On 29 June this year (2011), the Grenna Hamn site will open with an inauguration ceremony at 12:00. The site will have 30 pitches for motorhomes and is located at Gränna Harbour, right next to Lake Vättern and within walking distance of the town centre.

Services at the car park
The site has marked spaces for motorhomes, an emptying station, a payment machine, a barrier for entry and exit, and spaces with electrical connections. This is according to a press release from Husbilsdestination Sverige.
Motorhome destination Sweden
The working group for Motorhome Destination Sweden includes the Swedish Caravan Industry Association (HRF), Swedish Camping Association (SCR), Caravan Club, Kabe Motorhome Club, the Police and the Swedish Transport Agency. We can only comment that we think it is nice to have more parking spaces!
Update: New photos from the car park in Gränna.
Update in 2021: Since we wrote this post about the caravan park in Gränna in 2011, we have had time to visit the beautiful town and the nice caravan park itself. Our experience was that the site was excellent, with good service and good location. In May 2021 we paid 220 SEK/day to stay here. Here are some new photos from the site.

We can also suggest different things to see and do in Gränna. You can of course eat candy canes, but also visit the interesting Grenna museum, where you can learn about the Andrée expedition, or enjoy beautiful nature areas nearby.
We can also recommend an excursion to Visingsö, which offers a peaceful environment, several interesting historical sights and various activities for both children and adults. You can either bring your motorhome (there is a caravan park on the island) or leave it in the caravan park in Gränna harbour and cross over on foot or by bike. Read more here:

Good job! I hope it is open in the winter when we would like to have electricity. Spring and summer we choose Gyllene Uttern and Brahe Hus.

Good that parking spaces are coming to Sweden. The rest of Europe is way ahead - or am I wrong? It's just hearsay, but I've bought into it ........

Joul, thanks for the warm comment about our site! It's been many years since I've been to Gränna, but now that they've got a car park, maybe you should go there.
😉
Matts, yes, when you don't need electricity, ordinary rest areas often work very well. We have probably also stopped at Brahe Hus at some point.
Veiken, yes, that's true, at least if you're talking about countries like Germany and so on (there are plenty of pitches). In Eastern Europe, there aren't many pitches, but on the other hand, camping is cheap...

Lars, thanks for the link to the picture! Looks great, with many places!
Monica, that was fast! 😉
Yes, it's almost always nice to have pitches at harbours, a great location.

Good place but unfortunately there are only 8 electric pitches and the pitches without electricity still cost the same amount - does not really feel logical. First come, first served in other words... On the other side of the road there is motorhome parking without electricity at a much better price. Next time we go there we will choose the latter option!
