Camping in the Finnish archipelago

Are you looking for a unique camping experience? In the Finnish archipelago, you can pitch your tent in the middle of nature and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The Finnish archipelago is a great place to go camping with its beautiful islands, clear waters and interesting wildlife.

There’s nothing like waking up to the sound of waves rolling onto the shore and the smell of salt water in the air. And, don’t forget to bring your camera! One of the best things about camping in the archipelago is the opportunity to explore the many small islands by kayak or SUP. Rent a kayak or SUP and spend the day paddling through the archipelago’s waterways, stopping to swim, fish or just relax on a deserted beach.

Gather around the campfire to cook dinner and share stories with each other. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows or grilling some local delicacies, there’s nothing quite like a campfire meal in the great outdoors.

Forest fire warning

Always check for active wildfire warnings before lighting a campfire. It is forbidden to start an open fire when a warning is issued.
The active warnings can be found on the Ilmatieteenlaitos website.

Let wild animals live in peace

Allowing birds and other wildlife to live and breed in peace is essential to nature conservation. To protect these animals, some areas are isolated and closed during the breeding season. These areas are intended to provide a safe and peaceful environment for the animals to breed, without disturbance from human activity. It is important to respect these boundaries and refrain from entering these protected areas.

Keep nature clean

When camping, it is important to be aware of the impact we have on the environment. One way to do this is to keep the area clean and tidy. This means that you must handle waste in a correct way and not leave rubbish behind in nature. It also means practicing the "leave no trace" principles, which means not disturbing wild animals or harming plants. Additionally, using designated campsites and fire pits can help protect the surrounding area. By showing respect for nature and taking steps to minimize our impact, we can help ensure that these beautiful outdoor spaces remain for future generations to enjoy.

The Archipelago Trails are a good option for those who travel with motorhomes or caravans and want to discover the fantastic nature of the archipelago.
