4 Karavangatan, 00980, Helsinki
Been here?
A well-maintained, urban campsite near Helsinki, with flat partially paved pitches and meadow tent sites among spruce trees. The metro station is a 3-minute walk away and reaches the city in 20 minutes; a small supermarket is nearby. Two nights with a roof tent, two people and electricity cost 83€. Reception is open 24 hours, but sanitary cleaning can be insufficient when the site is full, and WLAN is weak in some areas.

We stayed there for five nights and had a narrow pitch. Completely sufficient. Sanitary block no. 4 was not okay; it was not cleaned adequately. Everything was old and some doors could not be locked. Water and waste facilities are excellent. Overall, the site is always completely full in the evenings. Metro and a small supermarket nearby.Translating
Beautiful place for exploring Helsinki. You can quickly reach the city by bike or train. The site is idyllic, with access to the beach.Translating
Clean sanitary facilities, extremely friendly staff, excellent connection to the city centre. We paid €83 for two nights with a rooftop tent, two people and electricity. The metro and a small supermarket are directly behind the site. By metro, you can reach the city in 20 minutes.Translating
We only got a place on the overflow area at the edge, a gravel pitch. Awnings are not allowed, but there is plenty of space. Well organised and quiet. The only issue is that cleaning the sanitary facilities just once a day is far too little for the size and number of guests. Checkout until 15:00 is brilliant.Translating
We stayed for one night. The only campsite in Helsinki. About 14 km outside the city, but the metro station is a three-minute walk away and takes you to the centre. You pay at the machine by card before going down the escalator. It does not print anything; the card serves as the ticket. Very well-maintained campsite, clean bathrooms and showers, and absolutely nothing is missing. Everything is as described. I recommend booking. Bye.Translating
It is the only possibility for staying overnight near the city. If I had known when booking that you cannot put out an awning on a standard pitch (a completely pointless rule, since the individual pitches are separated by hedges), I would of course have paid €2 more for a pitch twice as large. Wi-Fi only works near reception.Translating
We spent four nights in this huge, well-equipped and clean campsite. An unpleasant surprise on the first morning: my electric mountain bike was stolen, even though it was locked. A magnetic card is required to access the sanitary facilities and other communal areas, but anyone can enter and leave this campsite in the suburbs. So be careful: keep everything locked, or more.Translating
Wonderful five-star site with a great sauna experience shared with many Finns and few tourists, plus swimming in the sea/bay. We got a pitch without a reservation at the beginning of July.Translating
We spent there just one night on the way to Tallinn. Even they were fully booked they found us spot for a car without electricity. Better to call before arrival to check occupancy. Camp has really everything what you need. What wasn’t nice for us on the grass that there were everywhere ducks and their excrements, quite big and really everywhere.
A really great city campsite with good connections to the city. Sanitary facilities are adequate and very clean. Reception is open 24 hours; it is just a little expensive.Translating
€208 for six nights (one motorhome and two people) is expensive for an asphalt parking space where awnings are forbidden, even without their supports, to protect yourself from the rain. Sauna very average. Free access on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but mediocre quality. Nearby beach disgusting, sand not cleaned and covered with bird droppings. Restrict the stay to the return ferry. Easy access to Tallinn by metro.Translating
Very well-maintained and well-organised campsite. Pitches are asphalted, with grid pavers for the seating area, many green spaces and a park-like setting; pitches are separated by hedges. Friendly staff. Booking in advance recommended! We stayed in the front section, close to the metro, but it was not considered disturbing. Five minutes to the metro; €3.50 per person. Helsinki Card can be purchased at reception.Translating
You need to reserve in advance. Upon arrival, we were told it was fully booked for the next four days.Translating
Good place, quiet and with all the necessary services.Translating
Campsite offering all amenities, including a sauna on certain days; quiet, well maintained, as is rarely found in a capital city. The staff are also very helpful. Direct access to the beach and several hiking trails. Extremely easy connections to the city. Small self-service shop open every day until late, 100 metres away.Translating
Typical large city campsite. It was very full, but okay for one night. Sanitary facilities and kitchen well maintained and clean. Good spot for taking the metro into the city.Translating
Stayed here for 2 nights. Everything a camper needs is available. Excellent metro connection (M1) to the city center.Translating
Stayed here for 2 nights; the site is very close to the city and the train station is right outside the door. A supermarket is also within walking distance. Highly recommended for visiting Helsinki.Translating
Nice campsite for visiting Helsinki. Metro station and shopping nearby. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Good value for money.Translating
Visited at the end of April. Everything was clean! Good washing machines and drying racks available. Great kitchen and playroom right next door, so parents can cook in peace while keeping an eye on the children.Translating
Perfect campsite for visiting Helsinki. Metro station and shopping facilities nearby. Swimming in the lake is possible and the sanitary facilities are clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly.Translating
Great campsite with a grassy play area, playground, and beach, very close to the metro. Use it to explore Helsinki. Taking the full package makes it quite expensive, as expected in a capital city. We stayed three nights. We couldn't find Wi-Fi, but we didn't need it.
