  • 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 While some found the staff very helpful, others noted outdated facilities and cleanliness issues.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.

Liked Le monsieur qui s’occupe du bar est très gentil et relève le niveau du camping.

Disliked Un camping très mal entretenu malgré un très grand potentiel.
Des douches avec des jetons (1 jeton par personne et par jour) et même pas le même temps pour toutes les douches, les femmes n’avaient pas le temps de se rincer les cheveux !!!
Piscine très petite et pas chauffée.
L’entretien des sanitaires laisse à désirer !!!

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.

From the manager: Gentile cliente

grazie ancora per averci scelto

Spokojne miejsce z pięknym widokiem na rzekę, bez luksusów, ale tanio.

Liked + Lokalizacja nad piękną rzeką, część miejsc campingowych nad samym brzegiem z super widokiem. Wschody słońca nad rzeką przecudne! Można obserwować ptaki wodne!
+ Dużo miejsca, zróżnicowane parcele (część wydzielona żywopłotami, większość w cieniu drzew).
+ Możliwość podłączenia prądu, tylko trzeba pamiętać o właściwej wtyczce (włoskie mają 3 bolce).
+ W cenie campingu jest po jednym żetonie na prysznic każdego dnia dla każdej osoby. Można w barze lub recepcji dokupić więcej żetonów.
+ Niedaleko (ok. 5 min. autem) centrum handlowe oraz kilka supermarketów.
+ Niedaleko (ok. 5 min. autem) stacja kolejowa z bardzo wygodnym pociągiem do Mediolanu.
+ Toalety do wyboru albo ze zwykłym sedesem, albo wygodna toaleta kucana (tylko w obu trzeba mieć swój papier toaletowy).
+ Jest niewielki basen, choć my woleliśmy kąpiele w rzece (dobrze mieć buty na jeżowce ze względu na kamieniste dno).
+ Bar serwuje napoje i przekąski cały dzień, a restauracja pracuje od godz.19 do 23. Są miejsca do grillowania. Jest plac zabaw dla dzieci i boisko z bramkami.
+ Bardzo sympatyczny i pomocny personel, choć w większości nie mówi po angielsku. Ale pani z recepcji zna angielski więc swobodnie można się dogadać.
+ Na terenie jest bardzo spokojnie, mimo że sporo ludzi. Camping położony pomiędzy dwiema niewielkimi miejscowościami, lekko oddalony od drogi, dzięki czemu jest ustronnie. Część mieszkańców jest na stałe, więc wszystkim zależy, żeby było spokojnie. Jak zdarzyli się jednej nocy hałasujący imprezowicze, to po interwencji mieszkańców i recepcji przez dalszy pobyt już byli cicho. W ciągu dnia przy barze i basenie gra muzyka.
+ Przy basenie jest jeden duży zespół sanitarny z prysznicami, umywalkami, toaletami, itd. Drugi jest w innym miejscu z samymi toaletami i umywalką, żeby nie trzeba było za każdym razem maszerować przez calutki camping. Wygodne jest to, że w kilku miejscach można znaleźć dodatkowe krany z wodą.

Disliked - Pod prysznicem po wrzuceniu żetonu nigdy nie wiadomo ile czasu będzie lecieć woda. Zdarzało się, że gdy dużo osób na raz korzystało, to nie było ciepłej wody.
- Nie ma pralki, ale są zlewy, w których można ręcznie przeprać rzeczy.
- Sjesta jest trochę uciążliwa (to dotyczy ogólnie Włoch, nie tylko campingu) i trzeba pamiętać, że np. między godz. 13.00 a 15.00 nie da się wjechać, ani wyjechać, bo wtedy szlaban się nie otwiera.
- Do lotniska Malpensa jest tylko 15 km, samoloty podchodzą co kila minut do lądowania i tak przez całą dobę. Niestety trochę jest przez to hałasu. Można się przyzwyczaić, alternatywą są korki do uszu.
- Komary! Jest ich wieczorami bardzo dużo. Warto mieć ze sobą różne preparaty na ich odstraszanie.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked La piscine agréable car chaleur écrasante la journée quand nous y étions.
Calme le soir sauf le dernier soir ou des ados ont crié jusqu'à minuit.
Proche de Milan

Disliked Seulement un jeton par jour et par personne pour prendre une douche et les douches vétustes, j'aurai voulu au moins prendre une douchette froide le matin après une nuit à suer dans la tente, mais l'eau est coupée quand on ne met pas de jeton. Gros trous dans le plafond dans les douches.
Toilettes avec des douchettes complètements inondées tout le temps, pas de papier présent.
Enormément de moustiques, c'était HORRIBLE!! A 20h on devait être dans nos tentes sous peine d'être pri d'assauts par les multitudes de moustiques. Il y a une rivière juste à coté du camping qui doit les attirer. Nous avons été piqués énormément et même en allant faire la vaisselle aux sanitaires.
Le camping a du avoir des jours meilleurs car cela mériterai d'être repeint.
Pas des masses d'ombre sur l'emplacement.

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 people 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.

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.
