Grass pitches by a stream
Overview
Grassy pitches
Outdoor pool in the evening

  • Quiet dog-friendly site with a private sandy beach on Lake Maggiore
  • A 10-minute walk from Parco dei Lagoni di Mercurago nature reserve
  • Sports fields, swimming pool and restaurant-bar on site
Trying to pick out a peaceful place in the Italian Lakes? The shores of Lake Maggiore are often a good bet – this is the second-largest lake in Italy, so there's usually plenty of space for visitors to spread out and avoid clustering into crowds. Down at the southern end of the lake in the Piedmont town of Dormelletto, Camping Eden makes a particularly fine base for some time spent soaking up the views and chilled-out vibe of this area. There’s a huge 24,000 square metres of land in which to relax here, with plenty of plants and local wildlife around the place. If that's not enough nature, you can walk across town in about 10 minutes to access the Parco dei Lagoni di Mercurago nature reserve. It’s probably the lake you've really come here for though, right? And won't be disappointed on that front, because the site has its own private sandy beach on the lake shore, along with slipways, a pier and buoys for the use of guests who’d like to bring a boat or try out some watersports. Don’t worry if you don't have your own kit – there are several activity centres within a short walk or drive where you can sort canoe rental, paddleboarding and wakeboarding as well as land-based outings like trekking or mountain biking. Time to relax instead? Spend the day on site, taking swims in the outdoor pool, sunbathing on the loungers and having a leisurely meal in the restaurant-bar, which also doubles up as a pizzeria. Kids, meanwhile, can let off steam in the sports field or play area on site.

Mark C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass and earth pitch (premium)

Liked: Pleasant enough site. Lots of permanent "caravan / chalets" combos parked close together. Touring pitches were a good size. This was early season (April), so a lot of summer prep going on. Plenty of amenities, including pool, for kids. Showers and toilets were spotlessly clean. Convenient for touring southern Lake Maggiore. Restaurant cafe was very good with friendly staff and fresh bread for sale in the morning. Breakfasts and evening meals were also good and fair priced.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Toilet and shower facilities v clean.
Small beach onto lake. Dog area. The particular pitch we were on was excellent - closest to the beach area with stream to one side. There were buses (though not that often) to Arona where ferries were available to Stresa etc but it was quite a long journey.

Disliked: The main campsite of permanent tents was a bit of a shanty town and the motorhome pitches in this area were not very nice. The best pitches are next to the stream where you park parallel to the road. The local area is v urban.

Liked: Very clean toilet and washing facilities, lovely pizza.

Disliked: A lot of noise after 11pm, disappointing beach area as only very short frontage. On foot there isn't much to see.

Liked: The restaurant pizza was superb
Toilets very good and well laid out.

Disliked: After driving from France and arriving exhausted before 1 pm I was told I couldn't drive in until 2.30pm as it was SLEEP TIME UNTIL 2.30PM!
The site was badly signed and the entrance narrow.
Beware sleep time 12.30 till 2.30pm!!!

From the manager: Dear Graham,

we thank you for the kind and honest words about our Camping. We would like to point out that you did not wait for the check-in, after you drove from France. You were already checked-in for 1 day when you left the pitch in the morning and came back at 1 pm, so you were already informed about our rules that does not allow driving with the car inside of our camping. We are sorry if you forgot and then reacted so angrily when we pointed out you would not be able to enter for one hour and a half.

The rules is stated online, on the paper given to you at the check-in and there are signs all over the camping notifying that.

We are just sorry that our job get so bad reviewed for something, as it is for this case, that we can do nothing about.

Best regards
Camping Eden Staff

Local attractions

Dormelletto is a handy source of ice creams, pizzas and baked goods, but for a bit more choice of restaurants and nightlife many guests head a little way north to Arona (10 minutes' drive). It's also a lovely place for a wander, with an archaeology museum and the Rocca fortress to visit. Just outside the town sits the huge Colossus of San Carlo Borromeo statue – the trail up into the hills from the Piazza del Popolo will take about 20 minutes to walk. To see different watery views, head further north to Stresa (half an hour) for ferries to the Borromean Islands, or go south to Diga del Panperduto (20 minutes) for good canalside walks and bike rides. In between the two there are plenty more places for a waterside walk, a swim or a scenic glass of wine. Away from the lake, kids may enjoy a trip to see the animals at Faunistic Park La Torbiera (15 minutes), and there's always a lot to see and do in Milan (an hour).