Good campsite! Friendly reception, choice of large or smaller pitches, with or without electricity and a camping card. We had a large pitch without electricity; for two people it was €34. With electricity it was €42. Several sanitary blocks, wonderfully hot showers, washing machine and dryer available. The metro is practically next to the campsite and you can be in central Helsinki within 20 minutes.
Great place for exploring the city. Metro right outside the door. Sanitary facilities okay. The hot water ran out in the morning. Everyone was very friendly. Excellent for a city campsite.
Perfect for exploring Helsinki immediately after arriving by ferry. Less than 10 minutes from the ferry terminal to the site. Two adults and one camper without electricity cost €36. Toilets and showers clean and sufficient. The metro takes 20 minutes to the city. We would use this site again.
Great site for visiting Helsinki, so it is usually quite full. Everything is well organized and there are sufficient sanitary facilities with spacious showers, always very clean. The price is reasonable for a capital city. Metro and a small K-Market are 400 m away. We bought a two-day public transport ticket, which was extremely practical. Recommended!
Perfect starting point for a trip to Helsinki. Everything is very well organized and maintained. Sufficient sanitary buildings. The metro station is 400 m away.
Very well-organized site. Only a 500-meter walk to Rastila metro station and from there to the center. On the one hand, it is located within the city; on the other, it is close enough to nature that we saw deer and a fox.
A very clean and beautiful site with good metro connections for visiting Helsinki. Supermarkets in the immediate vicinity. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The sanitary facilities and the site itself are very clean.
Great campsite, very clean sanitary facilities, microwave and hotplates available. Metro station five minutes away, taking you to the city center in 20 minutes. Small supermarket nearby.
Beautiful site, very good metro connection to the center, parceled pitches, spacious and clean showers and sanitary facilities, friendly service. €42 for a large pitch including electricity.
Typical city campsite with good rail connections to the center. Pitches are parceled, larger and smaller. Sanitary facilities absolutely fine and clean. Friendly staff. The price for a motorhome, large pitch, two people without electricity was €33. 4.5 stars, so 5.
Municipal campsite, the only one in Helsinki. It has the disadvantages of its location: large, with motorhomes packed closely together in rows. But two very good points: excellent, very well-maintained facilities, and above all smiling, attentive, and highly professional staff. Despite the urban surroundings, a hare has made its home at the campsite and wanders through the lanes. I named him Vatanen.
Great campsite with friendly operators. The connection to the city is excellent, and it has everything you need. We were there over the weekend. Almost fully booked at that time.
Perfect for a city campsite! Metro station just around the corner & travel is simple with the HSL App (head for Central Station). We emailed a booking just to be sure and glad we did as it was busy - we were given a nice wide pitch instead of a narrow one. 3 facilities blocks (key card access) but one closed at time of visit. Everything well laid out & very clean. Rodi's pizza was great!
Beautiful campsite in winter. Very quiet. Very well organized and close to Helsinki. Very welcoming staff. Recommended.
Rather modern and beautifully laid-out site, but unfortunately all the pitches I saw were very sloped. After a week and a half, I had to use leveling blocks for the first time. The price is okay at €31 including electricity (€44 without a camping card), but it could be reduced a little in winter. Probably not necessary because of the long-term campers. This was my last night before the ferry from Helsinki.
We stayed here over New Year's. Very clean and large campsite. Nice staff and many extras. Especially important for us was the drying room for our snowy clothes and the sauna ❤️
After seven weeks and eight countries on the road Rastila scores highest on cleanliness, security, possibilities to walk the dogs in nice neighbourhood, size of the pitches and ease to set yourself up, warmness of shower rooms, closeness to public transport. Well done Helsinki.
Wonderful for a city campsite, everything you need is available, well-maintained site, direct access to the beach and forest, and metro to the city center. The sanitary facilities are kept very clean and the staff are kind and helpful.
One person with a rooftop tent and electricity: €28. Great with the HSL app (AB area day ticket), metro M1, ten stops to Central Station. Then take tram P9 or 2 to Kaupahalli at the harbor. From there, use the same ticket to reach Suomenlinna fortress island. Kaupahalli dates from 1889. Fish and More is recommended. Return toward Vuossari on the M1.
We were able to dispose of toilet waste and wastewater and fill up with water for €3. Very nice lady. Thank you.
