Camping in Värmland is a great way to get close to the beautiful Swedish nature. Because Allemansrätten lets you discover the wilderness, camping in this area is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for both families and nature lovers. When you wake up and step out of your tent into the morning dew, the fresh air fills your breath. The lake seems strange because of the light haze that hangs over it. Sweden has beautiful scenery, and I’m so glad I can go there whenever I want!
The Enchantment of Allemänsrätten
The Allemansrätten, which is also called the Freedom to Roam, lets people set up their tents and explore the wild. But they need to be careful not to damage private land or the natural environment. Because of this one-of-a-kind Swedish rule, you are free to walk through the different landscapes in Värmland. When you sleep under the stars, you’ll feel like you’re one with nature.
Embracing the Camping Experience
Camping in Varmland is a thrilling activity that gets you closer to the beautiful outdoors in Sweden. You can find the right place to camp by a lake, in the middle of a forest, or in a grassy meadow. You can wake up to the peaceful sounds of nature if you do this. We call this “wild camping!” I’ve always loved this, and I was blown away when I learned how it works in Sweden.

Adventures in the Wild
Värmland has beautiful natural sights that make you want to discover and do many outdoor activities. Take a cool swim in one of the lakes with water that is so clear it will make you feel better. There are a lot of new things you can do in nature when you camp in Värmland.
If you go into the woods, you can find wild smultron (wild strawberries), lingonberries, blueberries, and raspberries. All of these fruits are delicious. Berry picking is one of my favorite Swedish customs. Another thing that Swedes like to do is break through the ice and jump in. They often go to a sauna after that! This is something I want to try but haven’t yet. Let’s see how the winter goes this year!
Kayaking/Canoeing in Serenity
Go on a kayak trip through the peaceful lakes and rivers of Värmland. The calm water reflects the lush green scenery, and if you swim slowly, you might see a moose. Kayaking in this peaceful paradise is a relaxing and energizing activity. Or have fun paddling a boat like your family does.
Canoe trips are something we do a lot, and every time they’re great. When you decide to go out on the water, it’s smart to be ready. Make sure you know where you’re going, and in some places, it’s best to go with a guide.
Glaskogen nature reserve is my favorite spot to hike and go canoeing. You won’t be able to get service there. So, it’s a great way to get away from city life for good. Värmland also has little houses and places to camp, which you can do here.
Hiking in the Wilderness
Värmland has a huge network of hiking trails that take you through beautiful natural scenery like lush forests, mighty mountains, and cascading rivers. Every trail leads to a different and beautiful view, which makes every walker feel good. Some of the trails in Värmland are written about in Hiking in Sweden. Värmland has some of my favorite places to visit. However, I guess I have a bias since I live in this town! You will have to camp in Värmland or another country on some hikes because they are so long.
Family-Friendly Adventures
Värmland is a great place for a family camping trip because kids can run around easily in the open meadows, build sandcastles on the beach, and be amazed by the stars at night. The area’s family-friendly vibe makes sure that young visitors have an unforgettable adventure. There are kids all over one of the lakes in the county every time we go down it. It’s great for our little one, and he gets to see old and new friends.
Take a walk on any of the trails as a family. You could also visit one of the national parks close to the county. You can fish, swim, watch birds, and boat in some places. I really think you should go to Arvika Stadsparken (city park) or Mariebergskogen. Both of these spots have playgrounds for kids, nature trails, places to watch birds, and lots of other fun things for the whole family to do!
The Best Camping Spots in Sweden
Even though Värmland has many great places to camp, there are a few that really stand out as the best. From the peaceful shores of Lake Vanern to the enchanting wildness of Glaskogen Nature Reserve, each place has its own special charm and a chance to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Outside of Sunne, in the Glaskogen nature reserve, are some of my favorite places to go. There are also some great places outside of Karlstad.
It’s also not hard to find camping spots in Värmland that are more out of the way. You might need to go deeper into the bush or somewhere with fewer people. With so much nature to choose from, it’s simple to find peace and quiet.
Camping in Värmland is a Must!
Once you go camping in Värmland, you’ll never forget it.

Get your camping stuff ready, enjoy the freedom of Allemansratten, and go on an adventure in the wilds of Värmland.
Adventures in Sweden
There are a lot of fun things to do outside in Värmland, and there are great places to camp. Värmland Moose Park is one place where you can see moose.
