The History of Camping Bosco in

In 1962, Carlo Galotti buys the magnificent property in Cannobio and begins to furnish and develop it. A campsite and vacation village is to be built here to support the growing tourist importance of Cannobio. Carlo Galotti is a bricklayer, owner of a small business (two employees), and devotes himself to the campsite with interruptions and when the obligations of his small business allow.

In 1970, his son Giorgio leaves his job in Milan and takes care of the final preparations and permits for the opening of Camping Bosco Cannobio.

In 1972, the campsite opens with the following facilities: two sanitary blocks for campers, a bar-restaurant-market, reception, and Bungalows 1/2/3. Giorgio is the owner of the business; Papa Carlo owns the property.

1972–1992 The campsite is run as a family business: Giorgio and one external helper; Carlo's daughter Cesarina runs the restaurant and bar. Her husband Dino and Giorgio's brother Vittorino help out after work, on holidays, and during summer vacations. The family business flourishes and becomes known and loved far beyond the borders of Italy. The restaurant mainly serves spaghetti, fried potatoes, chicken on a spit, and vegetable soups.

Approx. 1980–1985 Bungalows 4 to 14 are built.

1992 Cesarina falls ill and requires dialysis. The family can count on Vittorino's help, but Cesarina is missed. Giorgio therefore ceases restaurant operations. However, with Vanda, an external person is found to support the Camping Bosco family business.

1994–1995 Permit for the construction of the second access road from Strada Statale 34, which is connected to the first access road.

2001 Vanda increasingly becomes the manager of Camping Bosco.

2004 Carlo needs ongoing support. Giorgio therefore leases the business to Verbano Impianti, with a subsequent extension to Boschetto Holiday.

2010 Papa Carlo dies; Giorgio becomes the owner of the property.

2010 Introduction and installation of mobile homes at Camping Bosco.

2015 Giorgio also dies. Vittorino receives ownership of the real estate complex and the business.

2018 Vittorino leases the company and real estate complex to Holiday Camp.

2022 Two German families, who have been closely linked to Cannobio for many years, get to know and appreciate Vittorino. They agree to purchase the traditional Camping Bosco Cannobio and promise Vittorino to continue the campsite and vacation village in the spirit of his family and its long tradition. The campsite and vacation village undergo extensive modernization after the end of the 2022 season.

2023 Lakeview Cannobio S.r.l. has been operating Bosco Camping since then, which is renamed Lakeview Cannobio. An international team led by Marica from Cannobio leads the campsite and vacation village into the future. For the 2023 season, the sanitary areas, restaurant, reception, and lounge are renovated, and apartments and mobile homes are refurnished.

2024 Nine new premium mobile homes replace some of the previous mobile homes.

Today our guests stay by the lake just as they did in the Bosco days: on a pitch for motorhome, caravan or tent, in a mobile home on Lake Maggiore or in a holiday apartment in Cannobio.
