Laxsjöns Camping & Friluftsgård

Laxsjöns Camping & Outdoor Centre is a campsite beautifully situated on a peninsula in Lake Laxsjön, in the northern part of Västra Götaland. Our campsite offers all types of camping pitches. With us you are free to choose whether you wish to stay at the edge of the forest, in a more open area, or with a view of the lake. The campsite also offers cabins and a hostel.

The cabins are equipped for self-catering, i.e. refrigerator, stove/hob and kitchen utensils for the number of persons for which the cabin is intended. In the cabins where water/toilet/shower is not available, guests make use of the adjacent service building.

The service building offers access to a laundry room, showers and toilets, baby changing room, accessible toilet, kitchen and TV.

With Laxsjön as your nearest neighbour, you can easily walk down to the lake and swim, fish or why not rent a canoe, SUP, fishing kayak or rowing boat from us? Our canoe fleet consists of Tapper, Inkas and Hasslek canoes. We also have rowing boats that can be hired with or without an outboard motor.

As a nice bonus, with our unique geographical location in the middle of the Dalsland Canal (Upperudsälven), we can offer some of Europe's best paddling and fishing waters. The campsite also has a guest harbour with a jetty, electricity and fresh water.

There is also plenty of space if you want to play cube, throw some frisbee or whatever you want to do! Inside the campsite you'll also find mini golf, a swimming area, bike park, barbecue area, activity centre, restaurant and a pub. Outside the campsite you can enjoy beautiful cycling and hiking trails, more fishing waters and visit all the small towns / cities where each has its unique history and cultural heritage.

Several cycle paths pass right outside the campsite and you can also hop on the rail bus that passes by. As an example, we can highly recommend a day trip to Dalslands Aktiviteter which has experiences for all ages! There is a café, restaurant, game shop, moose park, high ropes course, zipline park, gold panning, pony rides and rides on big horses.

If you want an experience with nature more involved, you can visit Sörknatten nature reserve, which is about 25 km from the campsite. There is, among other things, a well-marked hiking trail with several peaks with fantastic views of the reserve. The campsite is surrounded by lakes and nature in all directions, and there are plenty of things and activities to indulge in in nature and among all the nearby small towns.

For all the information you could possibly want about nature reserves, national parks, excursion sites and more, you can find it on the Länsstyrlesen Västra Götaland website. But feel free to ask us too! We have a good overview of the local area and all the attractions and hidden gems. We guarantee you unforgettable memories after your visit with us.

The nearest major city is Åmål which is about 41 km from the campsite
