Travelling party: Family with children <4 years

Der Platz wirkt wie aus einem Horrorfilm. Unordenrlich, ungepflegt, enge Stellplätze die zugewuchert sind. Zum See hin ist eine 2m hohe Mauer. Vor der Benutzung dies Spielplatzes empfiehlt sich eine Tetanus-Impfung. Die Sanitäranlagen sind unzumutbar.

Travelling party: Group of friends

Vi ringrazio di cuore per aver trovato questo bellissimo paradiso!!! Innanzitutto il "negativo"... se date molto valore al "glamping" cercate un'altra location... ma se - come me - apprezzate quali sono i "valori interiori" e per i quali cordialità, apertura, ospitalità e la disponibilità è più importante delle "apparenze" - per queste persone, così come per me, qui ci si sente semplicemente "a casa e liberi"... Conclusione: almeno voto 10+ - le possibili 5 stelle sono per questi cari "amici" " e questo posto meraviglioso è davvero troppo poco... per favore, venite a vederlo di persona! Adoro questo posto e le persone qui e sicuramente non sarò qui per l'ultima volta!!! Un grande ringraziamento alle persone che rendono questo posto meraviglioso quello che è!!!

Travelling party: Couple

Eigentümlicher Platz wie Anno dazumal!
Etwas chaotisch im Eingangsbereich!
Plätze zwischen Dauercampern ordentlich!
Sanitär alt aber gepflegt, vielleicht etwas wenig Toiletten bei Vollbetrieb!
Direkt am See mit Strand und Promenade in den Ort!
Wenn man das altmodische Camping mag auf alle Fälle zu empfehlen

Wir haben den Platz als Zwischenübernachtung im Juni genutzt. Freie Platzwahl. Ziemlich neues, sauberes Sanitärgebäude. Liegt direkt am Luganer See. Kiosk schließt leider schon um 18 Uhr.

Freundlicher Empfang, direkter Seezugang und Restaurants in der Nähe. Für den Luganer See, sehr günstiger Campingplatz
Man muss alle Kategorien bewerten, Kinderfreundlichkeit und Sport können wir nicht bewerten

CP ist in die Jahre gekommen, Stellplätze wie auch Infrastruktur. Es ist alles sauber und Personal ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Nur eine Bar am Strand und direkt neben der Einfahrt ein Sushi Restaurant. Ponte Tresa ist in 15 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar und hat meist asiatische Restaurants. Haben dann das Restaurant OKAY gefunden, das sehr gute italienische Küche zu fairen Preisen bietet (unbedingt Tisch reservieren ist fast immer voll). Schöne Radtouren möglich (zB Varese Heilige Berg UNESCO Weltkulturerbe) aber fast keine Radwege und Strassen sind teilweise auch nicht die Besten.

Kein Sportangebot entdeckt und für Kinder hat es einen kleinen Spielplatz. Gut für die Durchreise oder ein paar Tage Halt, fairer Preis und ruhig gelegen (trotz Strasse vor dem CP und Strandpromenade).

Wir waren zufrieden mit dem Platz. Sanitäranlagen sehr sauber und überall mit Desinfektionsmittel & Handseife ausgestattet. Direkt am See. Ideal zum Baden & SUP en. In den Ort mit etlichen Restaurants kann man gut zu Fuß gehen!

Travelling party: Seniors

von außen ein bisschen Schmudelig, aber sonst ein schöner Platz. mit Acsi freie Platzwahl. Sanitär in die Jahre gekommen aber sauber und ordentlich.
Traumhafte Lage und wir konten noch gut im See schwimmen. Mit einem E-BIKE kann man gut nach Lugano und Luino fahren

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Deutlich in die Jahre gekommener Platz. Nur sehr wenige Parzellen sind für Wohnmobile oder Wohnwagen geeignet da zu uneben oder wegen der Hanglage oder eben zu klein. Sanitäranlagen in schlechtem Zustand, keine Handseife (trotz montierter Seifenspender), kein Toilettenpapier. Im oberen Teil ist die Straße deutlich hörbar. Keine Einkaufsmöglichkeit im Umkreis. Das Personal ist meist unfreundlich und wenig kooperativ. Viele schweizer Dauercamper. Uferpromenade mit Liegewiese ist schön angelegt von der Gemeindeverwaltung. Stromversorgung auf den meisten Parzellen nur 2 A. All diese Punkte münden in ein schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Travelling party: Single

Gute Lage des Platzes, schöner alter Baumbestand, viele Dauercamper, dazwischen aber schöne freie Plätze.
Campingplatzleitung wenig freundlich
Keinerlei Einkaufsmöglichkeit in weniger als 1km Entfernung
Noch Anfang Juli 2019 war der Platz kaum besucht
