Camping in Uppsala

The Uppsala region is a good fit for campers who like quiet countryside, lakes, and short trips into a historic city. Many campsites and simple lakeside areas lie just outside town, giving easy access to swimming spots, forest trails, and calm evening walks. Places around Fjällnora, Marielund, and along Lake Ekoln are popular because they’re easy to reach and offer a mix of nature and small local cafés or bathing piers. If you travel a bit farther north or east, the landscape becomes more rural with fields, forests, and small villages. These areas work well for low-key camping, short hikes, or cycling routes on quiet backroads. Uppsala itself is close by, so you can visit the cathedral, university quarter, or botanical garden and still return to a peaceful place to sleep. Overall, the region suits campers who enjoy simple outdoor time without being far from good services or interesting day trips.
