tiny, quirky and great fun run by a botanist. It is 10 minutes safe waking to edge of city plus say another 10 to arena and it is safe, but get a taxi back as it's uphill all the way and site locks the gate at 3am.

Max 7.5m is the size for MH's they told me. If you have a wee VW like mine, there were 3 on the lower deck so to speak. Big or medium they won't let you go down the steep lane.

Saw Aida on 1st night of season, what a spectacle if a little bum numbing!

Thanks Hampdhireman,

Trust you now have feeling in your nether regions.

Our van is 5.8m long, will we be able to park up at the Castel site ?

Verona

The city that captured Shakespeare’s heart. The amphitheatre, Juliet’s house, Romeo’s pad, the herb market, the lack of advertised campsites! We toured the city looking for the supposed sites, and in frustration headed off to Garda as we were having no luck. 5 miles down the road we find an ‘agroturistica’ and stop amongst the vines. We get to see this wonderful city and take in an opera, La Traviata. For all I know she could have been singing about her laundry list, but the music from the orchestra was beguiling so was well worth the 3 hours.

45 25 28.84N 10 49 53.00E or thereabouts, go past the long line of hookers, sports wholesaler, vintners and then a tiny sign on your right to camping.

it's about 6 miles out, so you need scooter, bikes or taxi
