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 excel… More

We felt at home immediately
We are traveling as a family with two younger children (3 and 5 years old). It is beautiful here and we are sad to only be passing through. One should definitely plan for more time here. We felt comfortable right away. The camping spot is large, many are right by the lake and almost all have a view… More

Very nice campsite
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 mana… More

Ideal on the way to Italy
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!

Perfect for a Stopover
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.

Great Place
Directly by the water, very clean and quiet. Very well-kept. There is a train that goes right there, but you can't hear it. The access to the site is unfortunately very narrow. Lots of nice young people who also speak German. Unfortunately, you need 'coins' for the showers.
Very good

Nice place for a stopover
Friendly staff, super delicious rolls for breakfast, clean sanitary facilities, beautiful view of Lake Lugano and the mountains, some noise level due to the nearby railway line
Anonymouswrote 7 years ago
Beautiful Location
The place is very nicely situated, right by the lake, and the operators are very friendly. However, the sanitary facilities leave much to be desired. It was quite clean, but everything is completely outdated and far too small. Therefore, the rather high price is not justified.

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.
