LOCATION
The Camping Turist Il Gabbiano is located in Golasecca, in the province of Varese, nestled in the splendid natural setting of the Ticino Park. This prime location offers guests the opportunity to experience close contact with nature, without sacrificing the convenience of being near towns and points of interest. Just a few kilometers away lies Sesto Calende, a lively town with shops, services, and recreational opportunities, while Milan is about a 40-minute drive away thanks to the direct connection to the A8 highway. The Sesto Calende train station, just 3 km away, allows for quick travel to domestic and international destinations. In addition, Malpensa Airport is just a 10-minute drive away. Near the campground, you’ll also find the archaeological excavations of the Golasecca Civilization, dating back to pre-Roman times, and a long 80-km bike path that crosses the Ticino Park and runs alongside charming canals and waterways. From the campground’s private dock, you can take boat trips on Lake Maggiore, reaching as far as the Swiss shores.

ACCOMMODATIONS
The campground offers various accommodation options. The camping sites, which are spacious and mostly grassy, are designed to accommodate RV, trailers, or tents, with options for short-, medium-, or long-term stays and camper service always available. The bungalows, on the other hand, are ideal for those seeking greater comfort. They can accommodate up to 4 people and consist of a living room with a sleeper sofa, a kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, sink, and stove, a double or twin bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower. Utilities—including water, electricity, and gas—are included in the living room.

AMENITIES
The campground offers numerous amenities to make your vacation complete and enjoyable. The swimming pool, located next to the bar, is suitable for both adults and children; it is open from June through September and equipped with lounge chairs; use is free for guests, and swim caps are required. The bar is the hub of social life at the campground, hosting theme nights, card tournaments, pool, table soccer, and entertainment events. Among the sports and recreational facilities available are a bocce court, ping-pong tables, foosball, and carom billiards. A reserved parking lot is available for guests. Significant attention is also given to water sports: the campground offers boat slips with monthly or annual agreements, boat storage, and access to floating docks with no time restrictions. Affiliated users can also take advantage of all the campground’s services.

ACTIVITIES AND ENTERTAINMENT
During the summer months, particularly in July and August, daytime and evening entertainment is organized for both adults and children, featuring a variety of activities designed to engage the whole family. The surrounding area offers endless possibilities for sports and nature lovers: walks along the trails of the Ticino Park, bike rides along the long bike path, boat trips from the private dock to the scenic beauty of Lake Maggiore, and moments of relaxation immersed in a unique landscape. The mix of tranquility and fun makes Camping Il Gabbiano an ideal destination for those seeking an active yet rejuvenating vacation.
