Nature parking, camping prohibited

This and the other parking lot of Varlaxudden are busy on sunny days in the summer. But you may stay overnight in your car. When the sign says "It is forbidden to camp at the car park", the definition of camping is "Taking out camping chairs or setting up stabiliser jacks is considered camping", that is explained on the website of Uuvi which takes care of the site.

The sign visible in the pictures says that camping in the parking lot is not allowed. The sign in one of the pictures says that camping in the parking lot is not allowed.

Really good and peaceful place to spend the night! Firewood and fire pits are available.

There are two parking lots; I used the first one, about 300 m earlier. Both have space for about 10 to 15 cars, or fewer if they are campers (not everyone likes close-quarters camping). The Baltic Sea is 200–300 m away, and both places have wood storage for a nice fire by the sea. I had set up my fire bowl in the parking lot...

Overnight stays in the parking lot are not permitted, though they are tolerated at most. A sign says that camping is allowed under the right of access, meaning non-motorized travelers, but not in the parking lot. The fire pits also have small shelters with benches where you can sleep.

Great. Unfortunately, there are still campers who park barely one meter away even though the place is almost empty. It is a shame that Finnish campers permanently discharge their wastewater; you can see the puddle of foam directly. Not a quiet place in itself, but the sea below is beautiful! Nicely arranged fire pits with free wood. We had a quiet night.

Quiet and beautiful parking lot, with many walkers and hikers during the day. Waste disposal is possible. Many fire pits with wood are available. We stayed overnight with another camper; the locals still had plenty of parking spaces. Great hiking trails.

Wonderful view and nicely arranged fire pits. Plenty of firewood is available. The kids enjoyed climbing on the rocks. Not really suitable for swimming: it is very rocky, and during our visit a thick carpet of algae had washed ashore. We were here on a Thursday evening and spent a quiet night.

The place is nice and almost empty in the afternoon, but from seven o’clock onward more and more young people arrive to come to the sea and have fun.

We spent a quiet night in nature here. It is only about 200 meters to the water. A dry toilet is available, as are firewood and a fire pit.

Quite popular, forest views. Short walk to the waterfront. A lot of birds and smells for a cat to chase. Apparently locals gather here for drinks on some weekends though.
