Dreaming of falling asleep under a starry sky and waking up to birdsong and a salty sea breeze?

Brewing coffee on a camping stove, morning swims from smooth rocks. You don’t need to travel far from the city to experience that wonderful sense of freedom – the Stockholm archipelago offers plenty of amazing places to pitch your tent.

5 quick tips:

1. Bring insect repellent

Even in spring and autumn, mosquitoes can mess with your sleep.

2. Keep an eye on the weather

Check the forecast and dress accordingly. The weather in the archipelago can change quickly, so pack clothes for both warm and chilly conditions.

3. Camp where it’s allowed

Some islands are nature reserves or private land where animals graze or crops are grown – always make sure you're pitching your tent in a legal and suitable area.

5. Find your perfect camping spot

Whether you’re after luxurious glamping or a wild tenting adventure, there are islands and campsites for every kind of camper - and you will find them here.
