25 Via Novara, 20020, Turbigo
Been here?
An ample gravel parking area near the river, where swimming and woodland walks are possible, with garbage bins on site. Recent reports describe extensive rubbish, overflowing bins, and litter along the river beach. During the day it is also a cruising area, with repeated cars, direct approaches, and people knocking on vehicles. The adjacent railway has little traffic and no trains at night.

Very littered, including the beach by the river, which is covered in rubbish. The bins are overflowing. Such a great shame.
Fine for a stop to walk in the forest with a dog, BUT the parking area is a cruising area. In addition to people directly approaching us and knocking on the bus, there are many discarded condom wrappers and Viagra packaging scattered around the grounds. Cars circle the area constantly during the day. The pebble beach by the river is also very littered, even though there are enough bins.
The parking area itself is clean, but there is some rubbish by the river. Otherwise, we had a quiet night.
A real rubbish dump... horrible and not safe at all. We left.
Quiet place for spending the night, although during the day there is quite a lot of activity because it is also a gay cruising area (but they are all older, respectful men; I prefer this to a meeting place for young people with music and drinking). By nightfall, everything was empty, and we had a very peaceful night, with no noise or feeling of insecurity.
I drove farther along the path. Before the clubhouse, on the right, there is also a parking area. I slept peacefully here. A car passed twice and the police greeted me kindly. A very quiet place without lighting, perfect for gazing at the stars. There is access to the river. The parking area is clean.
Horrible, we stayed for 2 hours and the same cars kept passing by (all men driving alone), looking for something, talking among themselves; some waited, others drove around the parking area, they passed a backpack to each other, left as a couple, returned alone… if you can avoid stopping here, much better. It feels neither safe nor trustworthy, extremely dirty everywhere!!!
