Otterbergets bad & camping in Sweden

*** New! ***
From 2024 you will find 8 charging places for your electric car at our campsite.

Kees and Lydia Donkersteeg are the proud owners of Otterberget Bad och Camping in the North West part of Tiveden. The campsite is located near the shores of lake Skagern and the fringes of the forest. The lake itself, is only a few minutes walk away along a wood-path, and offers you one of the magnificent long sandy beaches of lake Skagern. There is enough place to sunbathe on the green, to swim and enjoy other water sports. The lake and its shores are very child friendly, since the shores are shallow and sandy for long stretches. For hikers, marked trails are close to the campsite. If you are lucky you might have an encounter with one of the many animals who live around here or you find your first edible mushrooms or forest fruits.

Highlights

When you are looking for peace and quiet, culture and nature or water and beach, a stay at Otterbergets Bad och Camping will be the highlight of your holiday. Occupying an area of 131 square km and a shoreline which covers more than 100 kilometres, lake Skagern is one of the twenty largest lakes in Sweden. The lake is a perfect place to surf, canoe, motorboating and of course swimming. One of the few boat ramps of lake Skagern is very close to the campsite. Various lakes around the campsite offer superb opportunities for fishing. We also offer (together with our partners) special arrangement to explore the area by horse, bike ore foot.

Every year, we host various events on and near our campsite. Highlights are the international Melodeon Festival and the vinyl (record) market. Another reoccurring event in June is the traditional Midsommar fest, which we celebrate on the tenting field together with our neighbours. If you like to attend one of those events, please book early between two and three months prior to the event.

Sustainable

We are committed to run a social, sustainable, and eco-friendly business. We achieve this by: producing our own electricity using solar panels and wind power, water heatening by the newest technologies, led lights and separation of garbage. The entire profit of the collected plastic bottles and cans are donated to charity (in Sweden and abroad). Read more about our way of doing business sustainable at Hållbarhetsklivet.se.

Location

Otterbergets Bad och Camping is situated exactly halfway between Goteborg and Stockholm, approximately three kilometres away from the E20. The campsite is signposted on the E20 about 4 kilometres North of Hova. The campsite is a great spring board for visiting regional attractions like the National Park Tiveden, the Göta Canal, Södra Råda kyrkplats and Karlsborg Fortress

Our pet friendly campsite welcomes well behaved dogs on leads and their owners. In the unlikely event the dog cannot come with you on a trip, there is (after some consideration) a possibility to keep an eye on your dog.

We are delighted to welcome you on our beautiful campsite, between April 12 and November 4, 2024.
