Living differently on a camping holiday
Swedish camping has more than 14 million guest nights per year and most guests stay in a caravan or cabin, but there are a lot of different (to say the least!) alternatives. For example, how about staying in a tree house, a stump, a cave village or a Lapp hut?
On a float
At Kraja Camping in Arjeplog, caravans and motorhomes can be taken out on a raft on Lake Hornavan (top photo). The raft has a hot tub, a barbecue and outdoor furniture, as well as a motor to make it easy to get around.
In a "bird's nest"
If you prefer a view, you can choose to stay in the "bird's nest" high up in the pine trees, overlooking the Ume River, at Granö Beckasin campsite. The tree houses have underfloor heating, shower, toilet and small kitchen, and you can order breakfast directly to the "nest".
In a stump
At Karlsborgs Camping in Västergötland, two huge stumps have been turned into well-equipped holiday homes. The largest stump was originally a magnificent tree, over 300 metres high and more than 5000 years old. Now the stumps have comfortable beds, a kitchenette and a patio overlooking Lake Vättern ...
In a cave city
Skånes Djurparks Camping in Höör has a hostel where guests live in caves. Cave accommodation may not sound very comfortable, but apparently there are comfortable beds and showers and toilets.
In a Lappish hut
At Saiva Camping in Lapland, you can try living in a traditional Lappish cabin. The cabins are beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Baksjön, have two beds and are heated by a wood-burning stove.
In a tree house
At Kneippbyn Resort outside Visby, you can stay in a tree house. The small balcony has a sea view and inside the house there are two single beds, an upper bed and a sleeping loft.

That thing with the raft was really cool and different!
We have a viewing of the house on Sunday/Monday so now we keep our fingers crossed that that piece of the puzzle will also be in place!
Live well!

Spontaneously I just think "hope the raft holds". Who wants to end up in zero degree water;-)
The idea is really good - a bit of a houseboat feel to the whole thing. I wonder if such rafts exist in the south as well.

What a great idea! It looks fantastic to sit outside in the middle of the lake and just enjoy!

I think it looks cosy, I think I know that there is a place in Dalsland also that you can drive the carriage / car on a similar raft! In Håverud we have seen such things a few years ago!

Lennart, hope the sales are going well! Keep your fingers crossed!

BP, haha no, one must hope that it is stable! Not least for the sake of the motorhome, I think! Houseboat seems cosy!
🙂
Pia, a boat is always cosy and we don't have one, so maybe this is the alternative...?
😉
Carina, yes, it does look cosy! Jaham, so maybe there are more!?

It looks like my concept, "Nothing is impossible, until proven otherwise". Enjoy!

Matts, great concept! I think we are following something similar...

That motorhome raft looked really cosy. Hope it's stable so the car doesn't slide off the whole thing if there are some waves.
