A First Camping Experience at Lago Maggiore
Emma had always been intrigued by the idea of camping but had never taken the plunge. When her best friend Mia suggested a weekend at Lagocamp, Emma decided it was finally time to give it a try. What came next was a truly special experience, full of comfort and a newfound love for the great outdoors.
“I’ve always wanted to try camping,” Emma shared. “But the idea of sleeping in a tent made me hesitate. When Mia told me about Lagocamp’s mobile homes, I thought, ‘This sounds like the perfect way to ease into it.’”
Comfort in a Mobile Home, the Perfect Glamping Experience in Italy
The mobile home offered all the comforts Emma needed for her first camping experience. Equipped with air conditioning, a cosy bed, and a kitchenette, it was an easy introduction to outdoor living. “It was such a relief to have everything I needed right there,” Emma said. “It felt like a blend of camping and staying in a small, cosy apartment.”
Discovering the Joys of Glamping on Lago Maggiore
“The view was incredible,” Emma recalled. “Starting the day surrounded by nature was something I didn’t know I needed. I had previously stuck to city trips, but could never really switch off. I had an epiphany and finally understood what camping, or let’s say Glamping really means. Because it still felt like a luxurious retreat, while being super simple and elegant.”
Paddleboarding and Hiking Experiences, Embracing the Outdoors
Mia, an experienced camper, planned a variety of activities to help Emma embrace the camping lifestyle. They spent one morning paddleboarding on the lake. They rented the boards from the campsite’s water sports rental spot right at the beach. “At first, I was a bit nervous about balancing,” Emma admitted. “But once I got the hang of it, it was so much fun. Gliding across the water with the mountains in the background felt magical.”
Afternoons were dedicated to hiking nearby trails. “Mia chose routes that were beginner-friendly but still offered breathtaking views,” Emma said. “I just love the fresh air and exercise.”
Friendly Staff and Local Recommendations
The friendly staff at Lagocamp played a significant role in making Emma’s first camping experience enjoyable. “They gave us great tips on where to go and what to see,” Emma said. “Their advice on visiting the local markets in Luino and Cannobio was spot on.”
Cooking with Fresh Local Ingredients from the Market
The market visit was a highlight of the trip. “We picked up fresh fruits, cheeses, and bread, as well as some souvenirs for our friends back home.” Emma shared. “It was such a treat to cook with local ingredients in the mobile home’s fully equipped kitchen.”
Peaceful Evenings at the Campsite Pitch Lagocamp
Evenings at Lagocamp were peaceful and restorative. Emma and Mia would sit on the terrace, chatting at the table and playing board games or reading some books, with a drink in hand of course. “Those evenings were my favourite part,” Emma said. “They were so calming and gave me time to reflect on the day’s adventures.”
One evening Lagocamp had organised a live-music event right at the campsite. “It was so great to walk only a few meters for a drink and to have a little dance at one of Lagocamp’s themed summer parties! We loved the vibe and would definitely come back to one of those!”.
A Newfound Love for Camping
By the end of the weekend, Emma felt confident and inspired. “I never thought camping could be so enjoyable,” she admitted. “Lagocamp made it easy and accessible. Now I’m already planning my next trip — and this time, I want to bring my family.”
The Perfect Place for First-Time Campers in Italy
Lagocamp’s unique blend of comfort and adventure proved to Emma that camping doesn’t have to be intimidating. “For anyone who’s curious about camping but isn’t sure where to start, this is the perfect place,” she said.
