Camping in Ticino, Switzerland’s Italian-speaking south, means palm trees, stone villages, emerald rivers and a Mediterranean feel beneath the Alps. Most campsites are on the delta near Locarno at the northern end of Lake Maggiore, around Lake Lugano and in the Maggia Valley. Many sit right by the lake or river, perfect for swimming. Thanks to the mild climate, the season starts early in spring and runs well into fall.
The Verzasca and Maggia valleys are very popular in summer: roads are narrow and parking is limited, so set off early or take the bus. On holiday weekends, traffic at the Gotthard road tunnel often backs up, so plan your trip outside peak times. Swiss motorways require a vignette. In July and August, book your lakeside pitch ahead.
Facilities, fees and opening times come from OpenStreetMap and can be out of date.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
