1Mötesplats 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.
2Böda Sand, Löttorp, on the island of Öland
A complete holiday village with lots of activities and a 20-km white sandy beach with shallow water. A paradise for families with children. – It seems they missed the classification process for 2022. I can no longer see their classification result (they used to have five stars). But no doubt, this is one of Sweden’s best campsites, although not open all-year round. Often just called “Böda Camping”.
