Been here?
This is a free, paved parking area near Santa Claus Village, with large spaces and no camper services. Overnight parking is possible in the rear corner, but visitors have recently been warned that fines may be possible and advised to use the area left at the entrance. The site can be noisy because of nearby huskies, low-flying aircraft and occasional construction. Wi-Fi is available, and the village is within walking distance.

It is flat and overnight stays are allowed = 1 star. Without snow, it is sad, ugly, and barren. There is a pack of Huskies howling almost continuously, and fighter jets pass frequently and regularly at low altitude. What a disappointment!
As soon as we parked the motorhome in this area, a man came to tell us that we could be fined here. He recommended the place at the same entrance, on the left.
You can park in the back corner and stay overnight for free. The parking area is lit.
We stopped over night as out of season. Ok if got all on board. Camp site over the other side of road. Enjoyed our walk around Santa Land and in the evening when closed it was quite magical even with out snow. Took the Forrest walk to santas forest. Go under the underpass, beautiful walk and get to see the skidoo flutes and huskey tracks.
Anyone who likes extreme kitsch is in the right place here. Everyone else should avoid this village.
We stayed in this parking lot during the day and we really had a pleasant short stay. As it is close to a theme park it was quiet noisy but we felt safe and nobody bothered us. It was also free of charge in summer but unfortunately there weren't any facilities available.
A nice paved parking area, but without services.
We were only here during the day to see Santa’s village. Large free parking areas, not very busy in summer, so there was enough space even for large motorhomes.
Quiet at night, but from 6 a.m. there was construction work with an excavator operating.
Good parking area for visiting the Arctic Circle and Santa Claus with everything included. You can use the toilet in the office, but there are no showers or water and waste facilities. We stayed at the back on the small road; it was still not quiet.
Large site with many parking spaces on all sides of the buildings. All the way on the right there are spaces for motorhomes, but there is also room to park here and there in between.
Excellent parking area. Quiet and within walking distance of Santa Village. No facilities except Wi-Fi.
Parking area of dirt and gravel, fairly flat. No services or bins. Moderately noisy road nearby. The packs of dogs at the Husky center howl periodically; you either like it or you do not.
Free and flat, but it starts getting very busy early in the morning. Many people pass by from the other large parking area across the street. Meeting point for northern-lights tours, so it is also noisy until late at night.
Parking area used for a few hours to visit Santa Claus Village. No services, level ground.
Large parking area, perfect for one night and for visiting Santa Claus Village. It is very nice to walk through the completely empty village at night. We slept peacefully alongside other campers.
Parking area without services but close to Santa Claus Village. Quiet at night.
The place is fine for visiting the park and staying overnight.
It is a paved parking area, which can be a plus on a rainy day! Very quiet night and plenty of space between vehicles. Good solution after visiting Santa Claus Village, which has no appeal. Entirely commercial.
Perfect starting point for a walk through Santa’s village. Large choice of parking spaces. Clean. Bins available.
