Camping at Lake Lugano

That's why you should camp at Lake Lugano:

  • Well-kept bathing spots around the lake
  • Many leisure activities for families such as the California Acquapark in Lugano
  • Unique vegetation with cypresses, palm trees and figs
  • Surfing, sailing, stand-up paddling for active holidaymakers

Switzerland and Italy share the enchanting Lake Lugano, which has a Mediterranean climate. Hiking trails in the hinterland lead through dense forests and unspoilt mountain villages. During a boat trip, holidaymakers get to see Monte Generoso and the magnificent façades of the patrician houses in Morcotes from a different perspective. The fossil finds on Monte San Giorgo, which have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are unique.

The campsites on Lake Lugano welcome their guests with comfortable accommodation in the heart of nature: In Northern Italy, camping by the lake is a carefree holiday experience including exuberant swimming in the turquoise waters. In the Valsolda valley, hiking enthusiasts can go on a voyage of discovery, while excursion boats to Lugano in Switzerland depart from Porlezza. The Mediterranean climate also ensures a successful holiday, inviting you to enjoy romantic sailing trips on Lake Lugano.

Special features of camping on Lake Lugano

The scent of citrus trees fills the air while campers enjoy their holiday in the shade of a palm tree. The picturesque location directly on the lakeshore makes the holiday resorts on Lake Lugano a popular destination. Some of the campsites even have a private stretch of beach. Couples and families spend a relaxing holiday here with a view of green, high mountains.

Camping on Lake Lugano also means active enjoyment of nature: hiking enthusiasts can go on extensive tours in the surrounding mountains. The campsites on Lake Lugano are also an ideal starting point for cultural excursions, for example to the sacred sights in Porlezza. Visit the Beata Vergine Assunta church, built in 1581, or the Il Conventino monastery.

Weather

The warm temperatures on Lake Lugano are ideal for an almost year-round camping holiday. Thanks to its favourable location between Ticino and northern Italy, travellers are spoilt with a Mediterranean climate. This means that camping on Lake Lugano is possible from the first days of spring until well into the colourful autumn.

With maximum daily temperatures of 27 degrees Celsius, a dip in the lake in July and August is a refreshing experience. The water temperature rises steadily to 24 degrees from early summer. Despite frost-free winters with average daily temperatures of around 6 degrees, camping life on Lake Lugano usually goes dormant during the cold months - but many visitors return to Lake Lugano in April at the latest when temperatures are mild.
