A camping trip to Finland may not entice those who seek glitzy cities, hot nightlife or absorbing culture. The country’s star attractions are its myriad of lakes and forests, its untouched northern wilderness and its nature. The Finnish people may not be noted for their boisterous gregarious nature, as compared to the Italians for example, but the welcome afforded to all guests is one of quiet charm.
No one can do anything but relax and enjoy such surroundings—when you take that sauna, it tops off the experience. If you are one of those campers who delights in finding pristine wilderness, where the only distraction is the rustle of the wind through the pine trees, or the ripple of water after a fish has poked up from the depths below, then head to Finland. And talking of fish, there are plenty of places for angling campers, and lots of time to engage with the rural lake dwellers of the country.
But we dare not forget that Finland has one major city, for Helsinki has in fact all the attributes that we chose to ignore above. In Helsinki the camper can let his hair down and join the partying throngs at the weekend, when it’s the equal of any lively city in Europe. Despite its conservative side, Finland has an equally rebellious streak that the visitor may be surprised to encounter.So camping in finland will be a wonderful different experience.
