Been here?
A magnificent, very quiet lakeside wild spot reached by a stony track of about ten kilometers. Swimming and fishing are possible, and reindeer and many birds may be seen. There are no services, mosquitoes can be numerous, and the road requires careful driving.

Pretty awesome place. The road here was really rough. You have to drive carefully. You can see reindeer and many varieties of birds here. Internet is not great.
Beautiful location by the lake. Swimming possibility. Good road and easy to find with coordinates. Very eager mosquitos and other insects - be prepared with proper repellents/devices.
Great place, in the middle of nowhere. Excellent fishing lake; we caught many perch. Unfortunately, countless mosquitoes, but that is the only drawback.
Super idyllic place! We saw reindeer and fished for pike! The road there was perfectly fine. Unfortunately, you cannot go all the way around the lake because the footbridge is broken. However, you can follow the stream on the other side of the road for a long way (see Strava).
Excellent spot to camp! A one star deduction as it is well known as a good fishing spot and locals come in the evening frequently. We stayed three nights and two nights we had visitors. No services. Take your trash away. Plenty of reindeer wandering around and very beautiful! Keep the scene clean and ride the vibe! Good Vibes approved!
We stayed three nights on the lower individual pitch. Absolutely fantastic. Completely quiet. Very clean. Excellent fire pit. We rebuilt the bench because the old one had rotted. The pitch is highly recommended. The approach with a 2WD 3.5-ton vehicle is bumpy but easily manageable. At 2:30 a.m. we had a visit from reindeer.
Great spot, with a nice small lake in an enormous pine forest. Lots of reindeer around. There is another spot 100 metres farther down the road, also awesome.
