Camping in the islands

Sälstationen glamping tittar ut. ur tält.

Waking up to the sound of birds and unzipping your tent to a sunrise is perhaps the best way to experience the archipelago. Whether you’re wild camping or looking for a more luxurious glamping experience, there are plenty of places to explore.

In most areas, the "Allemansrätten" - or right of public access applies, meaning you can camp almost anywhere for a few days – as long as you don’t disturb animals, landowners, or damage nature. It's a given that you shouldn’t set up your tent close to residential houses or on grazing land, but it's also important to know that some islands are nature reserves, where camping is prohibited. The rules are usually indicated by signs on site, but it. could also be a good idea to check where camping is allowed before you go.

A beautiful pine forest, a shallow sandy beach, or a smooth rock – where do you prefer to settle down? Here are some camping spots to visit in the Stockholm archipelago.
