Lake Maggiore stretches from Piedmont and Lombardy all the way into Switzerland, and camping here means palm trees, island views and gentle mountains. Most campsites are on the western shore in Piedmont, around Cannobio and Verbania, and at the Swiss northern tip near Locarno, where the Ticino and Maggia rivers flow in. Many sites sit right by the water with their own beach. Thanks to the mild climate, the season runs from spring to early fall.
If you cross into Switzerland, remember that Swiss motorways require a vignette, and motorhomes over 3.5 tons pay a separate heavy vehicle charge instead. The lakeside roads are narrow in places, so allow extra time. Ferries connect the towns and the Borromean Islands, a relaxed way to explore the lake without moving your camper.
Facilities, fees and opening times come from OpenStreetMap and can be out of date. Check with the site before you go. Campsite data: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 · Updated October 3, 2026
