Riverside beach, difficult access
79 Timolantie, 97280, Rovaniemi
Been here?
This riverside swimming beach is a quiet overnight stopping place with a pleasant view, although some road noise can be heard. Recent information says there is no longer a campfire or toilet. The access includes a steep descent and a difficult gravel climb, so it is unsuitable for some vehicles. Mosquitoes can be extremely troublesome, and the narrow approach has low-hanging branches.

Quiet parking with a lovely view. You can hear a little road noise. It was very peaceful for spending the night, but there is no longer a campfire or toilets.
Fine for stopping or relaxing if there are no mosquitoes and dandelions. Unfortunately, they were there this time, so we are leaving after one night. Staying indoors all day is not an option.
Be careful: there is a steep descent to reach the spot. Not every vehicle will be able to climb back up. A very steep uphill section with gravel.
Beautiful place for a break. We saw no sign prohibiting overnight stays, so theoretically it should be possible. Space for 1 or 2 motorhomes, no more, otherwise the place is blocked and there is a boat ramp. Beware of the very narrow access with low-hanging branches. No possibility to pass on the 300-meter access road.
Beautiful place to linger.
There is a sign saying "No staying overnight".
A quiet little spot along the river, with a shelter, fire pit, firewood, and dry toilets. You cannot hear the road, and only a few locals come by to walk their dogs. Very pleasant in summer.
