  • Highly scenic site on the south-western shore of Lake Maggiore
  • Football field and well-equipped beachfront playground
  • Wakeboarding school plus private lake beach with beachfront bar
Bordered by the Ticino River and the Ossola mountains, this roomy lakeside site in Castelletto sopra Ticino has a good range of water- and land-based activities for all ages and abilities right from the site and within very easy reach. Camping Lido Verbano lies on the south-western shore of Lake Maggiore, which mirrors a landscape of pine forests and ancient mountains, 20 minutes' drive from the nearest international airport and right next to lots of shops, bars and good restaurants in the town. Not that you necessarily have to go searching for a bar or restaurant, as the Verbano Beach Bar is open during high season. The Verbano Self Restaurant is also open at varied times and days between mid March and early October. Visitors can spend their days tackling the waves with the site's own wakeboarding school, which offers lessons with its friendly instructors if needed. For those who fancy having a go at other watersports during their hols, there are lots of schools along the lakeshore that offer lessons in pursuits such as canoeing, waterskiing, sailing, yachting, diving and snorkelling. For two-wheelers and peeps à pied, a scenic path that's directly accessible from the park winds its way around the lakeshore to make the most of the spectacular views. There's also a private and gently sloping grassy beach with a well-equipped playground, which means that the kids can muck about twhile parents lounge around with peace of mind. A tennis court and a football field are also on site, and boats can be boarded at the site's modern jetty. Friendly dogs are very welcome – in fact, they're so welcome that they have two dedicated areas: one near the central bar and another area opposite the beach. Barbecues are allowed, and you can pick up your bits from a shopping mall near the resort.

From the manager: Chère Jennifer Bonjour, Nous vous remercions d'avoir contacté le Camping Lido Verbano et d'avoir choisi de passer vos vacances avec nous. Notre camping dispose de plusieurs types d'emplacements en fonction de la somme que vous êtes prêts à dépenser, mais la différence est très faible. Le premier emplacement à moindre coût est le long séjour qui, contrairement aux autres, est un peu plus éloigné de la plage mais reste confortable et proche des toilettes pour toute éventualité. Un autre type, le bord du lac, est celui qui est le plus demandé par les gens ; il donne sur le lac et a un coût acceptable. Le dernier emplacement est la Spiaggia (plage) qui, contrairement à tous les autres, est située sur la première rangée et offre une vue magnifique. Tous les emplacements sont entourés d'arbres, ce qui permet de bénéficier d'un peu d'ombre pendant la journée. À côté, un bar de plage est idéal pour déguster des en-cas et se détendre avec un verre en plein air. Vous pouvez également vous rendre au restaurant qui propose un service de plats à emporter. Nous vous souhaitons un bon été. Erica Andrea L'équipe du camping Lido Verbano

Scott B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch (lake view)

Liked: Great location at the edge of Lago Maggiore, the kids loved playing in the water. Easy access for day trips to Stresa / Verbania / Milan. Lots of supermarkets and fast food restaurants within walking distance or a short drive.

Disliked: Pitch was a nightmare for pegging a tent, not sure if our pitch was normally reserved for motorhomes or caravans, it seemed pitches closer to the waters edge were more rocky.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Scott good morning, Thank you for choosing to stay within our campground. In the campground there are three types of pitches the standard ones with the lowest cost and then move on to the lake ones the most requested and the beach ones that have the higher cost but with a spectacular view of our Lake Maggiore and directly on the beach. The pitches have different sizes and that is why we try to be as clear as possible when booking by asking the size of your camper. At 10 a.m. every morning our beach bar opens in front of the beach where you can get something to drink and eat or even just a tasty ice cream. We thank you for leaving your review and wish you a good summer! Erica Andrea The Staff -Camping Lido Verbano

Lynne M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch (lake view)

Liked: There were lots of good things about this site if you are traveling in a motorhome. There’s a couple of supermarkets within easy walking distance. There’s a bus stop outside. A train station about 1.5 kms away (although the walk is along a busy road) which enables to you visit many places on Lake Maggiore and almost anywhere else if you go to Milan first. The pitches overlook the mouth of the Lake. You can swim in the Lake and water sports are available. There are lots of other sports facilities on site including football, volleyball and tennis. There’s free wifi at the pitch which seems to be a rarity in Europe. Hire car is available from Sempion Cars at the entrance to the site. It’s a family run business and they are the best hire car company I have ever dealt with. There’s a great Italian restaurant alongside the site, an indian restaurant (Moghal) with amazingly tasty food a short walk away and a coffee/gelato shop selling a wide selection of excellent Italian bread opposite. Facilities at the site are cleaned twice daily.

Disliked: It said in the Pitch up description that there’s direct access to walking routes from the site. If there is, nobody seems to know about it. There is a beautiful walk along the River Ticino but you have to walk nearly two kilometers along a busy road with no footpath to get to it. The site gets very busy/noisy on the weekends with lots of local day and weekend visitors. The food at the restaurant is reasonably priced but very small portions and not great quality. The owners could up their game in this area which I’m sure would pay them dividends. The staff were friendly and helpful but not particularly knowledgeable about the local area. Providing an information pack about the local area would be helpful.

From the manager: Dear Lynne good afternoon, We would like to thank you for choosing to spend your holiday at our campsite and for leaving a full review that in just a few lines described what you can find at the campsite. There is also a wakeboarding school, which is ideal for people who want to try a different sport at least once in their life, and it is possible to rent sup and kayaks. In addition, on these sunny days we offer the opportunity to grill with our rented grills and spend a carefree and peaceful day. We are a growing company and your feedback is useful so that we can always do better and satisfy our customers. We wish you a good summer and hope to see you again soon.

Allerdings war zu unserer Reisezeit wenig los, im Sommmer wird es sicher sehr lebhaft und laut sein- nichts für Ruhesuchende:)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Guten Morgen, Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie während Ihres Aufenthalts auf diese Probleme gestoßen sind. In den Badezimmern gibt es kein Toilettenpapier, da viele Menschen viel Toilettenpapier für die Herstellung des Toilettenblocks verwenden. Fluglärm ist normal, da wir in der Nähe eines Flughafens sind, aber die Flugzeuge passieren nicht jede Minute und auf jeden Fall stören sie 1 Minute lang, wenn sie vorbeifliegen und dann abfliegen. Die Stellplätze sind nicht mit Wasseranschlüssen ausgestattet, aber wenn Sie sich an die Rezeption gewendet hätten, hätten wir sicherlich eine Lösung für Ihre Bedürfnisse gefunden. Wir danken Ihnen weiter, dass Sie bei uns geblieben sind. Wir wünschen Ihnen einen guten Tag Erica, Andrea und das Personal.

Local attractions

On the south side of the Alps, Lake Maggiore straddles the border between Italy and Switzerland; it's Italy's second largest lake and the largest in southern Switzerland, and offers a whole heaps of watersports activities at the schools and centres that lie along the lakeshore, such as canoeing, waterskiing, sailing, yachting, diving and snorkelling. When you're up for a spot of town-based history you can visit one the primary towns on Maggiore's southern shore, Arona, a fast five kilometres away, for strolls around its lakeside promenade, pretty piazzas and old winding streets – from here the views of the lake and the surrounding mountains are utterly smashing. For a day out with the kids, Pombia Safari Park (15 minutes' drive) houses a huge array of animalia, from zebras and camels to rhino, ostriches, amphibians and fish; there's also an amusement park here with classic rides such as log flumes, a pirate ship, a ferris wheel and a go-karting track for fun-fuelled family competition.
