Overall, this is a very nicely situated site with very friendly staff. It is often booked by families with children, which can sometimes make it quite noisy. However, the nights are quiet. The sanitary facilities are old but clean. There are various sizes of pitches; I would recommend checking in advance whether the pitch meets your needs. The pitches are very close together, which makes maneuvering caravans and motorhomes quite challenging. I find caravans longer than 6 meters problematic. The cleanliness of the sanitary facilities is excellent, though. The buildings and their furnishings are old. The toilets and sinks are not separated. Additionally, the dishwashing sinks are located very close to the toilets in terms of both smell and noise. The disposal facilities for chemical toilets are inadequate.

Cozy spot in beautiful nature. Clean sanitary facilities. Directly by a small lake. Small playground for kids is okay. The road is well audible at night, especially the PS Bros who then race up the hills. Unfortunately, very narrow access from the road (not for beginners) and the first spots are also very hard to reach. With a caravan / large vehicle, it's better to drive past the second washhouse. Then there's plenty of space.

We spent 2 days at the beginning of April at this very beautiful site with a view of the Largo di Piano. We were welcomed very warmly in German by the daughter of the operating family. We were allowed to choose a larger spot in the entire back area with a view of the lake. Although the sanitation building was not open, it was not a problem due to the low occupancy of the site; the sanitary facilities were very clean. We would love to come back.

Super nice reception and very accommodating staff. A great price and direct access to the lake for swimming or jumping into the pool. The surroundings invite you to hike along small winding paths, where you can discover buildings from decades ago. A dream for the dog (even if it should be kept on a leash)

Very nice shady spot near the nature reserve, large individual pitches. Very friendly staff, great pizzeria adjacent, 3 minutes of warm showers for 50 cents could be optimized (the only criticism)

More info about Camping Ranocchio
Situated on the picturesque Lago di Piano and just a few kilometres from the more famous Lago di Lugano and Lago di Como, Camping Ranocchio welcomes nature lovers to Carlazzo. Grandiose panoramas whet the appetite for discoveries in the surrounding area.
Living in the mountains with an almost private lake
Green forests cover the mountains that flank famous lakes such as Lake Lugano and Lake Como between the Grisons and Bergamo Alps. Lago di Piano, situated at an altitude of 287 metres, is a true idyll between the two lakes. Camping Ranocchio is located directly on the lakeshore with a 200-metre-long pebble beach and a five-metre-wide sunbathing lawn. Children can also have fun in the paddling pool and on the playground. A heated swimming pool is available for adults and teenagers. The site, which is overgrown with numerous young trees and crossed by a small stream, has 170 spacious pitches, six rental accommodations and covers a total of 2.5 hectares. It is open from April to September, accepts dogs for a fee and is located just five kilometres from the nearest golf course. If you feel more like exploring the lake, you can also go on excursions to the two larger lakes in addition to the bathing lake. A bus stop is just 150 metres away. The Riviera Tremezzina on Lake Como is charming with its numerous villas, including Hollywood star George Clooney's mansion Villa Oleandra. On Lake Lugano, the two local mountains Monte Brè and Monte San Salvatore beckon. Funiculars lead to the summits with romantic panoramic restaurants.
Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Ranocchio
What are the swimming options at Camping Ranocchio?
You are spoilt for choice here! The campsite is located directly on the idyllic Lago di Piano and offers a gravel beach around 200 metres long with a cosy sunbathing lawn. If you prefer swimming in a pool, the site has a heated outdoor pool and a paddling pool for children.
How big are the pitches and are they suitable for large caravans?
The parcelled pitches are between 60 and 80 square metres in size and offer shade under trees. As the terrain is quite narrow and terraced, manoeuvring with large motorhomes or a car with caravan over 6 metres in length can be a bit tricky. Our tip: drive past the second wash house, where you will have much more space.
What are the sanitary facilities like on the campsite?
The sanitary buildings at Camping Ranocchio are a bit older, but the cleanliness is absolutely excellent. Good to know: toilets and washbasins are not physically separated here, and the dishwashing sinks are also located right next to them. For families, there is also a practical baby changing room.
