"Good transport connections - The campsite is away from the noise of the roads, but unfortunately there is a lot of air traffic here. The helicopters are annoying. You can also hear the train with its freight traffic. (Even at night). The transport connections are very good. You can get to Bellinzona in 20 minutes by bus. Locarno can be reached in 30 minutes by bus. It is very good for hiking and cycling. We liked the free Ticino ticket. Shopping facilities are 2km away. Aldi and other supermarkets. There is even beer for 5 Sfr at the reception. A tea bag costs 50 centimes. Just Swiss prices! The pool is very, very cold. 17 or 18 degrees. You can't be squeamish there. The pitches are beautiful and very spacious. The sanitary facilities are well maintained. There are even hairdryers. OK for a 4-5 day stay. The staff at reception are very friendly.

"Great place in Ticino - We stayed here for 15 nights in June/July and liked it very much. The fact that the place was not directly on the lake did not bother us in any way. Ideal for cycling in a beautiful area with very pretty villages on Lake Maggiore. Hiking in the region is also very possible, but not directly from the campsite. The young owners are very friendly and go out of their way. The sanitary facilities are of a good standard and clean. The pool is great for swimming due to its size, although it is not heated. We will definitely be back.

"A top campsite in every respect - The Riarena has been our destination twice a year for some time now. Nicole at reception is friendly and helpful in person. The pitches are often very shady and pleasantly large. There are well-marked cycle routes and wonderful walks directly from the campsite. The site's own pool is brilliant and the restaurant on the site is simply gourmet. I'm already looking forward to the next Filet Gulasch Stroganoff, a dream! We have already reserved another dream pitch for next spring. We are looking forward to our umpteenth stay.

"Very nice campsite - We really liked the location, right on the cycle path between Bellinzona and Locarno. The proximity to the stores in Cugnasco is also an advantage. The bus stop is a 15-minute walk away and tickets are included in the price. The sanitary facilities and the whole site are very clean. We ate very well and at reasonable prices in the campsite restaurant. Very nice people at the reception, where everything was perfectly prepared. We can highly recommend this campsite,

"A wonderful campsite - After several years of abstinence due to other destinations, we once again visited Camping Riarena in Ticino and were not ready for it. The Berner family who run the site are friendly and helpful, the pitches are large, partly shady and partly sunny. We always found the sanitary facilities spotlessly clean, but this is not only due to the cleaning staff but also to the guest pitches. I personally didn't use the fantastic pool area, but my sweetheart did and was delighted. My enthusiasm concerned the on-site restaurant. The lightning-fast, friendly and competent service and the food on offer are in no way inferior to a gourmet temple. The menu ranges from a simple pizza to an exquisite Stroganoff fillet goulash. The latter was a real treat, which I ordered on several days. As a dog owner and in the heat, I also really enjoyed the shady walks. My conclusion: everything is just right at the Riarena, so I'll be back again!

"Great campsite - Camping Riarena is great. Close to the bus stop, 15 minutes walk away. Very friendly and helpful staff. The pitches are large enough and with the beautiful trees, some of them are nicely shaded. We were thrilled and will be there again as soon as possible.

Description

Profile

The Camping Riarena is very centrally located, to be precise, in a small village called Cugnasco, right in the Magadino Plain. If you're looking for a natural, quiet, and family-friendly environment for relaxation at fair prices, you're in the right …place with us! The fantastic location right on the bike path invites you to various activities. Whether it's a beautiful bike tour towards Locarno or Bellinzona, for bikers heading towards Monte Motti, Cardada, or Monte Tamaro, various hikes, canyoning, paragliding, or simply a stroll along the promenade in Ascona or Locarno. As a campsite, we offer the ideal accommodation, no matter what activities you have in mind. Our spacious pitches provide enough space for caravans, motorhomes, campers, and/or tents. Well-equipped rental caravans with everything you need for a carefree holiday can be booked with us. Whether young or old, individuals, couples, or families, we offer the perfect overnight and relaxation options for everyone individually. Our sanitary facilities also offer plenty of space. They are bright, spacious, and are cleaned and maintained several times a day. An exclusive Riarena service is the daily individual bread order. But our cozy restaurant, with an inviting sun terrace, also offers a variety of delicacies and invites you to linger. Gluten-free menus are also available without prior notice. For special requests, concerns, and questions, our team is happy to assist you. We look forward to welcoming you personally!
