The spot is located directly at the lake. Ideal for a SUP tour. We stayed one night while passing through. Nice little spot with clean sanitary facilities and easy check-in and check-out. ADAC members receive 20%, making the place financially attractive.

Good campsite, but nothing special.

We were just passing through at this campsite right by the lake, everything was clean and well-kept. In the morning, there are rolls and bread available on order, friendly staff, but everything is quite expensive for the low season and the pitches lack charm and are a bit noisy by the road and railway track. For walking, for example with a stroller, it's not ideally located: if you want to walk or cycle to the village, you have to go along a very busy road.

Uncomplicated!

We already made a stop here for one night on our way to vacation. On the way back, we had a flat tire and were able to spontaneously stay here again. The whole team is very helpful and everything runs very smoothly! Beautiful beach for swimming, also very suitable for children. Super Wi-Fi and excellent sanitary facilities! The food from the small self-service restaurant was very tasty. The noise from the highway did not bother us. We can only recommend this place.

Very nice campsite

Kevin

We were only there for one night. But the place has convinced us, so we all agree that we will spend the next extended weekend here. The site is small and manageable. Right by the lake, with pitches right by the water. The sanitary facilities have also been refurbished, and the staff/campground managers were extremely friendly. There is a railway line and a highway nearby, but in my opinion, it is not disturbing.

Directly located at A2. We had a spot right by the lake. Really very, very beautiful. Price for 2 persons plus camper van including electricity and water CHF 56.40. The site is very well maintained and clean. Sanitary facilities as well. For a stopover, an absolute recommendation!

Kristof

Located directly by the water and the motorway - so a breathtaking view, but the motorway is hard to ignore - this slightly dampens the overall impression. Very friendly staff, exceptionally clean sanitary facilities, which are just a bit dated.

More info about Camping Monte Generoso

Thanks to its excellent location directly on Lake Lugano, Camping Monte Generoso is popular with water sports enthusiasts and anglers. Families can look forward to a lovingly designed kids' corner and an outdoor playground. A fun entertainment team provides entertainment in summer.

Cosy campsite on Lake Lugano

Camping Monte Generoso impresses with its favourable location directly on the shores of Lake Lugano in Switzerland. Monte Generoso rises up directly behind the several hectares of land. Some of the pitches are located directly on the shore. Guests are welcome to use the bread roll service and order ingredients for a delicious breakfast the evening before. Other groceries, regional products and toiletries are available in the shop on site. A well-equipped kitchen is located in a pavilion. A microwave makes preparing simple meals child's play, and there is also an ice chest and a fridge. Lake Lugano is just a few steps away from the pitch and invites you to cool off. The campsite also offers the option of hiring canoes or pedalos. Holidaymakers can test their balance with stand-up paddling. Fishermen buy a holiday card and catch their own dinner. During the summer months, the campsite organises a wide range of activities. There are fun craft activities and sports competitions. A favourite meeting place for young and old is the TV room, where there is also a play corner for children. The outdoor playground is a great place to let off steam.
