How to Plan and Book Campervan Hire in Sweden: Step by Step Guide

Swedish landscapes are breathtaking, and they should be taken full advantage of. That’s why many travelers prefer a road trip in Sweden, exploring its charming countryside and stunning beaches. And what better way to do this than by hiring a campervan? A campervan enables you to travel comfortably from one location to another, always having your home on wheels at your disposal.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to plan and book campervan hire in Sweden:

Step 1: Research the Rental Companies

The first step is to research rental companies that offer campervans in Sweden. You can do this through online searches or by asking for recommendations from friends and family members who’ve had similar experiences. Narrow down your list based on factors such as the price range, vehicle condition, reviews, company policies, etc.

Step 2: Choose Your Campervan Type

Once you have a list of potential rental companies, the second step is to choose the type of campervan that suits your needs. Consider factors like size, amenities such as kitchen facilities or showers/toilets onboard (if needed), fuel consumption rates for each vehicle type (as it will impact cost), and whether you’ll need an automatic or manual transmission.

Step 3: Plan Your Route and Stops

Before booking your campervan hire package in Sweden, make sure you plan out your route with requisite stops along the way. Remember that Sweden is vast; hence with proper preparation comes ease rather than struggle during transit due to any unexpected impediments. Exploring the national parks or seeking unique boutiques within towns may require coordinating accommodation options too; hence it’s essential to understand your itinerary before making such bookings.

Step 4: Book Your Preferred Campervan

After choosing the appropriate company handling rentals alongside a suitable vehicle type that fits within budgetary constraints and catering requirements – proceed towards booking! Ensure you make reservations well ahead of the travel dates as availability tends to vary based on certain seasons that may impact prices.

Step 5: Purchase Additional Extras

While booking your Campervan hire package, take time to inquire with the Rental Company on additional extras available for purchase. These may include extended insurance coverage or options such as add-ons like a GPS system or outdoor hiking gear to infuse ease upon arrival at stops within national parks.

Step 6: Familiarize Yourself with the Vehicle

Before setting off on your Swedish adventure, it is essential to carry out diligent checks once acquisition of the campervan has been confirmed fully. Ensure identification documents – drivers licenses and passports- have been gathered and verified upon collection next to confirming all features function appropriately and the necessary driving laws applicable in Sweden

In conclusion, campervan rental in Sweden is a wonderful way to explore beautiful landscapes whilst excitingly seeking new discoveries en route. Our guide on how best to plan , book and prepare shall make any road trip comfortable and smooth sailing!

The Top 5 Must-Know Facts About Campervan Hire in Sweden

Traveling by road can be an exciting and adventurous way to explore a new country, and campervan hire offers a unique way to do just that. In Sweden, campervan rental is a popular option among those looking to experience the beauty of the country’s natural landscapes while traveling at their own pace. If you’re planning on renting a campervan in Sweden, here are five must-know facts that will help you make the most of your trip.

1. The Law When it comes to driving a motorhome or campervan on Swedish roads, there are some important rules and regulations you’ll need to adhere to. For example, if your vehicle weighs more than 3.5 tons, you’ll need to display a warning sign indicating that fact on the back. Additionally, using mobile phones while driving is prohibited and carrying snow chains during winter months is mandatory.

2. Wild Camping One of the major benefits of traveling in a campervan is the ability to park up almost anywhere for the night without having to worry about finding accommodation. In Sweden, wild camping (camping outside designated campsites) is allowed as long as you follow certain guidelines such as not staying for more than 24 hours at one location and leaving no trace behind.

3. Weather Conditions Sweden has varying weather conditions throughout the year so it’s important to be prepared when traveling in your campervan depending on what time of year it is. Winters are cold with heavy snowfalls in some areas which means proper clothing and equipment are essential if you’re planning on camping during this time. Summer months offer long sunny days but temperatures can still drop significantly at night so warm bedding should also be included.

4. Supplies When planning your campervan adventure in Sweden it’s important not to forget items such as mosquito repellant (even midge repellent if heading towards Lapland), sun screen protection and drinking water stocks. Many campsites throughout Sweden allow visitors to fill up water tanks so check ahead of time where these locations are.

5. Book Ahead Sweden has a limited number of campsites and especially within the major cities, booking ahead is strongly recommended. In addition, during peak season which ranges from mid-June to mid-August many campsites book up quickly so reserving early on is advisable.

