SharePlanning your summer motorhome trip
We, like many others, had planned to travel with the motorhome in Europe this summer. We have long since stopped hoping for that and instead started hoping for a trip in Sweden. Now, following the recent announcement that the travel restrictions within Sweden can remain over the summer, you don't even know if you dare to plan this.
We still hope to be able to travel around Sweden with the motorhome this summer and don't think it sounds unrealistic that it could be possible. However, we dare to not take it for granted so we won't make any big plans. Not yet anyway. The good thing about a motorhome is that you don't have to plan so far in advance!
By motorhome in Sweden
Whether we can make exciting excursions to the north and south of the country, or whether we have to stay in the county, there will be motorhomes in Sweden this summer. One thing we wonder is, how full will it be on campsites and pitches, now that everyone is home in Sweden?
At least the Swedish camping industry shouldn't have to go bad this summer, and there's always something to celebrate in this misery. But will there be room? And how crowded will people think it's ok to stand? What do you think?
Pitches and campsites in Sweden
You may need to be a little prepared to scout out good campsites in Sweden this summer. There are lots of different lists, directories and apps. When we are abroad, the app CamperContact is our favourite, but in Sweden we have sometimes combined it with other lists and sites. Here are some places where you can find Swedish campsites and pitches:
- FREEDOMtravel.se has a list of campsites and pitches in Sweden that we have tried ourselves. We list them from north to south.
- Hollistay.com is a site where you can also book campsites. There are 2300 campsites throughout the Nordic region.
- Husbilhusvagn.se has a digital map with 1016 campsites and 528 pitches in Sweden.
- Husbil.se has an online database of caravan and motorhome sites in Sweden. Search by keyword or by map.
- Husbilsklubben.se has an online map of caravan sites that can be used by paying members.
- Caravan and camping.se has a list of 578 independent campsites, 615 pitches and 305 rest areas in Sweden. Available online or can be ordered as a catalogue for SEK 319.
- CamperContact.com is both an app and an online map of campsites, pitches and rest areas across Europe. The full version of the app costs around €60. You can test a limited version free of charge.
- Camping.se has a large catalogue of all Swedish campsites affiliated to SCR Svensk Camping. The list is available online, as an app, as a web catalogue or can be ordered as a physical catalogue for SEK 99.
- Rest & Camp is an app where you can find rest areas, pitches and campsites.
Do you have any other good tips for finding pitches and campsites in Sweden?

In addition to Campercontact, which I also connect to the GPS, I use the Ställplatser app, which is increasing the number of countries all the time.

If we can't travel abroad then foreign tourists can't come here either, I think there will be as much pressure on the places as in corona.
Greetings Bosse.

Right now we have not closed the borders with the EU, only with countries outside the EU. EU citizens may also be restricted by quarantine rules, etc. But who knows, we'll see!

Husbilsklubben.se is linked to members. But a good forum to join and cheap.

What apps and lists of places to stay are available. Some we use and some in your list we will look at.
We also use the park4night app.

Yes, there is a lot to choose from. Thanks for the tips! 🙂

Now that the borders are closed, it also means that Germany, Denmark, Finland and Norway can holiday in their home countries, so with only Swedes staying at home, the campsites should be sparser than in a "normal" summer - I think!

Helena says:
After all, our borders are not closed to the EU. But on the other hand, if they have quarantine rules for coming back, they might not want to travel? We'll see what happens this summer.

Anna / boihusbil.se says:
Yes, it will be crowded this summer, especially if Germans and Danes come too. We don't have many plans for the summer yet, but we like to stay in the archipelago outside Gothenburg. Maybe our paths can finally cross this summer? 😀 I also want to mention our map with all the settlements we visited in Sweden, with comments and evaluation for each place. https://boihusbil.se/kartor/

Husbilskompisar.se has, in addition to the Forum, a site map, emptying stations map and service for motorhomes map.
All at no cost.

We mostly use apps and in Sweden we look at "Stellplatz" and "Park4Night" the most. These also work in Europe, but there we also have some other apps that we look at.
