First Camp Ekudden

Alan Rogers Review

First Camp Ekudden Camping occupies a long stretch of the eastern shore of Lake Vanern, to the northwest of the town, in a mixed woodland setting, and next door to the municipal complex of heated outdoor pools and sauna. The lake, of course, is also available for swimming and boating, and there are bicycles, tandems and canoes for hire at the tourist information office in town. Using the site as a base, you can visit the nearby Old Town of Mariestad, take a trip on a passenger boat out on Lake Vänern or visit the Göta Canal with its locks at Sjötorp. During the high season, the site can become very busy.

The spacious site can take 260 units on numbered pitches, and most have electrical hook-ups (16A). Most pitches are on level ground, either on grass or honeycomb grass paving blocks. Most are under the trees, but some at the far end of the site are on more open ground with good views over the lake.
