Accommodation in Petkeljärvi National Park

Please note that in the Petkeljärvi National Park area, overnight stays are permitted only in specially designated places. In other words, car parking areas are not intended for overnight stays, nor are tents or hammocks allowed anywhere other than in areas marked for this purpose. Our delicate ridge nature thanks you.

The main building of the hiking center has its own accommodation wing with 10 simple hostel-style bedrooms. Guests in the accommodation wing have access to a fully equipped shared kitchen area and a living room. Pets are also welcome in some of the rooms. Nine of the rooms are similar, each with 2 bunk beds, i.e., beds for 4 people, and one more spacious room with a (160cm) double bed, a bunk bed, and a few sofa beds. The beds have mattresses, duvets, and pillows, but no sheets. Toilets and showers are located in the hallway, shared by all guests.

Park Ranger's Cabin is located about three kilometers from the hiking center along Petkeljärvi road. The cabin has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room, with beds for six people. There is a traditional lakeside sauna heated with wood (no shower); water for washing is fetched with a bucket from Pieni Kuikkalampi. A traditional outdoor toilet is in the outbuilding. The outbuilding also has a separate summer room for four people. Mattresses, duvets, and pillows are provided in the beds, but no sheets.

RVs, tents, and hammocks: depending on the situation and vehicle size, there are 7-13 electrified camping pitches and 5-10 non-electrified camping pitches. Tent and hammock pitches total 15-20 places depending on the situation. The camping fee includes the use of the Camp kitchen (washing up and cooking facilities), the Campfire hut (fireplace), toilets and showers, drinking water refill, and chemical toilet emptying facilities. Also, during June, July, and August, there is a public sauna slot at the main building's electric saunas.

We are open from early May until mid-October, weather permitting.
