Been here?
A lakeside rest area with a beautiful view, suitable mainly for a coffee or lunch break. Parking is limited to 2 hours, and a café, picnic tables and public outhouses are available. Toilet emptying is possible through a 30cm pipe beside the toilet block, but the toilets and waste facilities have recently been reported in poor condition. No water service is provided.

The two-hour parking sign applies in the car park. In the adjacent forest above the steep bank, under the trees overlooking the river, it does not apply. Very beautiful camping spots.Translating
Good for a coffee/lunch break (there is also a café here). You can empty toilet waste into a soil pipe to the left of the toilets but it's not really suitable for getting rid of grey waste. Translating
Very pleasant stop. Small local restaurant, very good. Recommended!Translating
Three bullet holes in the toilet doors—two in the men's and one in the women's. Apparently people are unhappy with the condition of the toilets.Translating
Quiet parking area, with the possibility of emptying the toilet; no other services. Public toilets are present but very dirty. Otherwise, beautiful area with picnic tables and a view of the lake.Translating
The toilets are completely wrecked and filthy. The latrine dump is so full that it flows straight into the forest.Translating
This parking area has a “caravan waste disposal” on the left hand side of the toilet block. It is a 30cm pipe with a lid. If you have a bucket you can get rid of your grey waste into the same pipe with no issues. Rare place in Finland where you can do this. Translating
Lovely stop for a coffee break. Great views. bins and dry toilets provided.Translating
We stayed for one night in winter without any problems, no service but niceTranslating
Cleared of snow in winter. Maximum parking time is two hours, although in winter nobody probably cares. We only stopped briefly. The toilet was open, which is rare up here in winter.Translating
Adequate for an overnight stay. The road is busy even at night. Small motorhomes can also park in the adjacent forest by the water. It is quieter there, but there are many mosquitoes.Translating
Quite a noisy place, but the beach and toilets are a plus.Translating
Very nice place for a stop or an overnight stay. Lovely café and a great bonus is the possibility of emptying the chemical toilet. Lots of mosquitoes, as everywhere in Lapland.Translating
We took a short break and first bought some smoked salmon from two very nice ladies. We were also able to empty the chemical toilet. Very nice place.Translating
Snow cleared in winter, far enough from the road for a quiet night.Translating
