The 8 best Campgrounds in Kiruna, Sweden

April 28, 2023 Darwin Bolte

There is much to do in Kiruna for both outdoor adventure seekers and city dwellers alike. Given its close proximity to the Arctic Circle, Kiruna is a winter wonderland for skiing, snowboarding, dogsledding, ice fishing and snowmobile jumping. Its location also means nonstop sunlight in June and July and easy access to Kebnekaise, the highest mountain in Sweden. Kiruna Kyrka, the city's old church, is one of the largest wooden buildings in Sweden.

Snowmobile tour in beautiful surroundings

Reviewed By Hilde S

We ordered snowmobile tour online for Camp Alta. We stayed at Camp Ripan, but we were picked up and had free transport to Camp Alta. We were a party of four and had 2 snowmobiles for a day. Cassie was our wonderful guide. We drove around on a nearby frozen lake, through a forrest, and to the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi. We had 3 hours at the Icehotel on our own, which was amazing. Our boys (both 14 years old also loved this tour, it was the highlight of everything, they said when we came home) What a beautiful landscape and surroundings. So idyllic. Maybe next time we come to Kiruna we’ll stay at Camp Alta, it look so cosy there. Thank you so much for making this day magical for us!

Aurora Camp Kurravaara

Aurora Camp is wonderfully located at the Torne River, 12 km from the city of Kiruna. You can book your own cottage, simple rooms in the main building or wilderness suite. We arrange all kinds of tours in both summer and winter. You can also rent a canoe or mountain biking in the summer and skiing or snowshoeing in the winter. But missed especially not our dog sledding and snowmobile tours. Transfer to the camp and from the camp can be booked with us for 350 SEK/car, one way.

Nature at its ultimate

Reviewed By SubhadeepDas83

The camp is situated around 25 kms from Kiruna in the midst of nature. There is forest around and is definitely a must place for a nature lover. The entry to the camp is a bit tricky (though you have sign board) from the highway. I was there in the coldest time of the winter but I think summer will be beautiful as well. It is just beside the river, which was completely frozen and we viewed the northern lights just from the room through the glass (though the intensity was very less). Most important point for this camp, please travel with all your necessary item (food, drinks etc) as there is nothing nearby.

Reindeer Lodge

A cosy cabin accommodation in Sámi design nestled in the forest outside Jukkasjärvi in Kiruna Swedish Lapland. Arctic wildlife and reindeer are the natural residents next door during winter and if one is fortunate the northern lights will give a glorious display. During summer the midnight sun will brighten up day and night. Breakfast is included in stay. Joint self-catering facility for other meals. Easy to add activities like reindeer sledding or Sámi storytelling night; or book a package.

Comfort and beauty

Reviewed By AdventureGirlTx

We loved staying at the Reindeer lodge! The cottage was idyllic with a wood stove to keep warm, and access to another log cabin for food preparation and separate buildings for showers and bathrooms. Falling asleep to the crackling of the wood fire, just delightful. The rooms also include electric heaters and a fridge so you will always be warm. A lovely breakfast was available each morning, along with very friendly and helpful staff. We really enjoyed being able to use the cooking facilities ourselves in the evening. The facilities are run by Nutti Sámi Siida, a family run Sami company who organize experiences based on Sámi culture. They offer this special lodging close to reindeer so there are opportunities to interact with these lovely animals. During the reindeer encounter we learned about the relationship between the reindeer and the Sámi people, were able to feed the reindeer and also experience reindeer sled racing. We really enjoyed learning about Sami culture with Sara our guide while she prepared a traditional meal of flat bread, fried reindeer meat and lingon berries. It was a fun experience and we really enjoyed getting to know Sara and hearing her stories. I would definitely stay at the Reindeer lodge again and highly recommend it to others!

Enoks i Laddjujavri

Top notch lodging run by the locals

Reviewed By Resortbabe

The lodging was located deep in the wilderness. You have to take a snowmobile to get from the car park to the lodging. The lodging was run by a Sami family - local people. It was end of winter season when we visited, so we were the only guest. We had a great guided tour by the owner , and he was very sociable and knowledgeable with great hospitality. He worked as a cook before- so the dinner was delicious as well. The sauna was already heated before our arrival and it was the best sauna experience we had. The cabin we stayed in- was neat and clean and well heated. Love it !

Camp Caroli

Adventure winter camp ouside Kiruna with guided snowmobile tours, moosesafari, dogsled, northern lights tours and much more.

Tour

Reviewed By dlE9128OA

We got a Northern Lights tour, which was an absolute disappointment. Be prepared to waste 250 euros (two people), in case, you don't see polar lights and drive around for 4-5 hours. Camp Caroli shall reconsider charging customers full price for nothing, and, LET THEM KNOW all details IN ADVANCE. Paying only for gas expenses would be acceptable. Also, there was no lodge with drinks mentioned in the ad. If you have a car, download special apps - off to go.

...and prepare for a once in a life time experience. Johan is as genuine and down to earth as you can get. He let's his cooking and passion do the talking, but at the same time, he is very social and educating during the dinner. The food was outstanding and the icing on the cake for us, was the amazing northern lights that danced for us after the dinner. We will forever remember that night i February. An amazing experience!You just have to go!
