Opening period: Annual

Description

1 km from the city center, opposite the Canottieri Gavirate clubhouse, a municipal parking area with 25 parking spaces on interlocking pavers, green spaces with wooden tables and drinking fountains, a camper service (coin-operated water refill), and an automated entrance. Awnings are prohibited.

Nearby

Bar, playground 200 meters away, 28 km cycle path nearby, city center and shops about 1 km away.

What motorhome travellers say

Camper owners find the area to be a wonderful lakeside location with direct access and a 28 km cycle/pedestrian path. However, the parking spaces are narrow and uneven, and there are no restrooms or showers. Some users complain about the coin-operated electricity bill and the increased cost. Camper service and a bar are available nearby.
