  • Quiet Piedmont site on the southeast shores of Lake Orta
  • A five-minute drive from Orta San Giulio’s medieval old town
  • Views of San Giulio Island; a couple of minutes’ walk from a beach
It’s no wonder that so many people want to go to Lake Orta in northern Italy, tempted by flicking through pictures of its blue water surrounded by lush green slopes and adorable little beaches. Camping Bellavista takes up a prime position on the lake’s southeast shore, overlooking San Giulio Island. The quiet, green setting is only a 10-minute drive away from Orta San Giulio's medieval old town and ferries to the historic island. Spacious and well equipped, the scenic site has modern toilets, hot showers and a play area where kids can let off steam. The reception has a helpful information point, should you want to browse your options for excursions, although one of the key things to note is that the nearest beach – a small, pebbled destination with spectacular views – is just a couple of minutes’ walk away from the site. There is a bakery selling fresh bread and a variety of other products on the edge of Orta San Giulio, five minutes’ drive away. If you need further supplies, head out to the shops and restaurants in the old town, which are a 10-minute drive away. From the old town, there are ferry connections to San Giulio Island, where you can tour the historic Basilica di San Giulio. While Lake Orta is clearly the main attraction at Camping Bellavista, this is also a very nifty spot for getting out to famed Lake Maggiore, which is within a 25-minute drive, or the 1,492-metre-high Western Alps mountain Mottarone, which is within half an hour’s drive.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its friendly welcome, beautiful lake views, and proximity to a nearby beach. Guests highlight the cleanliness of the facilities, including toilets and showers. While many enjoyed the peaceful setting and good value, some found the location remote and noted a lack of on-site amenities like a shop. Manager replies indicate plans for a minimarket and ongoing improvements to the newly opened site.

Liked Friendly helpful staff, nice location although a bit of a trek into Orta town via some back roads and tracks. Good facilities although still needs a bit of tidying up, shower cubicles could do with a stool and more hanging hooks but there were plenty of them. Good number of toilets and basins which were clean and well maintained. Nice area down by the lake and a choice of restaurants nearby

Disliked There was a lot of waste piled up around the bins awaiting collection, not sure what was happening there. No shop for basics nearby.

From the manager: grazie di cuore per la sua bella recensione!
Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato il soggiorno e il tempo trascorso nel nostro campeggio.

Ci fa piacere informarla che l’idea di un minimarket – un piccolo chiosco accanto alla reception – è già nei nostri piani, e sarà una delle prime novità che introdurremo!

Speriamo davvero di poterla accogliere di nuovo per una futura vacanza all’aria aperta.

Un caro saluto da tutto il team.

Local attractions

Perhaps the most logical place to begin your adventures is Lake Orta itself, where there are several historic sites with spectacular views down over the lake. One of the closest spots is Torre di Buccione (35 minutes’ walk), an old tower with stunning views of the water and surrounding mountains. Up in Orta San Giulio is Sacro Monte di Orta (five minutes' drive), a Roman Catholic complex with 20 chapels dedicated to the life of St Francis of Assisi. Built in 1590, this destination is part of the Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Santuario della Madonna del Sasso (25 minutes) should also be worth the short drive. Raised 638 metres above the lake, it has views of the Alps, including the Mottarone mountain (25 minutes). If you have any time left over, a 25-minute drive will get you to Lake Maggiore, Italy’s second-largest lake. You could take a boat out to the scenic Borromean Islands (35 minutes to ferry ports) or drive around the shores to take in the views, stopping at any restaurants that take your fancy.