Now that you’re aware of these important tips, you can make your campervan adventure in Sweden the trip of a lifetime. So hit the road and start exploring everything this picturesque country has to offer.

Rent a canoe, hike through the forests, or sit riverside and enjoy the scenery. 

Alternatively, drive your campervan rental south to the coastal Stenshuvud National Park. Craggy cliffs, lush forests and sandy beaches make this gorgeous national park a must-see on your southern Swedish road trip .

Sweden Coastline, Lakes, and Rivers

The west coast of Sweden is a popular destination for campervan and RV travelers. Steep rock cliffs, long sandy beaches, and sheltered coves make the coastline great for exploring. 

Visit Boda Beach on Oland Island to experience the shimmering waters of the Baltic sea. Take a dive in from the sandy shore or soak up the sun on the shore, enjoy a pic-nic on the beach or paddle through the waves. 

If you're looking for freshwater, drive your campervan rental to the exquisite Siljan Lake Area. Here, you can dive into the deep blue water, hike through the lush forests that surround the lake, or explore the small romantic villages that preside around the lake. 

Continue your campervan journey through Sweden to Vänern. Vänern is Sweden's largest lake and offers plenty of fishing, swimming, and sailing opportunities. There are also several charming villages located on its shores.

There are also many great rivers to visit in your campervan or RV rental. The Klarälven river flows through the Värmland region and is known for its stunning natural scenery. Swim, paddle, or hike along its banks as it flows through Höljes or other quaint villages in Värmland.

Campgrounds in Sweden

When traveling by campervan or RV, it's important to make sure you have a safe place to rest for the night. Sweden has so many beautiful campsites that accommodate campervans and RV rentals. A few sites you might consider as you plan your trip are: Holjes Camping, Osta Camping, and Tällberg Camping.

Renting a campervan or RV in Sweden will allow you to explore pristine Scandinavian landscapes, warm culture, and exquisite cuisine. Begin your journey from Stockholm or Malmö and embark on an adventure like never before.

Your road trip in Sweden

A road trip in a campervan rental in Sweden can be an incredible adventure! Sweden gas a well-developed road network that makes it easy to explore the diverse and beautiful landscape, sights, and activities. Whether you’re island-hopping through some of Sweden’s 200,000 islands (no, that’s not a typo!), photographing fishing villages with their distinctive red buildings, or searching for the aurora borealis, we’ve compiled the best tips and info below to help make any Swedish camping holiday go smoothly.

• Public access

Driving rules in Sweden

• In Sweden you should drive on the right-hand side of the road. Drivers turning right generally have priority unless otherwise shown on signs.
• On the motorway, drive in the right-hand lane. The other lanes are only for overtaking.
• The speed limit in Sweden is shown in km/h, shown by signs with a red circle around the number and a yellow background. In built-up areas the speed limit is generally 50km/h, main roads are 70-90km/h, and on motorways and dual carriageways it’s 120km/h, but make sure to stick to the speed limit shown on signs.
• Red lights at a traffic light mean stop, there is no exception like in the USA where it is sometimes possible to turn right at a red light.
• Watch out for large animals in rural areas such as elk!

The right of public access

Allemansrätten, or the right to access land, is treasured by the Swedes and a fundamental part of what make outdoor activities so accessible. Access to forests, lakes, rivers, mountains, and beaches is not restricted, and wild camping is allowed. However, it works by asking everyone who recreates in nature to be responsible and to act sensibly – see it as a privilege rather than a right! There are of course rules and guidelines to follow, and while we can’t list them all here, we’ve condensed some of the most important information that will allow you to make the most of allemansrätten and the incredible landscapes that Sweden has to offer.

• Follow the Leave No Trace protocol. Take your rubbish with you, never leave waste near a water source, and try to clear all evidence of a campsite before you leave.
• Use your common sense. If there’s a lot of wildlife around, perhaps it’s best not to camp. If the area seems particularly dry, think twice about lighting a campfire.
• Rules and guidelines are different in every area, so make sure you read the info signs wherever you go, especially in the National Parks.
• While walking off road is allowed, driving off road is not. Make sure you are not driving or camping in a prohibited area – a quick online search before you set off to your destination will let you know where you can park up for the night if you’re not using a campsite.

One of the best things about camping in Sweden is the ability to wild camp. Sleep in seclusion in nature, enjoy your morning drink with an incredible view, and make the most of the feeling of living outdoors that a campervan or motorhome provides. There are no facilities when wild camping, so at some points on your trip you’ll probably want to stay at a traditional campsite to use those.

