There’s a campsite in almost every village in Swedish Lapland. And if not, you’ll likely find a cabin to rent or a spot to park your camper.
Camp your way. Urban oases or your own little island. RV, caravan, tent or cabin – whatever your style. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful escape or an active holiday, there are plenty of great places to pitch your camp for a few days. Why not camp near the ski slopes in late spring? Set up by the sea in summer? Or find a hidden spot and watch for the northern lights as autumn rolls in? Check out the full map of campsites in Swedish Lapland.
A road trip is simply a way of discovering things you've never seen before. If you give yourself the chance, you might also come across flavours you've never experienced before.
Laponia is unique in so many ways. A place of universal worth both in terms of its culture and of its nature. Looking back at its history, this Sámi World Heritage holds a story for all eight seasons of the future.
Places still exist where there's no point asking for the password for the wifi. Places where you leave your mobile behind to spend some quality time with others – or perhaps with yourself. The Sámi eco-lodge Geunja and the camp in Tjuonajokk are two of Swedish Lapland's finest places.

The choice is yours – every step of the way.

Summer (June–August) is the most popular season, offering midnight sun and mild temperatures. Spring and autumn bring fewer visitors and beautiful natural colors. Winter camping is also possible – but requires more gear and preparation.
It depends on the season and location. During high season, it’s a good idea to book in advance, especially at popular campgrounds.
Be a responsible camper – always check the rules before wild camping. Parking a motorhome, caravan or rooftop tent is not covered by Sweden’s Right of Public Access (Allemansrätten). For detailed guidelines, visit the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket). If you’re travelling with a tent, your possibilities are nearly endless. Thanks to Allemansrätten, you’re allowed to head into nature and pitch your tent almost anywhere, as long as you respect the land and follow the rules.
Most campsites allow pets, but always check the rules of each site and make sure to keep dogs on a leash.
Prices vary depending on the campsite and type of accommodation, but here are some general ranges:
Tent pitch: SEK 100–300 per night
Camper/RV with electricity: SEK 250–500 per night
Cabin: SEK 500–1500 per night
