Härmälä is a lively campsite near Lake Pyhäjärvi. It is situated only 4 km. from Tampere city centre. You can choose from a large number of unmarked pitches (about 180). The site has 111 cabins of various sizes and facilities. Amenities include a beach, saunas, playgrounds for children, a small shop and a pizzeria. The site seems a little run down but is acceptable for a couple of nights. Tampere is beautifully situated beside Lake Näsijärvi. A stroll along the harbour with its yachts and through the parks is a pleasant experience.
Haapasaaren is located on Lake Näsijärvi, around 70 km. north of Tampere in south western Finland. This is a well equipped site with a café and restaurant, a traditional Finnish outside dancing area and, of course, plenty of saunas! Rowing boats, canoes, bicycles and, during the winter months, sleds are all available to rent. Fishing is very popular here. Pitches are grassy and of a good size. There is also a good range of accommodation to rent, including holiday cottages with saunas. The cosy restaurant, Jätkäinkämppä, has an attractive terrace and fine views across the lake. Alternatively, the site’s café, Portinpieli, offers a range of snacks as well as Internet access.
The peace and tranquillity of the beautiful natural surroundings are the main attractions at this vast campsite (19 hectares), which is located on a narrow piece of land between two lakes. This site is a must if you want to get away from it all. There are a variety of cabins to rent, some with their own beach and jetty! The 130 marked touring pitches are beside the beach or in little meadows in the forest. You pick your own place. Site amenities include a café and a beach sauna. This is a spectacular landscape with deep gorges and steep lakeside cliffs.
Koljonvirta Camping is a large but quiet site located about five kilometres from the centre of Iisalmi. There are 200 marked grass pitches, 120 with electricity (16A). The site adjoins a lake and has a small beach and facilities for boating and fishing. Iisalmi town itself is on the northern edge of the Finnish Lake District and provides a good variety of shops, including some factory outlets, and an interesting variety of events during June, July and August. These vary from the world famous ‘Wife Carrying’ World Championships to the Lapinlahti ‘Cattle Calling’ Competition and the International Midnight Marathon.
Situated by Lake Pihlajavesi, this campsite is 5.6 miles from Punkaharju. Facilities you can find onsite include a restaurant, kiosk and children's playground.
Gasthaus-Camping Koskenniemi is located next to the Tainionvirta river, just two kilometres from Hartola in Finland. The campsite offers 120 spacious level touring pitches with electric hook-up points.
No trip to Finland would be complete without a few days stay in Helsinki, the capital since 1812. This all-year-round site has exceptional transport links, with the metro only five minutes’ walk from the campsite gates. It provides 165 touring pitches, all with 16A electricity hook-ups, plus an additional small field for tent campers. Shrubs have been planted between the tarmac and grass pitches. All visitors will want to spend time in the capital and a 24-hour bus, tram and metro pass can be bought at the metro station. Once on the metro, you are in the city centre within 20 minutes on this regular, fast train service.

South Finland
In the southwest of Finland, the capital, Helsinki, retains a small-town feel, with open-air cafés, green parks, waterways, and a busy market square surrounded by 19th-century architecture and museums. The flat western coastal regions include Turki and the Aland islands, ideal for sailing and fishing.
The main Lake District is centred on the beautiful Lake Saimaa in the southeast, where you can swim, sail, and fish. Finland’s forests, lakes, and rivers present incomparable surroundings in which to relax and enjoy the fresh air and unspoilt natural environment. Thanks to the concept of ‘Everyman’s Rights’, there is far greater freedom to roam freely in Finland than in most other countries.
