Camping is an excellent and an adventurous way to get closer to the archipelagos nature. Luleå Tourist Center provides the best camping tips.

To do before you camp in the archipelago

Do some research about the place you are going to visit. Check out maps and the weather forecast.

It is also good to pre-book your ticket to the archipelago ferries. Another tip is to go with kayak or book a boat taxi. Then it is possible to experience even more of our beautiful archipelago.

How do you know where it is allowed to camp?

In Sweden we have something called "Allemansrätt". It translates to "the right of public access". It means you have the right to camp pretty much anywhere and that it is common sense that applies *.

This is what the right of public access says: “You can camp for a few days in nature. Do not disturb the landowner or damage nature. It is not allowed to camp on land used for pasture, agriculture or planting and awoid places near by residential buildings.

Where do you go to the toilet and how do you take care of hygiene?

If you are camping on one of the islands where Luleå municipality has facilities, we recommend that you use the public privys. It is also possible to make a reservation on place to use the sauna facilities. On other islands where we do not have any facilities, you can wash yourself in the sea.

Are you a first time camper?

Then we recomend the island Kluntarna. There you have a coupple of nice camping spots one of them is at the far end of Storviken with access to both a barbecue area and public privys.

What to bring on a camping trip?

• Drinking water
• Food
• Proper camping equipment like; Tent, sleeping pad and bag
• Change of clothes
• Camping stove
• Knife, ax and matches (so that you can make a fire)
• Flashlight (for the part of the season when it is darker)
• Powerbank (so that you can charge your mobile phone)

* There are islands that are not suitable for camping and due to sensitive bird life it is forbidden to be on these islands from May 1st to the July 31th.

Optional service fee for campers

Camping in the archipelago is free. If you on the other hand would like to have access to firewood, the outhouses, recycling station, sauna or other facilities, we appreciate if you pay a optional service fee.