• Wild camping in Sweden is the same as everywhere else in the world – choose a level spot to park that has no restrictions, leave no trace, and enjoy getting back to a simple life.
• Organised campsites offer a step up in terms of facilities from wild camping, although these campsites vary wildly from one to the other. In some you’ll find an experience that mimics wild camping, but with bathrooms and a water tap available. At the other end of the spectrum are campsites with kitchens, laundry rooms, waste disposal facilities, and even water parks and spas. It can be nice to include one of these towards the end of your trip for a little luxury (and a chance to get really clean!) before you head home.

Events & festivals in Sweden

• Walpurgis Night, whole country, April – Walpurgis Night is Sweden’s way of greeting Springtime at the end of April. Bonfires are lit, songs are sung, and traditional Spring foods like nettle soup are eaten. Events are held all over the country, but the biggest ones are in the cities.
• Midsomar, whole country, June – to celebrate midsummer, people gather with loved ones in big parties to feast and have fun. Make flower wreaths, dance around th maypole, and eat traditional herrig and potatoes.
• Gothenburg Cuture Festival, August, Gothenburg – this festival of the arts celebrates music, drama, and dance, in what feels like a city-wide street festival.
• Lucia festival, whole country, December – the traditional Lucia festival celebrates midwinter, where you’ll see processions of children dressed in white gowns and holding candles singing through the streets.

Places to visit in Sweden

While the delights of Stockholm and its archipelago are well known to travellers for good reason, it’s not the only part of Sweden worth exploring. Here are four other regions you may want to visit to make the most of your time in Sweden:

Gothenburg: visit Sweden’s most sustainable city and learn what it takes to top the Global Destination Sustainability Index four years in a row. From wind-powered hotels to a public transport system that run on over at least 65 per cent renewables, clean air and water is high on the city’s list of must-haves and restaurants have become closed-loop systems where power comes from kitchen waste converted to biogas. Local produce is championed, and sustainable innovation is seen everywhere from infrastructure to the fashion scene. There are pretty canals and leafy green streets, as well as brilliant art galleries and the country’s biggest botanical garden. Don’t forget to explore some of the islands off the coast!

Dalarna: this beautiful region is the place to go if you’re looking for classic Swedish countryside. Cycle through shady forests, picnic in wildflower meadows, and park up by a lake for the perfect sleep spot. It’s an amazing region to get out in nature with outdoor activities like horse riding or going on a foraging walk with a local guide, as well as the hiking that Sweden is so famous for.

Skåne: the southernmost tip of Sweden is a treasure trove for slow living, the perfect place to explore in a van. Relax on sandy beaches like Sandhammaren, where you’ll find 12 kilometres of golden sand, or hike part of the 1000-kilometre Skåneleden trail. As you drive through the region you see rolling fields and peaceful farmland, with plenty of seasonal produce for sale at farmstands. This produce is used liberally in the restaurants in towns like charming Ystad, where you’ll find cobbled streets and famous medieval architecture.

Arctic Lapland: explore Abisko National Park and try snowshoeing, skiing, and dogsledding amongst other Artic pastimes. It’s one of the best places in Sweden to catch the northern lights. Kiruna is Sweden’s northernmost city, a fantastic base for getting your bearings and stocking up on supplies, and the gorgeous town of Jokkmokk has a market that has been running for 400 years. Lapland is a great place to head in summer too, as the midnight sun means you’re never limited to daylight hours for your adventures!

Ten Tips for Touring Sweden in a Camper

Sweden may be Europe’s best kept secret although this country seriously deserves our time. Hidden behind the dramatic shadows of its sibling rival Norway, Sweden neither begs nor demands our attention. Instead it sits quietly, assertively and comfortably in its own skin and happily follows its own drum. When you visit though, make no mistake, this country will embrace you emphatically. With a warmth that will set you aglow whatever the weather, Sweden will feel like home within two footsteps and be a firm favourite in your heart forever. 

We had 34 delicious days touring Sweden, determined to feel its soul before we hit the visual explosion of Norway. Our Summer in Scandinavia road-trip has been, without doubt, a highlight of our full-time travels. 

