Still heavily covered in snow, but special mention for the welcome.
We stopped at this campsite after traveling from Norway. The sauna is top-notch; everything is available: showers, toilets, a refrigerator, water, a changing room, a terrace, and the possibility of plunging into cool water, although there is no beach. The sauna is free for women and men (at different times) for two hours each. Private time can also be rented. Very peaceful. Bring mosquito repellent for a pleasant stay! Everything is clean! Good price. Thank you!
Nice campsite with a sauna and shower, but lots of mosquitoes.
Very nice female operators. You can feel Lapin Kulta, which means Lapland Gold, here. The sauna is fantastic; afterwards you can jump into the lake. There is also a restaurant and gas station, and you can stock up at the mini-market.
Beautiful campsite with new sanitary facilities. Good pitches, somewhat muddy because of the rain. We paid €35 including electricity and sauna. The sauna is also like new. Women may use the sauna from 5–7 p.m., men from 7–9 p.m. At other times it is private and costs extra. We ate well at the restaurant. Very friendly female owner.
Excellent new facilities, reasonable pitches and very friendly staff. Lovely and quiet.
Fine for one or two nights. Great that electricity is included in the price. Everything is somewhat old and partly run-down, and not particularly well maintained. It is recommended to use the showers in the sauna because they are clean. The sauna is nice and clean. The “swimming area” is unusable. The mini-market and gas station are also very expensive.
Great basic site. Everything you need for one night. Friendly and helpful staff. Very well-equipped mini-market. Fuel at the gas station is incredibly expensive. If possible, fill up beforehand.
The operator should close in winter. Rip-off. They trap you into staying. I will involve a lawyer. Car broken down.
No stars. Please do not drive to this site. We can no longer leave and are receiving no help from the operator. No breakdown assistance. The pitches were not cleared. They deliberately sent us down here. Avoid this place; no help can be expected. Electricity is ancient porcelain-fuse technology. The site does not match the description.
Nicely situated campsite. Electricity and nice warm showers. Sauna available. Restaurant and mini market on site. 1 star removed because their rubbish bins were overflowing.
I stayed here with my Lupo and rooftop tent. For €30 including electricity and shower, you cannot complain. The sanitary facilities are acceptably clean, but old. Because the campsite is on a slope, you cannot hear the road, although many pitches are not particularly level. There is a restaurant and gas station directly at the campsite. The staff are super friendly! It is also open in winter.
After checking with the operator, we were allowed to stay one night in a sheltered bay directly beside the electrical hookup. We had a tasty but extremely expensive dinner at the restaurant there, essentially as a “thank you” for being allowed to stay exceptionally. Camping is actually no longer permitted here in November, but the operators are very kind and friendly.
Great campsite for one night, directly by the water. Very good views of the northern lights. Sauna and sanitary facilities included in the price. Unfortunately, we could not use the electrical hookup because it was broken. €30 per night.
