Camping Haapasaaren Lomakylä

Alan Rogers Review of Camping Haapasaaren Lomakylä

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.

Haapasaaren’s friendly owners organise a series of guided tours throughout the year. These include hiking and nature treks, berry and mushroom picking and, during the winter, ice fishing and cross-country skiing. Helvetinjärvi National Park is one of the most dramatic areas of western Finland, and is made up of deep gorges and dense forests. There is a rich population of birds and occasionally even brown bears and lynx can be seen here.
