Ounaskoski Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: We were there at the end of the season (20 - 22 September 2024) and stood with a car/roof tent + bus tent on the area for campers.

The site is clean and tidy, as are the sanitary facilities. Unfortunately, these are locked at night near the tents, you have the option of using the HC toilets or the toilets further up with a pin code. Not ideal for cold nights or rain.

There are also kitchenettes with seating near the tent area, these were usable, but the windows were already boarded up. Further up there was another room with chairs and tables and a pin code.

The restaurant was also already closed.
Due to the city location, the place between the railway/car bridge and the bridge of the main road is a bit noisy, especially when the wooden trains go to Rovaniemi.

The site was well occupied (caravans & tents), it would certainly be worth keeping it open longer, especially for campers. Many campsites in the vicinity close their gates on 31 August.

auto-translated: Smaller campsite in the centre of the town, beautifully situated on the riverbank, well-kept, pitches mostly on grass, friendly welcome. Centre and Arktikum within walking distance. Sanitary ok but too few in my opinion. Price €45 per night incl. electricity is not exactly cheap, probably due to Father Christmas.

auto-translated: The pitch is very narrow and looks more like a parking space. The distance of 4 metres indicated on the pitch plan when the awnings are extended is far from correct.

auto-translated: Everything is neat and tidy. The staff are also very friendly and speak quite good German

auto-translated: Nice and functional campsite. The reception was very friendly, we could choose a site ourselves.There are zones here: With and without electricity. We paid €40 for one night with electricity in September 2023. The price is probably due to the proximity to Father Christmas.
Shower and toilets are a bit older but clean. Showers are included in the price.

auto-translated: The stay was very relaxing. Friendly staff. You could reach some things well on foot. Facility well maintained, sanitary facilities clean. Kitchen for cooking and washing up clean and spacious.

auto-translated: Good usable campsite for visiting Santa. On the river to the city. Good pitches with and without electricity. (Generally short stay)
Facilities of good quality but very limited present. Overnight stay with electricity €42 pN

auto-translated: Large, spacious campground and site directly on the river. Opposite is Rovaniemi. Electricity costs an additional 6.50 euros, washing machine 6 euros and dryer 4 euros.

auto-translated: The perfect city campsite for visiting Rovaniemi. From here you can - except for Santa Park - walk all the sights.
In addition, Rovaniemi offers some restaurants and shopping.
The square itself is nicely laid out and you have the beautiful view over the river Kemijoki to Rovaniemi from almost every place. Especially at sunset a great sight.
Price - if you do not have a recognized camping card (ACSI is not recognized) - at the upper limit, but for us absolutely acceptable.

auto-translated: I do not understand the discussion about CP prices. There is an offer from the operator and it is up to the traveller to accept the offer or to look for another CP. For us the CP was top. Quiet despite the nearby road, good sanitary facilities, you can get around town quickly on foot. The operator speaks German and could give good tips. Our SP was appropriately large. The place itself is fun for 1-2 days stay.

auto-translated: a very beautifully situated place directly at the water; but wind susceptible and very loud from road, train and aircraft noise; tent meadow super and everything neatly maintained; large cooking room with separate cooking cells; shower and toilet clean but very narrow and small; many parking lots for mobile homes; cafe and shop available

auto-translated: A nice place directly at the river with a great view. If you are not too late, you can get one of the beautiful places on the riverbank. The walk to the city is about 20 min.

auto-translated: We were here for three days at the end of September. The WC facility is closed from 2400 to 0630. For 37,50 EUR per night an imposition. On request, very unfriendly answer: is not my problem and if it does not fit other place look for!!!!!!!!!!

auto-translated: In September the season is over. That's why there's plenty of room. The price of 37.50 incl. electricity for Campingcard holders, however, felt too expensive. Location and equipment is ok. One can get into nearby hiking areas and into the Santa Claus village without effort. The Arcticum is also recommendable.

auto-translated: A typical passer-by campsite. Not very atmospheric, but you will find the necessary facilities. The sanitary facilities are outdated, but clean and tidy.
The reception has long opening hours. The staff is friendly.
There is bread sold, but we found EUR 19.00 for 4 croissants, 4 wholegrain rolls and 8 mini ciabatta's quite expensive. It's handy that it's there, but convenience is expensive.

auto-translated: Great campsite to spend the night by the water. Edge of busier city, so more noisy than in the middle of nature. Facilities are fine. Spacious showers and toilets for camping concepts. Fresh bread at the shop, but pricey. Rovaniemi is not a beautiful city, but Santa's village is 9 km away.

auto-translated: Sanitary facilities and cooking facilities outdated and very dirty. But 35 euros the night clearly overpriced. Beautifully situated on the river opposite the city centre, but right next to a main road and a railway line. During the day quite loud, at night OK.

auto-translated: for a night on the transit completely in order with 32€ for two people with tent and car not quite cheap

auto-translated: We went by bike to the park of Santa Claus and there is also the Arctic Circle. About 9 km. by bike. In the vicinity is also a large amusement park with a Ferris wheel that you can see from afar.

auto-translated: The square is not far from the centre, within walking distance over two bridges. Very nice and helpful staff. Fresh bread will be served in the morning after registration. Sauna 1h12€. Pitch for caravan and family of 4 45€. Sanitary facilities clean and not far away everything.
