The Tent pitch area can accommodate 10-15 hammocks, depending on placement. The tent and hammock area is open annually from May to October. Please note that you cannot make a Booking through our website if the Booking and arrival day are the same; online bookings must be made at least 1 day(s) in advance. If you are arriving today, please check Availability by phone at +358 41 436 1790

In the almost natural Tent pitch area, you will feel like you are in the middle of the forest, even though Services are only a hundred meters away. It is easy to come here with children, or at the beginning of a longer hiking trip to prepare for departure or to sigh for a moment upon returning before going home. For example, for the duration of the Pogostan kierros (91km), you can leave your car in our Parking area.

Note, all kinds of open fires are strictly forbidden in the Campsite. Behind the main building, there are two separate campfire sites for making open fires. A campfire or any other open fire must never be lit if the surrounding conditions due to dryness, wind, or other reasons are such that the danger of a forest fire, grass fire, or other fire is obvious – do not light it!

The Price includes a hammock pitch, use of toilets, Showers, cooking facilities, and a campfire site. From the beginning of June to the end of August, there is also a public sauna session in the main building's electric saunas from 7-9 PM. Separate saunas for women and men. (schedule changes possible).
A Family sauna session in the wood-heated Lakeside sauna is also available for an additional charge. You can find the Lakeside sauna Booking calendar on the Services page.

19.10.2026 - 30.04.2027 You can stay freely in the Tent pitch area without Payment. Please note that only a chemical outdoor toilet is Available (remember your own toilet paper and hand hygiene products) and an open cooking shelter. Water points are closed and there is no waste management, so please take your rubbish with you, as they should under no circumstances be placed in the toilet bin.
