  • 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

This campsite benefits from a superb lakeside location with bathing access. Staff are generally friendly and helpful, and the site is noted as clean, with renovations underway. However, some guests found pitches small and lacking privacy, with limited on-site amenities and no entertainment. Several reviewers mentioned dated facilities and a need for general refreshment, with one noting a poor reception experience.

From the manager: grazie di cuore per la sua bella recensione!
Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato il soggiorno e il tempo trascorso nel nostro campeggio.

Ci fa piacere informarla che l’idea di un minimarket – un piccolo chiosco accanto alla reception – è già nei nostri piani, e sarà una delle prime novità che introdurremo!

Speriamo davvero di poterla accogliere di nuovo per una futura vacanza all’aria aperta.

Un caro saluto da tutto il team.

It’s a lovely little site. Very clean facilities but quite remote

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.

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.

Electric optional grass pitch (premium)

Liked The staff are friendly and helpful, you can order bread for the next day, the WC's are all clean and tidy. The campsite is in a good location with the lake just across the road at the site entrance, there is a public beach and a private beach with a bar you can pay to enter. There is a hotel near the entrance where you can get food. We hiked to Orta San Giulio, about 1.5hrs, via small roads and footpaths, which is worth a visit as it is very beautiful. Our neighbours on the campsite went to Orta on their Kayak which must have been a great trip.

Disliked Nothing

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.
