You can expect a well-maintained, flat terrain in the middle of a natural, sparse deciduous forest that provides pleasant shade in summer. The parcellated pitches are between 70 and 90 m² in size.

Yes, two quick "good-to-know" tips for your planning: Since the small Magadino airfield is nearby, you should expect occasional flight noise. If you want to travel with a four-legged friend, please note that dogs are generally prohibited on the campsite – unless you have a member card from H-und.ch.
