Wilderness camp

Nordic Woods is located on the edge of the wilderness, near Åsnen National Park in southern Sweden. From your tipi, you can enjoy views of the Swedish forests, where you can explore the nature of Sweden by taking a short hike across the road. On the other side, you can gaze out over a vast lake, where you can explore a whole network of lakes and rivers by canoe.

In each tent, there are both single and double beds, with corresponding duvets. If you are using the double bed, please bring a mattress cover for 180 x 200 and a duvet cover for 200 x 200. If you are using a single bed, please bring bed linen for 90 x 180.

Campfire

At Nordic Woods, you can enjoy a cozy fire at your accommodation. You will receive 1 complimentary bag of firewood for this purpose. The rest can be easily purchased from the Nordic Woods team. Building a campfire is allowed unless there is a fire ban in effect in Sweden. The team will keep you informed about this.

Nature and camping rules

We are located in the middle of the forest and there are certain rules and codes of conduct here. One of the most well-known is perhaps leave nothing but footprints, which means that you should not leave any belongings or trash behind in the forest or on the premises. Additionally, amplified music is not allowed. However, a small portable speaker is usually allowed until 22:00. Acoustic instruments, such as a guitar, are also permitted.

After 23:00, it should be quiet around the accommodations so that everyone can enjoy a good night's sleep. We have a nearby covered campfire area where you can sit and chat until later.

Pets

Pets are welcome at Nordic Woods, as long as they are well-behaved! The owner is responsible for cleaning up after their pets (dogs). Furthermore, animals must be kept on a leash due to the presence of wildlife and birds.

CO2 compensation

The planet offers us so much beauty to admire, but if we want to continue enjoying it for a long time, we must protect it more than ever today. In the booking form, you have the option to easily and reliably offset the CO2 emissions of your trip through Greentripper.

Your contribution will be used through a climate project to plant enough trees that will convert the equivalent of your CO2 emissions into oxygen. Additionally, the project supports the protection of 785,000 hectares of beautiful forests and the wildlife that inhabits them. Official carbon credit certificates documenting your offset will be issued on a monthly basis.

Caving

Crawl through narrow passages in the caves and discover the most beautiful spots in nature. Caving is an extraordinary activity that you don't experience every day! Caving is available for children from the age of 7. However, you shouldn't be too easily scared, as it can be quite thrilling!

Long sunset

Nordic Woods is located closer to the North Pole, which means that daylight lasts much longer. While a sunset to the south is a brief experience, at Nordic Woods you can sometimes enjoy the most beautiful colors for up to 4 hours during sunset. The sun won't set until around midnight.

Electricity and Sanitation

The tipis are equipped with electricity and have several power outlets, so you can charge your mobile phone, for example.

On the Nordic Woods site, you will find a simple sanitary block with showers and toilets within short walking distance from the accommodations. In peak season, the hot water supply may be limited, so it's best to shower at different times.

Solo Travelers

Unfortunately, it is not possible to book Nordic Woods for just one person. However, there is a Whatsapp group for solo travelers where you can meet other people and form duos or a group with other solo travelers. Click here to join the Whatsapp group.

Storgatan road

Between the Nordic Woods site and the forests lies the Storgatan road. You may hear it during the night. Therefore, we recommend light sleepers to bring earplugs.
