  • 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

Great lakeside spot with swimming. Friendly staff, clean site, but some found pitches small/private, few facilities/entertainment. Dated loos noted, needs a spruce-up. Poor reception reported.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Loved the location, easy to get too. Beautiful area. Nice washroom for dishes.

Disliked No toilet paper in bathrooms. 😜 Noisy since it’s all spots very close together on a small campground.

Electric optional grass pitch (premium)

Liked Sehr nette Betreiber, sehr saubere Toiletten und duschen, große Stellplätze mit Stromversorgung und genug Parkplätze immer in der Nähe vom Lager. Sind sehr zufrieden gewesen und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Zum Strand waren es nicht mal 5 Minuten. In den Ortschaften in der nähe hat man viele tolle Restaurants und auch Supermärkte.

Disliked Die Kühlschränke die den Besuchern zur Verfügung standen haben leider gar nicht gekühlt.

Liked È un posto molto bello e tenuto molto bene. I proprietari sono persone molto umili e sorridenti r non vi faranno mancare niente. Si respira aria pulita.

Bagni e docce pulitissime e noi eravamo sotto ferragosto, e il camping era pieno.

Lindsey S.

Electric optional grass pitch (premium)

Liked Wauw! Wat een prachtig gelegen camping. Met zo een mooi zicht om wakker te worden in de ochtend. En een verfrissende ochtendduik te nemen in het meer. Je kan er heerlijke croissants met lekkere vulling bestellen en broodjes. Super vriendelijke camping uitbaters. We stonden 5 nachten en vonden het wel fijn dat we heel vaak nieuwe buren hadden. Het leek een beetje op een doorreis camping waar mensen niet zo heel lang bleven. Maar wij vonden dat wel leuk.

Disliked Het enige minpuntje wat we konden bedenken is dat ze misschien het uur van de glasophaling zouden moeten proberen te verlaten. Nu ja na 2 x hadden we er geen erg meer in maar ik snap wel dat andere mensen dat niet zo leuk vinden. De wifi ging niet verder dan het onthaal. Maar had ik geen last van 😅

J’étais choqué

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Nous sommes désolés de lire un avis aussi négatif et, surtout, de voir notre camping qualifié de “nul”. Nous venons tout juste d’inaugurer notre structure : tout est neuf, des sanitaires aux installations électriques, et nous travaillons chaque jour avec passion et engagement pour nous améliorer.

Nous comprenons que pendant les week-ends du mois d’août, un petit lac comme le nôtre puisse devenir très fréquenté – c’est une situation normale en haute saison, surtout dans les endroits appréciés par de nombreuses personnes.

Nous acceptons volontiers les critiques constructives – en réalité, nous les recherchons – car elles nous aident à évoluer. Mais nous tenons également à dire que des jugements aussi durs et superficiels ne rendent pas justice au travail et à l’énergie que nous mettons dans ce projet.

Si un jour vous revenez, nous serons ravis de vous montrer les améliorations apportées et de vous accueillir dans un cadre encore plus soigné. En attendant, s’il y a des points précis que vous pensez que nous pourrions améliorer, nous serions vraiment heureux de les connaître : nous préférons un retour sincère plutôt que des invités qui partent avec un faux sourire.

Una gran troballa per evitar les massificacions del Llac Como

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Esta súper ben ubicat, les noies son un encant,es visites meravelloses i tot el càmping molt net. Es molt casolà, petitó pero molt còmode. Vam acampar amb tenda a una zona d’acampada sense les places delimitades i s’estava de meravella. Vam deixar el cotxe a l’aparcament del càmping

Electric optional grass pitch (premium)

Liked Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, sauber, schön gelegen (allerdings benötigt man ein Auto oder Fahrrad um etwas zu unternehmen), öffentlicher Strand in drei Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar, neu eröffnet und im Aufbau befindlich, daher noch wenig Infrastruktur (Spielplatz für kleinere Kinder vorhanden)

Fazit: klein aber fein

Recommend to friends Visit again

Gelungener Aufenthalt und würden immer wieder dort übernachten.

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.
