Clean sanitary facilities, a free washing machine and dryer, a café and a small 24/7 shop are nearby, but there is no electricity or greywater disposal. From October 1st to May 6th, facilities are unavailable and the pitches are not cleared of snow.

Nice place, but you have to go through the barrier to reach the toilet building, and space 16 is not recommended because it is next to overflowing bins.
Booking through the Göta Canal website is recommended. Then you can get a space directly by the water. During our visit, the Wilhelm Tham was welcomed with singing. Midsummer. No electricity here—it stays light for a long time, so who cares. Beautiful here. During our visit, a snake slithered through the meadow in front of the canal—this is nature. Recommended!
Can be booked in advance. So it is not certain that there will be vacant spaces when you arrive
At the end of April, part of the service facility was accessible. Beautiful spot
A very beautiful place!! It would be even better if there were information about when winter starts here! On October 10, the service building was closed. We understand that, but information about the actual closing date would be great!!
Beautiful place at one of Sweden's oldest locks. Very quiet and everything very clean and well maintained. At 300 SEK, not the cheapest motorhome site, but with the free washing machine and dryer it becomes very good value again :)
Poorly programmed website. I cannot book the site because all payment information is lost when I have to confirm the payment using another app. This has always worked for many other bookings
Beautiful motorhome site right at the lock. You can enjoy watching the boats passing through the lock. Charming village. Book online in advance or via the QR code on site. Clean toilets and showers. Our highlight was the free washing machine and dryer. No grey-water disposal and no electricity
Really lovely quiet stop. clean toilets and showers, free washing machine, beautiful surroundings. Fun to watch boats in the lock. It's ok to swim but there are better places- this is more for nature.
Beautiful surroundings. The toilet, shower, and black-water disposal are at the lock office some distance away. There is a small 24/7 shop across the canal. At the entrance there is a small café with food and drinks. I recommend their pizzas! Magically delicious ❤️
Great motorhome site. Check in online, choose a space, and pay by credit card or Swish. 300 SEK including showers and toilets, with an access code received by SMS, across the canal in the ferry house. Great view of the canal and lock. Delicious café on the other side of the road
Great motorhome site, very clean toilets and showers. Washing machine and dryer nearly new. Café and playground very close by
Romantically located site by the canal. No grey-water disposal, no electricity. If you need it, there is also no satellite reception because of the trees. But you do not need that here either. Enjoy the peace and marvel at the surroundings. An interesting industrial museum is nearby. Booking via QR code. Extending the booking was not possible because the space had already been taken by a new booking. So we had to move to vacant spaces. At 300 SEK, it is expensive
Nice place by the canal locks. Maybe a little overpriced as so many short term parking for campervans are these days. 300kr without electricity. Toilets & services accessible across the canal. Unfortunately on the grass there is too much bird poop from the geese family!
Very nice place, but quite busy. It is worth booking online or arriving by around 2 p.m. Our caravan, 7.5 m long, fit well in the back row. Great that showers, toilets, and service facilities are available
Picturesquely located site directly at the lock. However, 300 SEK for one night without electricity is quite steep. Booking online through the website is easy
In the last days of the low season, contrary to other entries, it costs 190 SEK without electricity; no electricity connections are currently visible either. The service building is open, and toilet disposal is also possible there. The 24/7 shop can also be used by non-Swedes with the appropriate app
Super location. However no discount off season even though the facilities are closed until May.
Low season: 300 SEK, nothing to see or do. No electricity. Far too expensive and deserted in winter
In the low season, the site is not worth the money. No ships pass by to watch. 300 kroner for old sanitary facilities and no electricity is too much. The little shop opposite is excellent, though; it is a self-service shop and you actually need a Swedish bank card, but you can call the very friendly owner and he will help you
Checking in with the app by scanning at the barrier was very easy. There are too few spaces in high season, so do not arrive too late. Not bad for one or two nights if you have bicycles with you. Of course, you can also watch the boats passing through the lock
We have already been here for the second time and appreciate the unique location directly at the lock. The little shop and café are highly recommended. The site now costs 300 SEK, including showers/toilets, which are somewhat dated, as well as a washing machine and dryer, both very new. It is now also possible to reserve online via the Göta Canal website