Whilst we respect other people’s travel perspectives, we have been surprised and delighted by Sweden’s captivating appeal and found it neither boring nor uninspiring, as we had been led to believe. I’m sure that Norway’s geological masterpiece will blow our tiny minds in two, although there is nothing that will dislodge my feelings about Sweden. With her soft exuberance, gentle curves, charming natural energy and effortless elegance, Sweden’s landscape and profound culture will hold firm in my photo-album of memories. 

And with our diverse experiences in this Nordic pleasure-zone, we wanted to share our Top Tips for getting the most out of this awesome destination. For a closer look at our route and highlights check out our Interactive Map here.

1. Getting There

Arriving into Sweden is not as difficult as the map might suggest, despite its northern position. Depending on which direction you are coming from, entry is not only straightforward, it is also rich in options. With your camper you have two options for your arrival;

1. By Ferry.   Ferries are plentiful in this Nordic land. You can travel from:

• Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
• Norway and Finland
• Via Finland you can cross the border at Haparanda on the E8.
• Via Norway ; from the north, the E10 entry into Abisko is an outstanding route or on E6 in the south, crossing at Seläter.
• Via Denmark crossing the Storebælt and  Øresund Bridge (which are chargeable.) 

If you are coming from UK, then head from Calais across northern Netherlands and Germany. We recommend crossing the Elbe river at Wischhafen on the ferry, rather than getting caught up in Hamburg. For €20 (for a 7.5m van) you are across the water in 30 mins.   Check out our footage of this easy route to Denmark here.  

This is our route into Denmark, which had a couple of diversions to explore Netherlands and see friends, although you will get a flavour of the direction you too could take. 

Sweden has, on the whole an excellent road network. In the south particularly, driving is effortless and noise free. Of course the summer holidays will undoubtedly bring more traffic, although during our road-trip, Stockholm was the busiest place we encountered. Otherwise we could drive for hours and only see a handful of vehicles. Here are some additional driving tips we can offer.

All of Sweden’s roads have regular pull-ins or parking areas where you can park up for the night. Many of them have dry toilets and offer opportunities to fill up with water too. Along the motorway network, there are regular places you can stop, many of which have latrines for emptying your black waste.  Here’s a map of the main motorway rest areas .  And these are safe to park up areas unlike those in France.

As you head north into Lapland, the roads in summer become unpredictable as it is when they carry out their winter repairs. So take this into account when planning your travel. Often you will come across road works for up to 12 miles (20km) and the tarmac will just disappear, replaced by gravel and potholes and seemingly no-one working on them. This will reduce your speed significantly and could add up to 1 hour to your travel time. So be prepared for this.

When you see a sign for a motorway on the map, just bear in mind that this is not a motorway on the same scale as its European cousins. Often it is just a single carriageway route, especially in the north.

There are no motorway tolls in Sweden. Although they do have two City Congestion Charges and two chargeable bridges that require payment via Vehicle Registration Recognition. In both Stockholm and Gothenburg, if you travel through the city during the week, there is a charge depending on the time of day and your vehicle. Although weekends and public holidays are free. Although these roads can generally be avoided by taking the ring roads. The Motala and Sundsvall Bridges both have charges to help pay for their construction and upkeep, although again they can be avoided. Otherwise all roads are free to travel. For more info on the charges, check here.

Some of the roads in Lapland are more narrow than those in the south. Whilst not impassable with two vehicles, it is worth just being mindful when a lorry or another motorhome passes.

There are plentiful speed cameras  everywhere in the south. Whilst they always warn you of their presence, because there are so many of them, it’s easy to take your eye off the ball and miss one. So do watch your speed. Once you head into the central backbone of Sweden from the High Coast, the cameras strangely disappear.

There were no height restrictions or roads that were off-limits. We never once had to turn round because the road was impassable for a 7.5m van.

As you head north into the wilderness, watch out for the roaming wildlife . Whilst you are more likely to see reindeer than moose, either could be encountered on your route. Advice we got from the locals; if a moose crosses your path, do not swerve. Slow down and go behind them as they never retreat. When it comes to Rudloph’s mates, then they have a more skittish feel about them. They truly wander; from one side of the road to another. There is nothing predictable about them at all. So go at their speed and allow them to find their own course across the carriageway into the forest.

3. All things Money and Shopping 

Despite being in Europe, Sweden has its own currency – Swedish Krone, SEK. We used XE.com to get a handle on the exchange rates.

Sweden is generally a cash-less society , so don’t load up with too much of the paper stuff. Just your pre-loaded cards will do fine. Even for small amounts, cards are generally used. The only exception was an Aire we stayed at.

