Excellent campsite, very well located between the amethyst mine and the Tankavaara gold mine. Impeccable services. €36 to spend the night with a large motorhome, including showers, electricity, black-water disposal, fresh-water filling, etc. Easy access.
Very friendly welcome, and the sheltered pitches with trees and hedges are really nice, even though you can hear the road. The rear area seemed almost a little bleak, but that does not matter for a stopover and may be due to construction work. Sanitary facilities and disposal were flawless.
A small site at the back is currently under construction. Friendly staff. You can choose your pitch. Sanitary facilities are clean, though the arrangement of the showers takes some getting used to. But as mentioned, everything works and is clean. Disposal also works. A nice little pub with small meals is almost next door. The food was delicious. Good value for money here too.
We only stopped to replenish drinking water and dispose of gray and black water: €4 total, with very friendly staff.
Stopped for one night, friendly and welcoming. All facilities available €34 per night with Acsi card. Plenty of parking available some places has slope so careful selection, we used the hard standing and whilst near the road we slept really well.
Super-friendly welcome at reception! The site is very uneven. When it rains, water collects on the grass. The sanitary facilities were quite dirty on arrival, but were then cleaned. They are very outdated. Many barking dogs on the site.
Very friendly welcome in English. Free choice between powered pitches on a large meadow or pitches among trees and bushes. Quiet location; the showers and toilets are outdated but very clean. Waste disposal and fresh water available. Two people with a motorhome cost €35 per night. Recommended!
We came here to dispose of gray and black water and refill fresh water. We also asked whether we could use the shower. Complete service plus showers for two people: €12. Very friendly lady at reception. Thank you very much for this possibility. The campsite made a tidy impression.
Made a service visit to dump waste water and toilet waste, and refill fresh water. Cost: €4.
The men's toilet smells terrible, like a cesspit, and the kitchen also smells very bad.
Emptying the toilet cassette costs €5. Remote operation.
We were allowed to use the shower and dispose of black water. Friendly welcome. Cost: €12 for two people to shower and dispose of black water. The toilet building is somewhat dated but clean, and the shower was wonderfully hot. In short, excellent!
Nice place, large and very quiet. The bathrooms are a little old but still functional. It is also possible to pay for just a shower (€4).
Actually, everything about the site has already been said. Everything necessary is available. The shower partitions may be loose, but one should not dance in there. €36 including everything is reasonable. We had less comfort at other sites where there were no shower partitions and they charged €10 more.
The worst campsite on our trip through Finland. The shower and toilet facilities are not only old but really dirty. You can hardly touch the shower walls; everything is just screwed together provisionally. I am a tradesman, so I know what I am talking about. The grass pitches and those among the trees are very wet, so we had to spend the night in the car park by the fairly busy road.
Nice pitch around the fire pit. Be careful: after rain, the unreinforced ground is muddy. Hardstanding available if needed. Laundry facilities adequate, sanitary facilities outdated but the water is very hot. Quiet night.
Well-equipped site with many pitches. Washing machine and dryer available. €40 for a motorhome, family and electricity. Not far from the supermarket.
A very pleasant experience at this campsite. Beautiful pitches and clean, functional facilities. A very warm welcome. We will return.
Larger campsite with pitches on asphalt, on the large meadow, or cozily among the trees. Sanitary facilities are somewhat old but clean, and limited in number.
Very good campsite, with all services easy to find and functioning. Very pleasant staff at reception.
Great site. Large meadow with some trees and plenty of free space. €30 for two people in a camper without electricity. There are also several powered pitches. Across the road is a small river beach. Sanitary facilities are clean, just somewhat old.
Nice campsite with many pitches separated by trees. Sanitary facilities and kitchen clean, cozy atmosphere, and quiet despite the road. €36 for a night for two people is fine.
Good place to rest. All services available. €30 per day for van and two people, plus €5 for the washing machine. Free grassy area without electricity. Decent and clean facilities. Free waste-water emptying and water filling. Beside the river, with a swimming area, and within walking distance of the supermarket. Impossible to improve on this. Excellent service. 100% recommended.
We stayed here for one night. Clean, good facilities. The cabin we stayed in was also clean.
Prices have increased: €22 for a caravan pitch, €4 per person, and €5 for the washing machine. But everything is great and clean, even if somewhat dated. The washing machines are in high demand because there are only two left; washing takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. One dryer and two drying cabinets are available, and they work.
Everything has been said about the site and it is accurate. I was here on 01/07/2025 and the site was quite empty. It is a pity there is no bread-roll service. I paid €32 for a motorhome with electricity.
Large campsite with everything you need. We stayed one night while passing through, visited Finland's oldest church, and found good shopping opportunities in town.
Beautiful campsite with all the necessary facilities—not brand-new, certainly, but functional. Accepts Camping Key. €28 for two people and one motorhome without electricity, €5 for the washing machine, dryer free. Two stars deducted because the neighbors' dogs barked all night, and another because the grassy meadow was very wet with many signs of vehicles getting stuck.
Wonderful campsite with everything you need: gray-water and toilet disposal, fresh water, kitchen, sanitary facilities, etc. I paid €32 for my motorhome, one person including electricity; showers are included. Sanitary facilities somewhat old but clean. The kitchen only has an external hotplate and is not really equipped, hence one star deducted. One of the cheapest campsites in the area. I would gladly return; the woman at reception was nice.
