This small, green campsite in Lavena offers a pleasant, secluded atmosphere right on the shore of Lake Lugano, with well-shielded pitches that provide ample privacy, especially for compact campervans up to 5–6 meters long. The beautiful, mature plantings and old structures create plenty of space for each pitch, though spaces are not very large. Direct access to a lake beach makes it an ideal base for walks, cycling, and boat trips, with a short public transport ride connecting you to Lugano for day trips. The family-run operation warmly welcomes returning guests year after year. A small restaurant is located directly on the lake, and a larger one borders the campsite, providing convenient dining options. Swimming access to Lake Lugano is available from the campsite, complete with a small terrace. The surrounding area is beautiful, offering swimming, walking, and easy visits to Lugano or boat trips. Guests appreciate the well-shaded pitches and the direct access to the lake. The sanitary facilities are numerous and very clean, and there is a playground for children. The campsite is praised for being quiet and pleasant, making for an enjoyable stay. It is particularly pleasant in spring when many seasonal pitches are empty, keeping the site quiet despite occasional road noise. The owners are described as warm, friendly, and solution-oriented, adding to the welcoming vibe. However, note that dogs are not allowed, a policy that may not be clearly stated on the website, and the site is not suitable for large motorhomes but fine for tent campers. The overall condition of the campground and its facilities, including the sanitary blocks, shows signs of age. Despite this, the lakeside setting and easy transit links remain strong draws. Travelers seeking a quick getaway with good transport connections will find it a practical option.