Shopping in Sweden is more expensive than some of its European cousins further south, although is on a par with UK, on many levels. Petrol Stations are about the same and food is more like an upmarket supermarket price bracket, like say Waitrose.

In terms of supermarkets , you have plenty of options; Lidl, ICA, Hemköp, Willy’s and Stora Coop. We particularly liked Coop for its range of food and layout and ICA was pretty good if not a bit more expensive. It’s worth noting that Lidl, whilst is prevalent in the south, starts to thin out as you head north. The last one in the central north region is Östersund and Skelleftea on the Baltic Coast. Once in Lapland then you will rely on ICA and Coop mostly.

Alcohol is more expensive  than many countries in Europe, although again similar to UK prices. Whilst you can buy low alcohol beers in supermarkets, stronger stuff is only available in Government run stores such as Systembolaget.

4. Diesel and LPG

Sweden’s petrol stations are profuse. They are mostly self-serving and payable at the pump. Most often you will also find water that you can fill up your tanks with too.    Some petrol stations have Latrines for emptying your black waste.

Bizarrely, we found the prices of diesel more expensive in the south and as we headed east towards Stockolm, it was cheaper. In June 2019 prices ranged from 16.30SEK around Mälmo to 15.39SEK in Sundsvall.

For LPG , these are not attached to garages and are most often found in Industrial estates, set up as separate businesses. In the south there are generally plenty of places to fill up, although in the north there are few to none. The furthest north you will find a station is in Piteå on the Baltic Coast. There is nothing up the central spine or in Lapland. So plan carefully especially if you are visiting in autumn and winter when the weather gets colder.  Check the LPG.eu website for more information on up-to-date locations.

5. Eating and Drinking

Whilst we didn’t eat out much in Sweden, partly because of the prices, we did have a couple of outings. One thing you must do whilst here is to indulge in a Fika. It’s coffee and a little something to eat. Consumed at any time of the day, this is a very cultural Swedish experience and won’t break the bank.

Experiencing a bit of Sami culture is essential to your Scandinavian adventure. And if you can try their food, you’ll not  be disappointed. Their Coffee Cheese is interesting – stove boiled coffee with chunks of cheese lurking in the bottom of your cup –  hum interesting!

Whilst your views on meat may lean you towards vegetarian, for meat lovers, Reindeer sausage is an interesting meat. Much like venison, it is a very dark meat and we had a lovely Sami dish with slices of sausage on their delicious flatbreads with a horseradish and creme fraiche dressing. 

If you decide on a city visit to Gothenburg or Stockholm and decide on eating out – just be aware of prices. Much like any other city around the world, food prices can double. We had a much needed cider and beer in Stockholm, for the princely sum of £14. Whilst that might be standard for London lovers, for us, that was steep. 

6. Conversing

Swedes are excellent linguists and English is just one of their many tongues. Although we have always found that being able to converse in a country’s local language is so important and respectful. Here are some key phrases that we used to help us blend in, just a little. 

• Hej, hej  – hello
• Hej då (pronounced do) – bye
• Tack – thank you and please
• Kan jag på (pronounced po) – can I have?
• Är det möjligt – is it possible?
• Pratar du engelska  – do you speak English?
• Ja och nej – yes and no
• Kan jag betala   –  can I pay?
• Kan jag stanna – can I stay?
• En natt tack – one night please 

7. DIY and campervan crisis

We can never guarantee a hiccup-free road-trip to any country and whilst we can have the best stocked tool-kit in the world, it rarely covers every eventuality. So if like us, you experience issues that need a bit of DIY fixing until you get home, then Biltema is the place to head for.    Biltema  is an incredible one-stop-shop  that sells almost everything for bicycles, all types of vehicles, boats, gardens, electrics and plumbing. We used them on a couple of occasions and they are a priceless resource. Also they have Dollar Stores, which are a bit like the Chinese stores you find across Europe.

8. All things Camping 

Camping in Sweden is effortless whether you like wild camping or the security of an Aire or campsite. Whilst we only used two campsites during our 34 day stay, there are plenty available. Check out this site for more campsite information . The two sites we used were for a city visit and get washing done. The typical routine is that you book a 3 hour slot and you can do as many washes and tumble dries as you like during this period. Some charge for this service and others it is free.

