Campofelice Camping Village

What Campofelice Camping Village does

Campofelice Camping Village is a family-owned integrated holiday resort in Tenero, Canton Ticino, Switzerland, operating on a 15-hectare site with 400 meters of private beach on Lake Maggiore and adjacent to the Bolle di Magadino nature reserve. Founded in 1955 by the Cattori family and run by the Patelli family since the 1980s, the business is now in its third generation under Simone Patelli (leadership transferred in 2022), with operating company Campofelice AG established in 2007. The resort offers four parallel accommodation lines: 8 categories of campsite pitches (49-120m²), rental units (Standard/Comfort/Deluxe/Premium bungalows, glamping Igloo Tube and Chalet am Hafen, caravans, and accessible units), a hotel with 6 room categories (fully renovated 2019-2024), and apartments across Casa al Porto and Casa Torre. Camping operates seasonally (Feb 26 - Nov 16, 2026), while the hotel and select apartments are open year-round.

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer bookings via a proprietary multi-language online system (DE/EN/FR/IT/NL), telephone reservations, and walk-ins, supplemented by distribution through European automobile clubs (ADAC, ANWB, ACSI, DCC, ECC, Swisscamps) and camping platforms (Camping.info, PinCamp). Pricing is unit-based across pitches, rental units, hotel rooms, and apartments, with 50% deposits at booking, tiered cancellation penalties, and a CHF 4.20 per-person/night Kurtaxe. Ancillary revenue comes from on-site F&B (Campo Felice Restaurant & Lounge, Robin Bistrot Café, Rooftop Terrace, Pool Bar, Gelateria, BBQ areas), a marina with boat moorings and motorboat rentals, sports and wellness facilities (2,000m² water attractions, sauna, fitness), kids' programming, events, and a supermarket stocking local Ticino products. The Ticino Ticket provides free regional public transport to all guests.

The business is differentiated by 70 years of brand heritage, multiple European industry awards (ADAC Superplatz 2026, ANWB Award 2026, ECC Award 2025, ACSI Best Campsite Switzerland 2022), a strong sustainability stack (Ecocamping since 2009, Swisstainable Engaged, CSR Report 28/30, 3,350 solar panels / 950,000 kWh annually, Schwob textile certification, Swiss the Tap, Cerebral, OK:GO), and accessibility partnerships (Cerebral Foundation, Claire & George Foundation). Operations are supported by ~150 staff, with corporate, marketing, and reservation functions split across two addresses (Via Brere 7 camping village and Via Brere 16 hotel village). No public revenue, funding rounds, M&A activity, or external equity ownership are disclosed; the company remains entirely family-held with no app, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.
