Camp Viking
BackCamp Viking is a small but well-maintained campsite located by Lake Revsundssjön in Gällö, Jämtland. Run as a family-owned destination where guests are greeted by friendly staff, well-maintained facilities and a range of options that suit both families and small groups looking for a close-to-nature experience with comfort.
Pros : The extensive service building and shower facilities are described as fresh and well-maintained, which is often a deciding factor for guests who need amenities on holiday. Camp Viking also offers access to water and latrine emptying for caravans, as well as a beach environment by the lake that allows for swimming and short excursions in a relaxing environment. There is also a selection of cabins and pitches for caravan/motorhome camping with electricity, which provides flexibility for different travel plans.
According to several visitors, there is also a nice restaurant/bio-style terrace environment by the lake and a local selection of Belgian beer in the restaurant - details that are often mentioned as positive in reviews and that contribute to a holistic experience for those who want to combine nature experiences with good food.
Close to nature and activities : the campsite's proximity to the lake means that swimming and water sports can be natural elements of the stay. The staff's commitment and the warm welcome that recurs in several user reviews contribute to a feeling of security and homeliness that is suitable for families and couples looking for quieter environments.
Cons : A recurring theme in external reviews is the issue of opening hours and accessibility to certain dining establishments, such as restaurant opening hours, which do not always coincide with guests' plans. Some guests have also mentioned that the proximity to road traffic can cause some noise disturbance, especially at certain points along the road. Potential competition in the region means that the price picture and availability of cabins or accommodation can vary between high and low season, which can affect how the visit is experienced depending on the destination and time of day.
Camp Viking emphasizes its focus on family-friendliness and close-to-nature accommodation, but the possibility of variation in equipment and facilities may be crucial for some guests looking for a more exclusive or varied offer during longer stays. For those who prioritize continuous bar/restaurant opening or more extensive leisure facilities, it may be worth comparing with similar facilities in the Jämtland region.
All in all, Camp Viking is an attractive choice for those who want to combine lake views, practical camping facilities and a friendly atmosphere with proximity to nature. For potential guests looking for a relaxed holiday near the water, in a completely traditional camping environment, Camp Viking could be a strong candidate.
The Gällö area offers several other scenic experiences and hiking trails nearby, making a stay at Camp Viking a starting point for day trips and longer nature activities. This way, guests can get great value for money by combining accommodation with exploring the Jämtland nature.
