Wildlife camping in Glaskogen Nature Reserve

Glaskogens Camping is one of few wildlife camps in Sweden. Thanks to the rich vegetation there is a certain amount of privacy and seclusion. Yet the neighbours are never too far away so you can easily get the best of both worlds!

The camping

The camp site is situated in Lenungshammar in the heart of Glaskogen Nature Reserve and offers pitches for caravans, camping cars and a tent meadow. Apart from the camping there is an information centre, small shop, café, sauna, shower, telephone and sanitaries in the area. There is also a possibility to rent a canoe, kayak or boat. For more information and opening hours: Glaskogen website.

Please be aware that the reserve does not allow its guests to stay in caravans or camping cars in other places in the area except for the campsite and at the 16 RV sites.

Mobile home and caravan

Those who wish to overnight with their camping car or caravan will get a complete camping experience above the ordinary. The pitches in the woods are secluded and hidden by the woodgroves. Some of the guests might even have the luxury of having the lake on their doorstep. All 63 of the pitches are equipped with electricity and an own barbeque pit.

Tent

The area for tents has enough space for 50 tents and is close to the information centre in Lenungshammar: It is beautifully placed close to a small pond and close to the lakes Övre Gla and Stora Gla. There are tent areas available for larger groups that must, however, be booked in advance.

Cabin

Are tenting and caravans not for you? Then choose between the two different kinds of cabins; there are simpler camping cabins or self service cabins. There are 4 self service cabins and three camping cabins that can fit four and six people. Read more and book: Glaskogen website.

There are some rest cabins placed in the Glaskogen Nature Reserve where it is free to stay overnight with the Glaskogen card.

Rv-site

There are some RV sites in the area, beautifully located on different spots in the Glaskogen Nature Reserve. The sites are simple and without any service. For information and booking: Glaskogens homepageNote that it’s only allowed to camp at these RV sites or at Glaskogen camping since all other camping for RV and caravan is prohibited within the nature reserve.

In the forest

At the camp site you are staying in the middle of a nature forest. Just put on your hiking shoes and explore the beautiful nature!
