  • Spacious riverside site within the Ticino Valley Natural Park
  • A 40-minute drive from Lake Maggiore and an hour from Milan
  • Pool, bar and restaurant, and bike and canoe hire
Up for lakes and rivers, nature walks and castles with a side serving of city slicking? Park up at Campeggio Playa di Valverde, a spacious site in the Ticino Valley Natural Park and in northern Italy’s Piemonte province. There's bags of room here: 50,000 square metres of Lombardy countryside right on the banks of the Ticino river, and all a 20-minute drive from the town of Novara and 40 minutes from mighty Lake Maggiore. While the emphasis here is on outdoor time, the team's worked hard to make a base that’s both comfy and convenient. When you’ve spent a day pedalling up and down the miles of mountain bike trails in the park, not to mention fishing on the river, cruising the lake or clambering over castles, you’ll have a special appreciation for cooling dips in the outdoor pool, as well as a bar and restaurant within an easy stroll of your quarters. When you're ready to get out and about and see what treats the surrounding area has in store, the site has canoe and bike hire as well as a shuttle bus to and from Malpensa airport.

What customers say

This campsite offers a friendly atmosphere and a good pool area with a reasonable on-site restaurant. Pitches are spacious with a choice of sun or shade. While some found the staff very helpful, others noted outdated facilities and cleanliness issues. Hot showers require tokens. The site appears to have a mix of touring pitches and permanent caravans, with some guests finding the management and services lacking. WiFi and signage were also mentioned as areas for improvement.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Zwembad, rustige camping. Redelijk net sanitair en vriendelijke mensen bij de receptie.

Disliked De sfeer, heel veel vaste gasten we voelde ons niet erg welkom. De dag van aankomst lagen we lekker op een bedje langs bij zwembad. De volgende dag werden alle bedjes verzameld en moest je ervoor betalen. De camping is verouderd en dat zeker niet waard. Voor 1 nacht prima.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Friendly staff, swimming pool

Disliked No toilet paper in the toilet block, have to pay extra for showers, pitches are not laid out so staff show you where to park. We were sandwiched in between gypsies on one side who stayed up making noise until 2am with their cigarette smoke coming in our windows, and the other side were too close with both our habitation doors facing each other so no privacy at all, again their smoke wafted into our motorhome. I’m sure once it was a nice place but it’s run down and has a weird feel to it.

Liked het onthaal. Francesco was ondanks zijn gebrekkig Engels zeer vriendelijk en behulpvaardig. Zwembad was ok.

Disliked Het geheel maakt een verouderde indruk en is aan opfrissing toe. Maar vooral de massale aanwezigheid van muggen waren storend. 's avonds kon je gewoon niet buiten zitten.

Recommend to friends Visit again

De douches waren koud, de wc’s vies en het afwas water koud.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked No hot water in the evening. Had to take cold shower. Toilets have no toilet paper and majority are crouching style toilets which is very bizarre. The whole site is very outdated. Broken fence around the pool and very run down altogether. Showers are paid for on top of the pitch price which is bad and there are bugs and spiders in the showers.

Local attractions

Arona, 45 minutes' drive away, is one of many pleasant stopping spots on Lake Maggiore, with a ninth-century ruined castle to explore and a vast bronze statue to climb up… and inside. Stresa, an hour away, has watersporting opportunities by the bucketload, as well as a zoo, botanical gardens and a boat service to the Borromean islands in the lake. Purchased by a wealthy dynasty in the 16th century, two of these isles are dotted with lavish houses and elegant gardens while the third preserves the lake-fishing traditions of long ago. The Milanese call Orta San Giulio (an hour's drive) and its lake La Cenerentola or Cinderella, as it’s the much-ignored little sister to Maggiore. That only makes it all the more inviting for day jaunts, gentle wanders round the sloping town and its hilltop sanctuary and boat rides out to the Benedictine monastery on the island. There are wildlife and walks aplenty within the Ticino valley, but for something wilder, drive for half an hour to Pombia Safari Park, where rhinos, giraffes and lions wander the Lombardy landscape. And for a fix of city sights, it’s an hour to Milan where you can see Da Vinci’s Last Supper hanging in the dining room of the former Santa Maria delle Grazie convent, tour Leonardo's workshops and half a dozen museums in the 15th-century Sforza Castle, or dine on a tram-restaurant and shop until you drop in the ‘golden triangle’ of commercial streets and boutiques.