If you enjoy the in-between version of an Aire – Sweden call them Campingplats, then there are lots of these too  –  especially in the south and around the Göta Canal. They all have full facilities and idyllic locations. Be aware though that many of them are payable by Swish , which is a Sweden specific mobile payment system. Generally for us foreigners, there is a warden who will come around to collect your money. This is the one time that having cash will be important. 

We are wild camping lovers and Sweden is bar far the best country we have visited that offers effortless overnight parking. And after the joys of Greece , that really is saying something.  Whether it is parking up on a sandy beach (yes, right on the sand is permitted and safe), alongside rivers and lakes ideal for swimming or beside authentic fishing villages in the middle of no-where. Sweden offers it all. Just be mindful that in the summer mosquitos come out to play and with so much water it can be a bother. We had one particularly bad night, although otherwise it wasn’t as bad as we expected.

In terms of emptying and filling, this is simple too. With free services for motorhomes dotted everywhere, dry toilets that allow you to eek out your own facilities, and garages where you can also fill up with water, it really is so easy. We used Park4Night for a majority of our overnights, together with Google Earth to find our own quiet spots for the night.   And all our entries have been added to SearchforSites . I have never felt so safe as in Sweden and we really did end up in some remote spots.

Sweden has a freedom to roam policy. So if you are coming with a tent or camper, then this is camping heaven. You are allowed, by law to camp, walk, pick berries and kayak in the wilderness. In fact you can stay anywhere as long as it is not in a private garden or close to residential dwellings. 

9. Coping with the Midnight Sun

This part of the world is blessed, during the summer months with 24hrs sunlight for a couple of months. From mid-May to mid-July you will begin to experience seriously long days. Even in the south of Sweden, light evenings at midnight are common around 21 June. Although as you head towards Arjeplog in Lapland you are in for a midnight treat. This is the furthest south you can experience the Midnight Sun. Thanks to the tilt of the earth, this solar ball never sinks below the horizon, it just tickles it and continues on its way into the next day. 

Coming from UK, not having dark nights is a strange experience. There’s something about how our bodies are conditioned to feel tired when the light fades and awakens again with the dawn. This far north those definitions don’t exist – at this time of year at least. So birds sing all night, insects go about their business undisturbed and time for sleep never seems to arrive. It really is an adjustment. Although adjust you will.

We love sleeping with blinds open, although to trick the mind, either get black-out curtains or close your shutters so you can block out the sunshine. You will wake up in the middle of the night and feel disorientated as your mind tries to work out the time. If you really struggle, take eye masks so you can sleep. Although it is worth adding that after a couple of weeks, your body will soon adjust and your internal body clock will naturally want to sleep.

There are so many upsides to these super long days; it inspires immense creativity, aliveness and time to travel for as long as you want. You can start out on the road early and still have plenty of time  to explore your destination. We have felt so energised by this 24hr light and it really feels so exciting even 6 weeks on.  And one of the best bits for us wild campers; we can go to bed with our batteries at 12.4 and wake up to fully charged fellas because of the constant solar. It makes living and travelling here so easy.

10. Preparing for the weather

We’d love to be precise about the weather in these parts, although given our experiences of snow in Spain, earthquakes in Italy and flash floods in France, I’m not sure we are best placed for predictions. Scandinavia generally in summer has some gorgeous weather, reaching the heady heights of mid-twenties. Although depending on what is happening in Southern Europe, Scandinavia can have reverse fortunes. On 29th June we were sat in a snow-storm in Abisko. 

As the days become shorter and the summer submits to the force of autumn, the weather will start to change. Snows can come as early as October in the far north, so make sure you have de-icer or screen wash in your reservoir and snow socks as a precaution.

One thing is sure, we came to this area knowing that we would not be encountering a heat-wave. OK so 2018 was perhaps an exception! It’s important though to not be ruled by the sun or heat because we are a long way north. We found that there was a definite weather pattern. We would have three or four really lovely warm days followed by two cold, wet and grey ones. Tune your heads into cooler weather than you might expect if you head south to Spain. Pack layers, waterproofs and solid walking boots. Shorts can have their place in your packing cubes, although manage your expectations and you will enjoy the area so much more. Much like anywhere, the weather is, what the weather is.

A road-trip to Sweden has never been more accessible. With a warm welcome, a diverse and beautiful landscape and 1000 miles north to south, there are endless options for your adventures. Coastline, mountains, forest, castles, canals and lakes – every interest and outdoor pursuit can be satiated in this enthralling country. Start planning for your trip now and experience the magnificence that Sweden has to offer.

