The tent area can accommodate 10-15 hammocks, depending on the placement. The tent and hammock area is open annually from May to October. Please note that you cannot book a spot via our website if the booking and arrival dates are the same; online reservations must be made at least 1 day in advance. If you are arriving today, please check availability by phone at +358 41 436 1790

In the almost natural tent area, you 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 upon returning to take a breather before heading home. For example, you can leave your car in our Parking area for the duration of the Pogostan kierros (91km).

Note, all forms 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 other open fire must never be lit if the surrounding conditions (due to dryness, wind, or other reasons) are such that there is an obvious danger of a forest fire, grass fire, or other fire – do not light!

The price includes a hammock pitch, and the use of toilets, showers, cooking facilities, and a campfire site. From the beginning of June to the end of August, there is also a general sauna slot in the main building's electric saunas from 7-9 PM. Separate saunas for women and men. (schedule changes possible).
A family sauna slot for the wood-heated lakeside sauna can also be booked for an additional fee. You can find the lakeside sauna's booking calendar on the services page.
