November 20th, 2010: New building project in the autumn
We are building during the off season before Christmas! Our skilled craftsmen enlarge two cottages close to the forest. Both houses will have two separate bedrooms and a bathroom. The cabins are specially adapted for wheelchair users and visually impaired guests. We chose an environmentally friendly method of construction and insulated with up to 40 cm insulation, changed to tree-glass windows and used environmentally friendly building materials. To create a new seasonal site, we moved about 40 car trailers with sand and topsoil. The site is situated close to the woods and near the sauna.

August 20th, 2010: Summer
This summer we had a record number of guests from more than 15 nations in place.
They came e.g. from Thailand, Russia, Australia and New Zealand.
One couple came all the way from Moscow on their motorcycles!
Our new beaver was a success - we saw plenty of beavers and bats in the great outdoors and enjoyed the total silence on the lake.
In July, we had a quite unusual visit from a moose cow with her two calves who wandered around at the campsite - not shy att all.
An inspection by the assocoation 'Keep Sweden Tidy' was a great pleasure for us:
In his inspection report the inspector wrote that our environmental work is exemplary for other campsites in Sweden -
we are particularly delighted and will try to become even better in the future.
June 9th, 2010: Gourmet meal
Evening sun had just begun its journey along the horizon while some exited and hungry people were to experience something very special.
Incredibly good scents had begun to spread over the campsite, a wonderful gourmet meal was waiting.
The meal consisted of: veal steak with asparagus and mushroom sauce and fresh potatoes.
As dessert was served pancakes with cream and homemade orange jam.
The cooks, a group of fishermen from Germany, had indeed shown which delicacies you can cook in an ordinary camping cabin.

June 6th, 2010: Beaver and fishing trips
Slowly our boat glides along the shores of the lake, while I am enjoying the calm and quiet nature.
Suddenly, the guide points on a small spot along the lake, a beaver head sticking up above the surface.
It swims slowly towards us, totally silently gliding over the surface, the with a sudden splash it disappears below the surface.
Fascinated by the moment I can understand that this year's beaversafaries have been a success.
Even this year's fishing tours have given many good results. This summer's most strange caught was a rubber boot from the 50's. (author: 'camping reporter')
June 1st, 2010: New this year
A spring filled with work lies behind us. We've tried to make our camp even more attractive.
Two new cottages were bought, we totally renovated another cabin.
Since our pool was partially destroyed by the winter's thick ice we changed one of the pool walls.
Dorothee worked much to improve the camping's gardens.
Frank took the chance and bought a new boat to our guided fishing trips and beaver safaries.
May 20th, 2010: Trip to Scotland

This year, we had many seasonal guests on our camping. We had real winter weather with both cold and snow as well as many sunny days. The skiing track between our camping and Hovfjället was open until the end of march - we prepared a 5,5 km track in the nature reserve. Alpine skiing on Hovfjället was wonderful all the time from christmas to the Easer holidays in april. Ice fishing on almost 1 m thick ice was relaxing and we had good success.
January 1st 2010: New Years party
Our New Years party 2009 / 2010 was wonderful despite of the cold (-30 degrees) outside. We celebrated together with our seasonal campers and the cabin guests.
