Sweden’s best campsites 2023 – 16 five-star campsites

Here comes a list of Sweden’s best campsites 2023, from the south to the north. All campsites have five stars. 14 of the 16 campsites are members of SCR, the National Swedish Camping Association. During the summer season, all sites have at least a pool, restaurant and shop. They also offer activities for children and adults.

13 of the 16 campsites are open all year round. Only Pite Havsbad and the campsites on Öland and Gotland close for the winter.

Book a camping hut at these campsites

If you don’t want to stay in a caravan/motorhome/tent on these campsites, but in a camping hut, we recommend the second link in each case. There you can easily book with best price guarantee. These offers come from Booking.com, which has a much simpler, English-language booking dialogue and often more generous cancellation rules than the campsites themselves:

1. Mötesplats Borstahusen, Landskrona, Skåne

Near the sea and a golf course. This campsite is also ideal if you want to visit the little island of Ven. 60 cottages and holiday homes to choose from. This is both a campsite and a holiday resort (with spa, golf, restaurant, shop). Open all-year round and popular in winter for Christmas and New Year.
