Always a pleasure to be here. If you like to see natures beauty, but don't feel like doing that without a toilet or shower this is the place to be. Nice marked hikes, a campsite in the middle of it with electric and non electric places in de middel of the woods. The nicest little cafe Carl to start or end your hikes. And also a goes option to do a day or few days canooing or hiking with soms small cabins and shelters along the way. If you go a few days you will be without a shower, but there is a dry toilet at every cabin and shelter.
I have been here lots of times and keep coming back. Just getting out of all the noise, making a campfire and enjoy nature.
A little advice is to lock up your food well enough when you go camping. You are in the woods so there are some animals (tiny mice and birds) that you will bring a visit if you dont. (Everytime I packed it away I never had any visits. Last time we had a mouse for two nights but he didn t come back after we packed...

I would love to give this place 5 stars, but I can only give it one because of all the people coming here and doing their dishes in the lake, spitting (when brushing their teeth) in the lake and washing their bodies with soap in the lake. All of them - I'm sure - are coming here to enjoy nature, but only to mess things up. When using soap - please use biodegradeable soap - do it on the ground and as far away from water as possible, preferably 200 meters away, even if it is biodegradeable. When you're spitting while brushing your teeth, spit into the fireplace. Yeah it's nasty, but maybe that will show you how much you actually "pollute" when doing this. Use a solar shower bag and hang it from a tree and wash your body on land, keeping the soap away from the water. It's the bacteria in the soil that breaks down the soap etc.
This is a very beautiful place, but it won't continue to be this beautiful if you do not act responsibly.

What a fantastic piece of nature. It is right there on the same level as the Swedish National Parks. Depending on the route you take to get there, adventure already starts on the road (gravel). You get a 15km introduction to Glaskogen.
The centre of the park is Lenungshammar. The you also find the campsite. The campsite is absolutely fantastic. Specious and levelled places, but more important, the are disperced in a forest. So even with a camper you get a good adventurous vibe. All places are close to the lake. Because of this spacious camping, the sanitary block is a good walk, but that is part of the charm.
There are 300km of hiking trails. We only got to 10km, but they we fantastic. You can also make multiday hikes or canoo-trips.
A must go! And for us a...
