1 review Write review

Camping Smeraldo is located in the north of Italy, directly on Lake Maggiore. This is a real Italian campsite with many annual guests from the home country. Lie down on the shores of Lake Maggiore, discover the surroundings from the water or visit beautiful villages on the shore, such as Arona and Angera.

Mainly fixed annual places

The campsite mainly accommodates annual guests. That is why there are mainly fixed annual pitches. But camping Smeraldo is also ideal for touring campers. Some thirty-five touring pitches are situated on a lawn, where tall trees provide the necessary shade. The touring pitches are not particularly spacious and undefined, but they are comfortable enough for a week's camping. You can also spend the night in one of the mobile homes.

Lake Maggiore

In front of the campsite, opposite the reception building, is the swimming pool. The swimming pool (with a paddling pool at its side) is small, so it can be quite crowded in high season. Fortunately, Lake Maggiore is only a few steps away from your pitch. A central path leads to an open area on the lake, where a beach volleyball court has been created. Directly on the water, pebbles form a narrow beach. Maybe not ideal for lying on, but the lawn behind it offers enough space to spread your towel.

Supermarket

On the small square at the entrance of the campsite you will find the terrace. Here you can have a refreshing drink. For your daily groceries you don't have to drive far. In Dormelletto, just a few minutes by car, there is a large supermarket.

Het was een erg vieze camping
de plek voor de camper was erg klein en je kon je niet makkelijk verplaatsen, om het schone water te vullen en te legen en de plek om het vuile water te legen was helemaal niet voor de camper gemaakt, het was erg , erg klein en als je daar helemaal geen Italiaan bent, heb je geen kans. Bijna niemand van het personeel heeft ons geholpen om ons probleem op te lossen en uiteindelijk moesten we het kamp vroeg verlaten.
