The tent area can accommodate 10 - 15 hammocks, depending on the location. The tent and hammock area is open annually from May to October. Please note that you cannot reserve a place through our website if the reservation and arrival date are the same, online reservations must be made at least 1 day in advance. If you are arriving today, please confirm availability by calling + 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 when returning to sigh for a moment before returning home. For example, for the Pogosta tour ( 91km ), you can leave your car in our parking area.

Note, any kind of open fire in the camping area is strictly prohibited. There are two separate campfire sites behind the main building for making an open fire. A campfire or other open fire may never be lit if the surrounding conditions, due to drought, wind or other reasons, are such that there is an obvious risk of a forest fire, grass fire or other fire - do not light it!

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