Looking for some help and guidance

As we all do I am using the winter months to plan the 2018 calendar. One of the events I am interested in is Gravedona, Como, Italy but I cannot find any information on the important things such as nearby campsites, bars, eatery, local attraction and things to do when not sailing.

I know that the RS200 went there in 2017 so any help would be very much appreciated

I've been to Gravadonna 3 times in the last 4 years, it is my favourite venue,

Campsites are available at nearby Dongo. The club itself has a café that serves snacks, coffee and beer all day. For large events they sometimes let classes camp in the meadow next to the club.

The town is a beautiful and only 5 min walk from the club, it is full of lakeside bars and restaurants. From the mid way up the town lake front you can catch the hydrofoil that will take you to all the major towns on the lake, all of which are steeped in history. more locally the 'townhall' is a huge lakeside castle that is worth visiting.