Swedish: Kan jag få? – Can i have? På meens On 😉 Love your courage and storys!

Motorhome through Sweden for 1 to 3 weeks

Sweden offers beautiful coastlines, with everything from sandy beaches to cliffs, and you will also find large forests, popular for hiking. If you travel further north in the country, nature offers a completely different type of environment than the south, with mountain landscapes and waterfalls. As Sweden is about 1,600 kilometers long, this diversity makes sense, right? If you like culture and history, you will also find plenty of grand and beautiful castles in Sweden, as well as historic forts, free-air museums, and other interesting sights. There are also many nice and interesting cities, whether you like small-town charm or bigger cities with a wider range of culture and restaurants. All in all, during a motorhome trip around Sweden, you have the chance to see and experience the country in a way that suits you.

1. Around Skåne with motorhome for 7 days

This seven-day motorhome route takes you through Sweden’s southernmost landscape. The tour starts in the northeastern part of Skåne, which also is known as Scania, and follows the entire coast until you finish in the northwestern part. During the trip, you will have time to see everything from cities and historical sights to beaches and natural areas.

The tour starts in the cozy Åhus, which is located along the “ålakusten” on the east coast of Skåne. Here, you can enjoy ice cream, either in the form of classic Ottoglass or at the charming ice cream boat. In addition, you can learn more about vodka at the Absolut Home visitor center, as Åhus is home to the iconic vodka brand Absolut.

The journey then continues to lovely Österlen, where you can experience nature in Stenshuvud National Park and Kivik, with apple orchards and a museum. You will then arrive at the picturesque small town of Simrishamn, which is often referred to as the capital of Österlen.

One of the major sights on the way to Ystad is Glimmingehus, which dates from the 15th century and is the best-preserved medieval castle in the Nordics. Another major attraction in the area is Ales stenar, which is Sweden’s largest and best-preserved shipwreck. When arriving there, you can really sense the mystery surrounding it. Ystad is also well worth a visit, with charming cobbled streets and well-preserved half-timbered houses. If you have read the books, or seen the films, about police inspector Kurt Wallander, taking a tour in his footsteps is a popular attraction.

As you continue west along the southern coast, you pass Smygehus, which is Sweden’s southernmost headland. Here, you will surely want to take the opportunity to take a photo of yourself, while enjoying the wonderful environment. When you continue, you can make a stop in Trelleborg, where you can, among other things, see the reconstruction of the historic “Trelleborgen”, which is a Viking castle that was located on the site in the 9th century. Even further east, you come to Skanör-Falsterbo, which offers some of Skåne’s most beautiful sandy beaches.

Malmö is the largest city in Skåne, and also the third largest city in Sweden. Here, you can, for example, visit Malmöhus castle, with its exhibitions, or relax at the cozy outdoor seating at Lilla Torg, which is a vivid plaza. On the way up to Helsingborg, you pass Landskrona, where if you want you can see the mighty Landskrona castle. Helsingborg is also a city that has a lot to offer. For example, you can soak up the view from 35 meters high fort Kärnan, or take an excursion to the beautiful Sofiero castle and castle garden, which offers a beautiful castle environment.

After having experienced Helsingborg, you can take a trip out to Kullahalvön, which is a peninsula where you can experience the Kullaberg nature reserve, which offers, among other things, a whole bunch of exciting caves. At Kullahalvön, there is also the opportunity to visit Swedish vineyards or perhaps the unusual work of art Nimis. The journey can then end on Bjärehalvön, another peninsula at which you can visit the nature reserve of Hovs Hallar, Norrvikens Gardens, and Båstad, which offers tennis, beaches, and restaurants.

Excursion tips:

Starting from Landskrona, you can take a boat trip to the scenic island of Ven. Here, you can bike, experience nature reserves, and visit the Tycho Brahe Museum, which tells the story of the scientist who once lived and worked on the island.

2. Vildmarksvägen with motorhome for 7 days

Jämtland and lapland.

Experiencing Vildmarksvägen, which translates into “The wilderness road”, with a motorhome is truly unique. This road is Sweden’s highest paved road, reaching 876 meters above the sea at the Stekenjokk plateau (or “Stekenjokkplatån” in Swedish) between Lapland and Jämtland. The route covers a total distance of 500 kilometers and offers unforgettable views. One of the most appreciated aspects of this road is that it goes straight through the bare mountain (in Swedish called “kalfjället”), which gives you the opportunity to experience both the mountains and the Sami cultural landscape directly from your mobile home.

