On Finnish Nature Day, Saturday 29.08.26, we celebrate Petkeljärvi National Park's 70th birthday, when hammock pitches are super affordable! The discount applies only to pitches purchased via our website for the period Fri 28. - Sun 30.8. No free cancellation right for discounted pitches.

\r\n\r\n

The tent area can accommodate 10-15 hammocks, depending on their 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 nearly natural tent area, you feel like you're in the middle of the forest, even though services are only a hundred meters away. It's easy to come here with children, or at the start of a longer hiking trip to prepare for departure, or upon returning to relax for a moment before heading home. For example, during the Pogosta tour (91km), you can leave your car in our parking area.

\r\n\r\n

Note, all forms of open fires are strictly forbidden in the Campsite. There are two separate campfire sites behind the main building for making open fires. Nuotiota tai muuta avotulta ei saa koskaan sytyttää, mikäli ympäröivät olosuhteet kuivuuden, tuulen tai muun syyn takia ovat sellaiset, että metsäpalon, ruohikkopalon tai muun tulipalon vaara on ilmeinen – do not light!

\r\n\r\n

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).
\r\nA family sauna slot for the wood-heated lakeside sauna is also available for an additional fee. You can find the Lakeside sauna booking calendar on the services page.
