“Families are very welcome at this campsite. The facilities and activities are particularly suitable for children.” This is the tribute "Lago Maggiore Turismo" paid to the Camping Tamaro Resort.
Camping holidays are pure pleasure for couple more mature holidaymakers, especially when they are enjoyed outside of the school holidays, when it is quieter and they can really enjoy the surroundings and this beautiful spot right by the shores of Lake Maggiore. Because it is at these times of the year, in spring and autumn, when the landscape looks most breathtaking. A dreamy setting for a holiday for two!
Regular guests love going camping because they can spend time with friends and make new ones.
Are you looking for some nice cycling and hiking trails? If it sounds like too much hard work, you can always hire e-bikes directly from us at reception or plan spontaneous trips to Bellinzona by bus or hop on the boat and bus to Locarno, Ascona (see bus and boat offers). The Verzasca and Maggia valleys are not only among the most popular destinations for excursions, they also are home to some of the best culinary venues.
Our campsite is also fully accessible for people with special needs. They are able to autonomously access the entire campsite during the day and night, as well as access all the facilities, especially the bathroom block that has been specially designed and reserved solely for use by guests with disabilities. The hard floors make it possible for people in wheelchairs to move around independently and join in the games.
Camping as an organised recreational activity for people with special needs has shaped the history of camping both in Europe and the USA from a very early stage. In 1966, a nurse wrote a detailed report in a trade journal about about a camping programme she had organised and led (camp nursing), describing their memorable experiences and her personal impressions. The joint recreational activities the disabled campers took part in in close contact with nature, revealed more what they were capable of doing than what they were not.

We are in the perfect location for cyclists as our surrounding area is filled with great cycle trails of varying difficulty. It doesn’t always have to be off-road routes or steep climbs. Maybe you’ve heard of the Piano di Magadinowith its internationally renowned open space and productive landscape between Bellinzona and Locarno.
The route starts in the centre of Locarno and runs down to the lakeside promenade where lots of different types of cactus, exotic plants and flowers grow. The Via alla Rivacycle trail runs alongside the lake. There are lovely small beaches where you can stop to take a welcome break and even go for a swim (see the 360° panoramic images: on the quay to Locarno, Muralto, Piazza Grande). There are lots of great sights to take in on this route.
Bolle di Magadinois the actual nature reserve on the Magadino plain, home to many ecosystems not found anywhere else in Switzerland. You can also take another route out of Tenero that leads past the Coop shopping centre, before bending to the left and passing the new bridge that spans the Verzasca river. Once you cross this bridge, there is a right turn that leads back to the original cycle route. This continues to runs through the Magadino plain, which with its fields, wineries, farms and “agritourism” is a perfect opportunity to stop and try the local specialities. When you reach the Gudo bridge, the cycle route then continues towards Bellinzon; you will soon reach the so-called “laghetto osservatorio”, which is recommended by the WWF as being an exceptionally

Some motorcyclists like to explore new routes, others prefer retracing the classic trails through the Swiss Alps.
The road over the St Gotthard Pass connects Andermatt in the Canton of Uri with Airolo in the Canton of Ticino. Both the north and south ramps were partially re-routed between 1956 and 1977, but the old pass road can still be crossed. The old cobbled road leading through the Tremola Gorge, is an absolute must for motorcyclists because the route is nothing short of spectacular. Another popular circuit is the three-pass ride over the Gotthard, Furka and Nufenen Pass.
Before continuing on your journey, it is worth taking a break at Lake Maggiore.
Ticino has countless winding routes to choose from in the diverse and exciting landscape of its valleys, especially in the neighbouring Verzasca Valley and the Maggia Valley.
