Camping at Lake Maggiore – Italian Lakes, Borromean Islands and Alpine Views
Lake Maggiore (Lago Maggiore) is one of the most elegant and scenic lakes in northern Italy. Stretching across both Piedmont and Lombardy, and even touching Switzerland in the north, the lake combines Mediterranean vegetation with an impressive alpine backdrop. Camping at Lake Maggiore offers a selection of mobile homes, safari tents, glamping lodges and lakeside touring pitches, often set among palm trees and flowering gardens.
The western shore, in Piedmont, is known for its refined atmosphere and charming towns such as Stresa and Verbania. From here, visitors can explore the famous Borromean Islands, including Isola Bella and Isola Madre, with their historic palaces and landscaped gardens. Boat trips across the lake are one of the highlights of any stay.
The eastern side, in Lombardy, offers a quieter and greener setting with small lakeside villages and panoramic walking routes. The surrounding mountains provide excellent opportunities for hiking, cycling and scenic drives with views over the lake.
Lake Maggiore enjoys a mild climate thanks to its southern exposure and the protective mountain ranges. This makes it attractive not only in summer but also during spring and autumn. Swimming, sailing and paddleboarding are popular on the lake, while cable cars and mountain viewpoints add variety to a camping holiday.
Camping at Lake Maggiore combines lakeside relaxation, cultural heritage and alpine scenery in one compact region. Whether you are seeking peaceful views, boat excursions or active days in the mountains, Lake Maggiore remains one of northern Italy’s most rewarding camping destinations.
