Spent a couple of nights here. Lots of vans but quiet at night. Nicely shaded with trees but be careful getting off and on your pitch, struggled with my 7m van. Only 3A supply, I kept tripping it until I realised my Truma boiler was drawing too much when set to electric supply. Ok when set to diesel. Good cycling territory. Cycle path to Lake Como follows old railway track but does take you on the main road at times - bit hairy!

Wir haben Anfang April 2 Tage auf diesem
sehr schönen Platz mit Blick auf den Largo di Piano verbracht. Wir wurden total freundlich von der Tochter der Betreiberfamilie auf deutsch empfangen. Durften uns im gesamten hinteren Bereich mit Blick auf den See ein großern Platz aussuchen. Hier war das Sanitärhaus zwar nicht geöffnet, bei der geringen Belegung des Platzes war das aber kein Problem, Sanitäranlagen waren sehr sauber. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Friendly reception lady and gentleman - both spoke English and helpful. Nice hot shower. Toilets clean. Church bells ring, digs bark and cow bells ring. But not intrusive. Cycle route to Lugano and down to Menaggio(8k) check the route on google we got lost and ended up on the main road. Stared 3 nights- enjoyed our stay.
