This family-run campsite in the mountains near a beautiful natural park has earned a loyal following over the years, offering an exceptional base for hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders. Guests can step directly from their pitch onto nature trails, including those in the Val Fondillo park, and even rent electric mountain bikes on site. The generous, partly shaded pitches can comfortably accommodate large motorhomes, and in some years campers are free to choose their own spot. The on-site Vecchio Mulino restaurant by the lake consistently surprises with exceptional cuisine, notably fresh trout prepared by a skilled chef, plus a bread roll service for convenience. The peaceful atmosphere and stunning mountain views create a genuinely relaxing retreat, ideal for those prioritizing tranquility over modern luxury. Active visitors appreciate the tennis and volleyball courts, while the beautifully equipped playground keeps younger children happily entertained. Sanitary facilities have received mixed reports over the years: while some find them old, dated, and in need of renovation, others note they are kept clean and functional, with warm water in showers. However, the chemical toilet disposal point has been a recurrent issue, sometimes described as muddy, unkempt, or missing entirely, with guests directed to use the greywater drain. When large groups arrive, previously spacious pitches can feel cramped, and the owner has been unreceptive to discussing alternative arrangements. Despite these drawbacks, the generous pitch sizes, quiet setting, and excellent location keep visitors returning year after year. The family-run operation is known for being friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming experience. While facilities show some signs of wear, the impressive cleanliness in recent years signals ongoing improvements. The combination of spacious shaded spots, high hygiene standards, and quality dining makes this a well-rounded destination for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
