There are 10-15 tent pitches depending on the size of the tents. The tent and hammock area is open annually from May to October, depending on the weather. Please note that you cannot book a pitch through our website if the booking and arrival dates are the same; online bookings must be made at least 1 day in advance. If you are arriving today, please check availability by phone at 041 436 1790.

In the nearly natural tent 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 small children to practice camping, or at the beginning of a longer hiking trip to prepare for departure, or upon returning to relax for a moment before heading home. For example, you can leave your car in our Parking area for the duration of the Pogostan kierros (91km).

Note, all open fires are strictly forbidden in the Campsite. Behind the main building, there are two separate campfire sites for making open fires. Never light a campfire or other open fire 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 tent 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 at the main building's electric saunas from 7-9 PM. Separate saunas for women and men. (schedule changes possible).
You can also book a family sauna session at the Wood-heated lakeside sauna for an additional fee. You can find the lakeside sauna's booking calendar on the services page.
