Kvarnsjö Camp & Hostel
BackAt Kvarnsjö Camp & Hostel, the tranquility of nature and consideration for the guest meet in a small, familiar accommodation that can really appeal to those looking for a relaxing weekend in the wilderness of Jämtland. The site is located high above the valley, surrounded by forest and grazing animals, which provides a scenic setting for both rest and adventurous days.
The accommodation was built around a simple but functional infrastructure, complemented by the friendly hosts of the guest section, Anna and Kjell.

Those who want to save energy and time on preparations will find amenities that suit different types of trips: clearly organized space for a camper and plenty of space for leisure activities in and around the area.
