Warm, wonderful winter camping!
Camping on Erik’s land was an absolute delight! Erik is a fantastic host—extremely communicative, accommodating, and a pleasure to chat with in person.
The campsite itself is a gem, nestled in a serene forest clearing. The centerpiece is a well-crafted setup: a spacious canvas tent stretched over a sturdy wooden frame, complete with a firewood stove, chimney, and fireproof flooring that doubles as insulation. Nearby, there’s a convenient outhouse and a fully equipped cooking station, stocked with pans, tools, and a small gas stove.
At night, the magic truly comes alive. The minimal light pollution allows for breathtaking views of the night sky, and the peaceful atmosphere is broken only by the occasional rustle of wildlife or the whisper of the wind—no road noise, just nature at its finest.
We camped in December, braving temperatures that dropped to -10°C. Thanks to the stove, we stayed incredibly cozy, even shedding extra layers as the warmth filled the tent.
The site is about a 2-3 minute hike from the parking area, which is manageable as long as you pack in bags instead of bulky totes.
This was an amazing experience, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend! Thank you, Erik, for such a memorable stay!
