International, Ispra, Italy. And rather excellent to boot. International Camping Ispra is a holiday village overlooking the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore, in a setting famed for family holidays and sporty adventures on and around the country's second biggest lake. There's so (so) much to do around the lake and this slice of Lombardy, from waterskiing and sailing on Maggiore to pootling around the teeny towns of the shoreside, many overlooking the famed Borromean Islands. More urban adventures can be had around Pella, Ronco and Omegna, or you can spend some/many euros bagging Italian fashion around Varese and Novara. The nearest town, Ispra, is under five minutes' drive away. But do (do) take some time on site too. For there's not only direct access to the lake from here, there's a watersports centre with flyboards and e-foils, as well as kayak and pedalo rental. Landlubbing activities are easily sorted at the beach volleyball area, tennis court, basketball court and football pitch, and if you yearn for yet more water the site has a pool with waterslide. Eats? A site this well kitted out most certainly has that sorted also. The restaurant (with spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding mountains from its terrace) is the spot for pasta, pizza, meat, fish and takeaway; for doing it all yourself, the mini market is well stocked with local and international bits. Activities of all sorts run in the summer months – well, you might need to burn off all that pizza... Take your pick from exercise sessions, sports tournaments, water aerobics, baby dance, shows and nightly entertainment, all running alongside the July and August kids' club.

Powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked: Liked the pitch size; nice to be given a lakeside pitch. Great entertainment on the Saturday evening. Staff were friendly and polite. Good WiFi!

Disliked: Wasn’t keen on the showering units. Been to better sites that had facilities for men and women. The shower units need updating. Two washing machines? One of them out of order! It’s a large site. Very noisy!! Glad to get back to the mountains! Could not get an evening meal served on the Friday evening due to a function. Would have been nice to have been made aware.

Powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked: Les douches sont biens, la piscine également, malgré le fait qu’il faille absolument réserver pour le jacuzzi… le bar est bien, et les serveurs et personnels sont biens et très gentils !

Disliked: Beaucoup de bruits tout le long du séjour, nous sommes restés 6 nuits et n’avons pas bien dormi durant tout le séjour, réveil à 9h30 par le camping obligatoire (l’animatrice crie dans un interphone pour réveiller tout le monde) et musique le soir jusqu’à 23h30… Il n’y a pas grand chose à faire aux alentours.. les informations pour les activités ne sont pas claires.. malheureusement et cela est personnel nous étions à un emplacement avec électricité et seulement les câbles pour brancher aux caravanes étaient acceptés, une prise normale ne rentrait pas dans les prises… donc nous n’avons pas pu utiliser l’électricité alors que nous l’avions payé, également l’emplacement était au soleil toute la journée…

Powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked: Staff were friendly

Disliked: The site was very run down. Pitch was water logged and very close to others, with no outlook. Facilities were in need of a complete refurbishment. We decided not to stay, as it was not what we expected

Powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked: J’ai aimé le cadre du camping, le petit lac pas loin de nous était splendide. On a eu l’occasion de manger au restaurant du camping et les pizzas étaient très bonnes ! On a aimé aussi le fait qu’il y aille autant d’espace pour les enfants, on sait qu’on peut revenir avec nos sœurs ou filleul.e.s et ça c’est plus tôt pas mal On a également aimé le calme du camping car il était bien situé Le personnel était également top car on avait que l’Anglais pour communiquer et tout s’est très bien passé, ils nous ont tout très bien expliqué ! On a aussi aimé qu’il y aille du réseau car c’est rare Bref on reviendra c’est sur

Disliked: La route pour venir au camping, c’était très étroit et un peu dangereux Le terrain qu’on avait était un peu trop boueux Il n’y avait pas de poubelles

Local attractions

The spectacular sights and activities of Lake Maggiore will probably take up much of your time here, but if you're up for exploring further, International Camping Ispra is within easy day trip distance of other local lakes. Head south for about 20 minutes to reach Lake Comabbio and its lakeshore bike path, running for 12 and a half kilometres from its starting point at Ternate. Going east, it's about half an hour from the site to Lake Orto and its medieval settlement of Orta San Giulio; and if you're up for the hour and a half drive, the glacial waters of splendid Lake Lugano are to the north east. Back at Maggiore, loop around the southern shore of the lake and up to its western one to get to Stresa, for boat trips to the Borromean Islands.
