Re: Camping near Locarno....

camping delta by the lake is very good, stayed there a few times, a bit on the pricey side for a camp site but certainly cheaper than the B&B you were quoted

www.campingdelta.com
Just back from a weekend at the Delta camp site. We were two people and survived the storm on Friday night/Satur-day...... all day... mad, we really thought the tent would have flown, but luckily it didn't... others were not so lucky.

We paid Fr.353 for 2 people for 3 nights.... wow wow wow...
the invoice was divided into Fr57/prime location tenting (most expensive category) After that they wanted more money for each person staying... turned out to be over Fr100 for the 3 nights... wow, and I thought it cost 57/night for the space... well yes it did, but only if you weren't staying in it!!!
we paid a flat-rate of Fr.5/night for electricity and here's the mad thing, Fr50 Buchungsgebühr... eh what? Well, for what??

Anyway, there was no entertainment, nothing to speak of anyway.. a few slots for the kids - for money of course - no band, nothing else either...

Also, it is considered 5* well, I have to say the toilets didn't smell like toilets and seemingly that's what 5* is considered... constant hot water, working showers, not exactly clean all the time, some people are basically pigs when it comes to public amenities, but I expected a constant cleaning service, especially for that price.

Positives: Great location, great weather, if not a little adventurous, no driving in after 10pm which is good. Huge place, one can eat, there is a restaurant on site... lake was beautiful, we even got close to a mother duck and her 10 ducklings... very cute. great swimming. Friendly service...

All in all a great weekend, BUT expensive... Katie Melhua was also super, very good live singer... any suggestions for a camp site in Italy? somewhere not quite as expensive?
