Trollforsen camping

Trollforsen Camping in the Pite River is truly a wild gem to explore. In addition to the wilderness life and everything that goes with it, you'll also find an open-air swimming pool with a water slide for the kids here. The campsite also has a boat dock, a playground, and canoe and boat hire.

The on-site barbecue hut ensures all the magical barbecue evenings that come with a visit to a campsite.

Another thing that makes many people visit the campsite is the fishing. The Pite River offers a fabulous environment with a very varied fishing in flowing water. Salmon, grayling, trout, whitefish, pike and perch live and thrive here. Apart from the fact that you need a fishing licence to fish here, it's good to know that you can only catch one grayling or trout per fisherman. The regulations are in place to ensure that the fish continue to grow and continue to raise the quality of fishing in Trollforsen. But it is mainly salmon fishing that is very popular here. Above all because the chance of catching here is greater than in most known salmon rivers in the country.

The Pite River is not only Norrbotten's biggest tourist destination, but also one of Sweden's four national rivers that has not been developed for hydropower. The river has had great historical significance and was a very active place during the 19th and early 20th centuries. There are many historical remains to explore here.

If you want to explore the area more deeply, you can either do it by boat on water or by bike on land. There are also fine hiking trails that go both upstream and downstream along the roaring rapids and the small islands. The surroundings are full of ancient forest, rich wildlife and lots of berries and mushrooms. In short, wilderness experiences and intimate moments with nature you will carry with you all your life.

The campsite's location means that you have bright summer evenings mixed with stars and northern lights depending on when in the year you choose to travel here. There are no distracting lights here so you can easily see the Pole Star, Orion and the Big Dipper twinkling in all their mighty glory here.

If you want to enhance the experience further, you can go skiing in the moonlight in winter and later warm up in the Trollforsen sauna.
