Riverside stop, pothole road
99100, Kittilä
Been here?
A quiet grassy wild spot beside a river, suitable for a one-night stop and accessible by camper. The final 3 km follow a badly maintained, potholed gravel road, and river access is difficult because the bank is overgrown. Mosquitoes are numerous due to the nearby river and marshy area. A larger parking area 100m farther on is sometimes used by locals visiting their boats.

A large rest area on the banks of a river. It is accessible by camper, but the last 3 km are along a gravel road full of potholes. There are many mosquitoes because of the nearby river and marshland. Suitable for a one-night stop. Quiet place; we encountered only one angler. Access to the river is difficult because the bank is overgrown and steep. Overall, nothing special, but suitable for overnighting.Translating
Not worth the road - we just went down this in our 7m camper and turned around once we got there. Sure it’s a pretty view but it requires driving down 10min of continuous potholes and bog territory. Road is very unmaintained, not worth the insurance risk if you get stuck. Definitely equally beautiful spots out there without subjecting your vehicle to these conditions. Would be fine for a 4WD.
Small grassy spot, easy to drive onto. Quiet, with a view of the river. We stayed here with a 7 m vehicle; there would be room for two vans. At the second, larger spot 100 m farther on, locals often meet by their boats kept there.Translating
