Campeggio Valchiusella
Campeggio Valchiusella is a campground just outside of Ivrea that is easily accessed from the town center. Known mainly by locals who come to the region to swim in the lakes, it's located through word of mouth and hard to book outside of Piedmont if you don't speak Italian, partly because the rates are 13 Euros a night (as of September 2009).
