Tucked away in the mountains, this campsite impresses with its tranquility and stunning natural views, offering a serene escape into nature with the gentle sounds of cowbells. Guests consistently praise the warm and personal welcome from the friendly Italian couple who run the site, with many noting the ease of arrival and the helpful staff at the on-site bar and restaurant. The campsite is described as a peaceful haven, perfect for those seeking simplicity and a return to basics, with clean sanitary facilities often highlighted as a positive feature, though some reviews mention occasional lapses in cleanliness. However, the access road is narrow and bumpy, challenging for larger motorhomes, and the entrance gate is tight with a dip that can cause vehicles to get stuck. The pitches lack clear demarcation and shade, with some being sloped and small, leading to a cramped feeling especially when tents occupy open space. Showers are coin-operated, requiring 50-cent pieces for three minutes of hot water, and a few guests have experienced inconsistent water temperature or no hot water at all; toilet paper is not provided, and there is no hairdryer. WiFi is effectively unavailable, as the owners rarely pass on the password or details about amenities, and mobile signal is reportedly poor in this remote area. A significant source of noise, contrary to expectations, comes from a neighboring herd of cows whose bells ring 24/7, and flies can be plentiful. The campsite's remote location means there is nothing nearby except fields, and the promised proximity to Lake Como is misleading, as it is a 15-minute drive away. Children's play facilities are lacking, though this may not bother short-stay guests. Late-night noise from a local party has been reported on occasion, though management does enforce a curfew for loud music. Payment is cash-only, and while laundry and dishwashing services are available, the shower system is often described as temperamental. Despite these quirks, many visitors appreciate the authentic, homey atmosphere and would gladly return for the peace and quiet, the beautiful mountain scenery, and the simplicity of the experience, recommending it for those who enjoy hiking and don't mind a bit of rustic charm.
