  • 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

Friendly vibe, nice pool, decent restaurant. Spacious pitches (sun/shade). Staff helpfulness mixed with outdated facilities & cleanliness issues. Tokens for hot showers. Mix of touring pitches/permanent vans. Management/services lacking for some. WiFi & signage need work.

Power optional grass campsite

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
credo che il suo giudizio sia obbiettivo
e cercheremo in futuro di migliorare i punti negativi da lei evidenziati
grazie ancora per averci scelto

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.

Stephen S.

Power optional grass campsite

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.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked This campsite could be so much better. The bar and pool area is good also toilet clean NO FREE HOT SHOWERS.
that's about all that's good!

Disliked The Barman / Site Guide / Information Man (only speaks Italian) / The "follow me " to you pitch, Barrier Open/ Close man is Drastically Overworked, 12hr plus a day and doing the work of 2 x 25yr olds and must be 60yrs old, the cook who prepares excellent meals could be his mother ! I think to work people this hard at "age" is a disgrace.
The WiFi is very poor to non existent.
There are NO Site Services for campers, well all I found was an illegal old style toilet and nothing else.
Could not find any clearly marked re cycling bins.
Could not find any marked clean water taps.
Showers marked FREE HOT WATER then a insert token meter.
N̈O Site map/details given on arrival.
Restaurant Menu in Italian Only, Site printed on home computer needs to be in Italian, English, German, and French with Photos.
CONCLUSION ●VERY BAD MANAGERMENT.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: forgive me sir, why did you decide to stay an extra night if you found everything so horrible?
Thanks anyway for the comments
detailed information about the staff!
I hope to see you again next year
Kind regards and have a good holiday

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.
