Camping Sweden – A journey combining the best places for campers and tents.

I’m sure you already know very well, from our earlier articles, that Sweden is a real paradise for campers. The land of a thousand lakes, infinite forests and the Allemansrätten law, which allows camping almost everywhere, offers unforgettable experiences for tented and motorhome travelers. Below you will find a route that connects the best campsites in various regions of Sweden – from campsites with full infrastructure to wild, secluded nooks, where your only company will be elk and aurora beds.

Skåne

We start our trip from the most southern region of Sweden – Scania, which is perfectly suited for the first adventure with the Swedish style of camping.

First Camp Malmö

This campsite in the outskirts of Malmö is ideal for acclimatization. It offers full infrastructure for motorhomes and spacious places for tents. There are modern bathrooms, self-service kitchens and a grocery store on site. From here you can easily get to the center of Malmö and the famous Öresund Bridge, which connects Sweden and Denmark.

Wild camping in the Stenshuvud National Park

After two days of the city campsite, it’s time for a real camping in the forest this time! Stenshuvud National Park offers beautiful views of the Baltic Sea and white, sandy beaches. According to the Allemansrätten, you can pitch a tent for one night in most places, provided you keep a distance from private properties and respect the local nature.

Malandia – the heart of the Swedish lake

The next stage is the land known from Astrid Lindgren’s novel, full of lakes and characteristic red houses.

Camping Ekenäs

This picturesquely located campsite by Lake Helgasjön offers both camper sites and beautiful camping sites right on the shoreline. Guests can rent kayaks and bicycles, a sauna overlooking the lake and a restaurant serving local specialties. It is an excellent base for exploring the region.

Lake Åsnen archipelago

After a comfortable campsite, it’s time for an adventure. Lake Åsnen, which was declared a National Park in 2018, offers a unique opportunity to camp on small, uninhabited islands. You can rent a kayak and arrange a few days trip from the island to the island. On many of them there are special places for lighting campfires.

Stockholm and the archipelago – urban luxury and wildlife

The Swedish capital and its beautiful archipelago is an extraordinary combination of an urban campsite with wild nature.

Another place is Utö Island, which you can reach by ferry from Stockholm, offers beautiful places for wild camping among rocks and pine forests. The eastern shore of the island is virgin beaches ideal for setting up a tent.

Dalsland – Swedish Canada

The Dalsland region, known as the “Swedish Canada” due to its similar landscape, offers some of the most beautiful camping sites in the whole country.

Dalslands Aktiviteter

This unique campsite specializes in active recreation. It offers places for campers and tents, as well as houses on trees or transparent domes where we can observe stars. There is a rental office of kayaks, mountain bikes and climbing equipment on site.

Wild camping on Lake Lelång

For experienced campers we recommend wild places at Lake Lelång. We can rent a kayak here and go on a few days trip along the lake, camping on wild beaches. We especially recommend the area around Dalsland Canal, where the landscape resembles Canadian lakes.

Lapland – a challenge for campers and tents

Our journey ends in Swedish Lapland, the land of the northern sun, the aurora borealis and untouched nature.

Camp Ripan in Kiruna

Situated on the edge of Sweden’s northernmost city, this comfortable campsite offers luxurious amenities for tired travelers. In addition to standard camper and tent locations, there is also a sauna and swimming pool, and a restaurant serving traditional Lapland dishes, including reindeer meat and Arctic fish.

The Abisko National Park offers unique views, trekking trails of various difficulty levels and a chance to see the aurorae (from September to March). According to the Allemansrätten, you can pitch a tent for one night in most places in the park.
