Holiday villages, holiday parks, and resort villages are mostly called “stugby” or “fritidsby” in Swedish. Sometimes they are affiliated with a hotel, sometimes with a campsite. Some of these villages/parks are completely independent.
Perfect for families with children
Generally these villages/parks are perfect for families with children. Many sites have playgrounds, minigolf courses, shops, restaurants, canoe rentals and other facilities. Some offer activites such as horse riding, hiking, or treasure hunts.
Holiday parks are also convenient when two families want to go on a holiday together.
