About
The rugged peaks of the Ticino Alps rise up around Camping Piccolo Paradiso in Avegno. The babbling River Maggia, which flows directly past the campsite, forms an exciting contrast to the mountains and forests. Some of the grass pitches, which measure up to 100 m², are shaded by trees. The campsite in Avegno is an Eldorado for families: on hot days, they love to meet up at the lovingly designed paddling pool or the playground. The mini-golf course is also popular with families. Seasonal specialities are available in the restaurant, where Mediterranean dishes and traditional snacks are served. Those who like to cook for themselves can buy the ingredients in the small shop on the campsite.
Holiday site suitable for families, hikers, and climbers in the Maggia Valley, not far from Lake Maggiore.

The sanitary facilities were top-notch and clean, the supermarket well-stocked, and the restaurant offering regional dishes is highly recommended. The barbecue areas also invite for cozy gatherings. Particularly enjoyable is the proximity to the Maggia river, which creates a wonderful atmosphere. The shade-giving plane trees make the stay especially pleasant on warm days. The staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Moreover, the location is simply ideal: the bus stop is just 50 meters away, allowing for easy and convenient excursions. Whether it's cleanliness, amenities, friendliness, or location – everything is just right here. We felt comfortable from the first to the last day and were able to fully enjoy our vacation. A campsite we would love to visit again.

Super location, excellent connections, and the best amenities - we felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. The whole complex is very well-maintained, the staff is numerous, hardworking, and friendly. The kids were thrilled with the playground, soccer field, and mini pool. We parents enjoyed the wonderful green area, swimming in the Maggia, and the catering from the restaurant and shop. With the ticino card, we could do a lot of activities on-site.

Truly a Little Paradise

Aui
We have known this place for about 40 years and have always enjoyed coming here from time to time. Recently, a lot has been invested and renewed; everything is in top condition. The location is unique, right by the Maggia River with beautiful clear cold water, where you can swim beautifully or simply sit on the stones. Right at the entrance, there is a bus stop from which you can conveniently (and for free with the Ticino card) travel to Maggiatal or towards Locarno. The entire site, including the sanitary facilities, is super clean at any time of the day and the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Even though vacationing in Switzerland is not cheap for us as Germans, we always like coming back here.

Idyllic for chilling, hiking, cycling…

Heiner
Nice, little place. Right by the Maggia, on the bike path heading upstream towards Covergno and downstream towards Locarno-Ascona. Beautiful hiking routes. Swimming options and a climbing paradise. In the immediate vicinity, there are alternatives to dining out, if the simple tavern at the place doesn't appeal to you. Very nice staff! Accommodating, polite, and helpful. You can stay here for a few days.

Small campsite located right by the Maggia. In the back part, there are new beautiful sanitary facilities. Minimarket with "normal" prices.

Especially very crowded and very expensive during holidays. Very good for climbing/swimming. Tip: If you are not bothered by the riverside street, you should drive over to ITA, there are also nice places that are significantly cheaper. Additionally, reasonable food prices.

More info about Camping Piccolo Paradiso
Camping Piccolo Paradiso promises a varied and comfortable camping holiday in the Maggia Valley, surrounded by mountains. A peaceful atmosphere and proximity to Lake Maggiore are among the advantages of this family-friendly campsite.
Mountain campsite close to nature not far from Lake Maggiore
Directly on the crystal-clear Maggia in the Swiss canton of Ticino, Camping Piccolo Paradiso is nestled in an idyllic mountain valley. Numerous bathing spots with shimmering turquoise-blue water invite you to splash around in the refreshing mountain river. There are even sandy beaches on some of the banks in the vicinity of the campsite. Those who prefer to swim in the lake can head to Lake Maggiore, around 6 kilometres to the south, where the nearest large town of Locarno is located. Camping Piccolo Paradiso is a first-class choice not only for swimming fans, but also for active holidaymakers. The holiday village is the perfect starting point for leisurely hikes through the Maggia Valley and climbing challenging peaks. Mountains such as the Cimetta and Salmone tower all around. A special feature of the region are the numerous via ferratas such as Torbeccio and Ponte Brolla. The mountains are also ideal for dog owners to go on long walks with their four-legged travelling companion. Dog showers are available at Camping Piccolo Paradiso and the Tra da Nüm dog training centre is not far away.
Family-friendly holiday resort with children's pool and entertainment
With a paddling pool, Camping Piccolo Paradiso offers children another opportunity to have fun in the cool water. The little ones are just as happy to romp around in the playground and swing a club with their parents on the campsite's own mini-golf course. An entertainment team also provides seasonal entertainment for the youngsters. To ensure that children can play safely throughout the campsite, car traffic is restricted during the summer months. If you take a trip to Lake Maggiore, you can choose from a wide range of water sports such as fishing, surfing and sailing. If the weather takes you indoors, there is an air-conditioned recreation room with video games, among other things. The restaurant at Camping Piccolo Paradiso serves regional and seasonal specialities, tasty snacks and child-friendly dishes. It has a sun terrace with mountain views. There is also a mini market with warm baked goods for breakfast, fresh food and various camper supplies. The differently sized pitches at Camping Piccolo Paradiso are spread over three areas, each with a modern wash house. Shady pitches can be selected thanks to the tall deciduous trees and the location below a wooded mountain slope.
