Camping Solcio, Lesa Overview
Camping Solcio is a 2-star hotel in Lesa, Italy. Rated 8.0 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
Camping Solcio is a 2-star, family-friendly camping stay in Lesa, Italy, set along via al Campeggio 1 for travelers who want the lake region without the fuss. Check-in runs from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and check-out is at 10:00 AM, which helps you plan full days outdoors. With a playground on site and children allowed, it’s the sort of place where families can keep everyone busy without needing constant car rides. The on-site snack bar/deli makes it easier to handle casual meals, especially when you’re coming back from hikes or bike rides. For active guests, table tennis and nearby hiking/biking trails support a simple, outdoors-first itinerary, while scuba diving on site adds a more specialized option for those who want water time. A limited-hours front desk and concierge service are on hand for practical help, and there’s also an area shuttle available for getting around when you don’t want to drive.
Reviews from guests average around 8/10 based on three reviews, and the comments point to a budget approach that still feels welcoming. Many travelers mention the appeal of having activities on site or close by, rather than spending the whole day commuting. If you’re aiming for a quiet base to explore Lago Maggiore and the surrounding towns, Camping Solcio fits well. You can reach Isola Bella in roughly 26 km and Stresa in about 26 km for classic lake sightseeing, while Sacro Monte di Orta is around 20 km for a more scenic, viewpoint-focused outing. This is best for couples and families who prioritize outdoor time, straightforward services, and value over high-end facilities.

Should You Book Camping Solcio?
Worth considering if you want a low-key, outdoors-focused stay in Lesa with on-site dining and plenty of leisure activities. The 8/10 guest rating from a small review sample suggests a generally positive experience, but the limited front desk hours mean you should plan your arrival and needs around that.

- Travelers arriving outside the check-in window (03:00 PM to 09:00 PM)
- Light sleepers or guests sensitive to on-site activity noise may want to confirm quiet hours, since the property is set up for active leisure (tennis, table tennis, outdoor activities)
