We stayed at the Bellagio site a few years ago ... see my review ...
Como is far more beautiful than Garda (IMHO) ... and ferrying around from town to town is a lovely way to see it all.
There are several routes, see here for three of the Michelin recommended ones.
If you go the Swiss route remember the vignette scenario:
In Switzerland you pay an annual motorway tax, even if you're only using the motorways for an hour or two. A vehicle sticker (vignette) must be displayed on the windscreen by all vehicles. Of course, if you don't need to use a motorway you don't need to pay, although it's difficult to cross the country without doing so. If you don't display a vignette you'll be liable to a fine plus the cost of the vignette. You can buy a vignette in the UK from the Swiss Centre. Call them on freephone 00800 100 20030 for information. You can also buy them in Switzerland from customs offices at the border or service stations, garages and post offices. Pre paying for your vignettes saves time at border crossings. The Swiss Motorway vignettes are valid for multiple re-entries into Switzerland. The vignette is valid between 1st December of the previous year and 31st January of the following year (printed on the vignette). If taking a trailer or a caravan, you will need to purchase an extra vignette.

You can purchase a motorway vignette by clicking the link below:

Thanks for your reply Kelper do you know what area of Lake Como is the one to go to but don't want it to be to commercialised.

We found Bellagio to be good ... it's about a third of the way 'up' the lake ... the south end is more commercialised.
It was well positioned for getting ferries to all parts of the lake.
I really can't advise on any other campsites, as we didn't use them ...
This has a good review
And so is this! ... I mean ... so does this!
