Camping in Stockholm

The Stockholm region is easy to explore if you enjoy camping close to both nature and city life. Many travelers stay near the water, where lakes, bays, and small harbors offer simple places to park a camper or set up a tent. Around Nacka, Värmdö, and Tyresö you’ll find campsites and quiet forest areas with short trails, swimming spots, and good access to the archipelago ferries. If you move a bit farther out, the islands east of Stockholm provide a slower pace. Some islands have small family-run campsites, while others allow low-key wild-style camping in designated areas. Days often alternate between walking in the woods, swimming from rocky shorelines, and visiting small cafés or village harbors. Stockholm’s city center is still easy to reach by bus, ferry, or commuter train, so you can combine a bit of culture with peaceful evenings by the water. It’s a region that works well for campers who want nature without feeling far from services or things to do.
