13 Via Cantonale, 6575, Gambarogno
Been here?
Paid roadside parking on Via Cantonale in Gambarogno, right on Lake Maggiore with fine views across to the far shore. It sits between the road and a rail line, so some traffic and occasional trains are audible; nights are largely quiet. Clean public toilets sit right by the car park, and a small public beach lies just below. Parking costs about 1-1.5 CHF/hour by day but is free from 19:00 to 08:00. Overnighting is common but not officially sanctioned; police have moved on at least one camper.

Practical place to spend the night. A train passes behind and the road along the lake is in front. But the view is magnificent, and directly opposite there is a public beach with a table-tennis table and benches. The toilet was clean.Translating
The view of the lake is pretty, with a small beach below and toilets. We spent the night there because no restriction was indicated (€1.50 per hour), but it was noisy because of the road. In the morning, a police officer stopped to tell us that spending the night there was forbidden and that we had to go to a campsite.Translating
It seems like a quiet place. We came on a Saturday evening and it was not very noisy, but the parking is paid even at night! I am adding a photo with the rates because there is a distinction between low and high season.Translating
Top motorhome site. Directly beside the road, and a train passes occasionally, but it is right by the lake. Free from 19:00 to 08:00. Toilet very clean and right next door. Definitely great for one night!Translating
Parking area at Lake Maggiore. It is free at night, and from 8 a.m. you pay CHF 1 per hour. The parking area is directly beside a road and railway track. The road is not bothersome at night; the railway can be annoying if you are a light sleeper. The bus stop has a public toilet that you can use for free. We recommend the spot for one night.Translating
