Camping Lido Mappo

The campground is fantastic and well-maintained! It offers all the necessary amenities and there is also an excellent restaurant available on the premises.

During our cycling tour across Europe, we stayed at one of the finest campgrounds. The bathroom and laundry facilities were impeccably clean and had a modern touch. Additionally, the dishwashing station offered a splendid view. The beach by the lake was incredibly pleasant for unwinding. It's worth mentioning that not all campsites are ideal for tent camping, so it's advisable to inquire about the site before making a payment. However, if you're fortunate, you might secure a lovely grassy spot for your tent.

The positive aspect of our experience at the beach was the excellent customer service provided by the young woman at the Information center and the other lady at the reception. We paid around 50-60 CHF per night for a tent and thoroughly enjoyed the beach activities, such as kayaking. On the downside, if you choose to stay near the ping pong area, it can get quite noisy until 11pm due to loud music, similar to that of a club. We had to contact the reception and visit in person to request the music to be stopped, as technically it should be quiet time after 11pm. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid staying near the ping pong area, which is located right behind the reception. Additionally, the older lady working the evening shift at the reception on the evening of July 24th was extremely rude to us and suggested that we go to the desert if we wanted peace and quiet, as Swiss people were on holiday. This incident occurred after 11pm.

The manager, who had long dark hair and rode a bike, was really nice and made me feel welcome. I would have liked to shake his hand or buy him a beer because he was such a great guy. However, some of the staff were impolite, and there were other guests who made us feel unwelcome. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I would consider staying again, but only if the guests and front desk staff were not hostile like before.

The receptionist displayed extremely unprofessional behavior by refusing our check-in, even though we had made a reservation. They stated that they do not accommodate groups, but it is important to note that we are just five people in our mid-30s, consisting of two couples and a friend who planned to go mountain-biking. It would be more worthwhile to find another place and spend 30 minutes in the lake rather than engaging in a discussion with the receptionist.