The journey starts in Strömsund in Jämtland, where you can pay a visit to the village’s homestead, which is very nicely located by the water. On the way to Gäddede, you have the opportunity to see the beautiful waterfall Hällingsåsfallet, which has a 40-meter drop and is perhaps the most spectacular waterfall along the entire Vildmarksvägen.

When you continue on, you pass the small village of Jormvattnet, where there is a fishing camp and possible to book a riding tour with Icelandic horses. There is also the opportunity to see another waterfall, Brakkåfallet, which is known, among other things, from the famous Swedish movie Dunderklumpen. Nearby, you can also experience the lake Stora Blåsjön, see the Gaustafallet waterfall, and experience the caves Korallgrottorna. Note, however, that the caves can only be seen together with a guide. Once you arrive at the Stekenjokksplatån, you experience the most famous part of Vildmarksvägen. Here, at 876 meters above sea level, you experience the highest point of the road, meaning incredible views.

Furthermore, the former mining village of Klimpfäll offers great opportunities for hiking, with, for example, Trollstigen and Kullafallet. When you arrive at Fatmokakke, you can see the Sami church town of Fatmomakke, which is the most prominent Sami church town in the whole country.

On the way to Vilhelmina, you pass the beautiful rapids of Trappstegsforsen, which is easily accessible right by the road, a little south of Saxnäs. There is also the opportunity to experience the waterfall Dimforsen and make a detour to Borgafjäll, where there is lovely nature and a restaurant. In Vilhelmina, you can see, a church town from the 19th century along with a seasonal museum and the opportunity to discover Sami crafts.

In Dorotea, you can visit a church with unique sculptures by, among others, Carl Milles, as well as a homestead and caravan museum. When the tour then continues, back towards Strömsund, you can make various stops at everything from waterfalls to nature areas and car museums – whatever you desire.

If you want to hike during your trip along Vildmarksvägen, there are many different options. For example, you can hike the Bjurälven hiking trail (7.3 km), hike to Mesklumpen’s top (about 4 km) or hike the longer Norgefararleden (40 km).

1st night: Strömsund → 1 h 40 min – 135 km 2nd night: Gäddede → 1 h 20 min – 85 km 3rd night: Stekenjokk → 45 min – 45 km 4th night: Fatmomakke → 1 h 40 min – 120 km 5th night: Vilhelmina → 40 min – 55 km 6th night: Dorotea → 1 h 50 min – 125 km 7th night: Strömsund

3. Göta canal with motorhome for 7 days

Östergötland and västergötland.

This seven-day road trip in Sweden takes you along the Göta Canal, which is one of the largest and most famous sights in Sweden. The canal, which was completed in 1832, is 190.5 kilometers long and runs between Mem in Östergötland and Sjötorp in Västergötland. The canal was founded by Baltzar von Platen and built by a total of 58,000 soldiers. All in all, 87.3 kilometers were dug or blasted, in addition to the natural waterways. In total, the canal has 58 locks, 2 aqueducts, and a level difference of 91.8 meters. In summer, it is extremely popular to follow the canal by boat, and it is just as popular to follow it on land, for example by bicycle or motorhome.

One can choose to follow the canal from east to west, or in the opposite direction, and in this guide, the journey begins at the farthest east. The first lock is in Mem, which is usually described as the Baltic Sea gateway to Göta Canal. This is the exact place where the canal was festively inaugurated in 1832, with, among others, King Karl XIV Johan. In addition to seeing the lock and the meticulous process surrounding it, visit Kanalmagasinet’s café and restaurant. You may also be interested in exploring Stegeborg, where you will find a castle ruin, together with a marina and a harbor tavern.

The motorhome journey then continues to Söderköping, which is a really picturesque little summer town. The canal runs right through the center, and standing here and watching the boats enter the locks is very popular. Söderköping is also known for ice cream, and outside the popular ice cream café Smultronstället, with large and spectacular ice cream dishes (yes, that’s right – dishes, more than a snack), the queues tend to be long. There are also other, smaller ice cream cafes in town.

Now it’s time to drive on towards Bergs Slussar (“the locks of Berg”), which is one of the highlights along the Göta canal. Here, there is an imposing staircase lock that includes no less than 11 locks, with a height difference of 18.9 meters in total. In addition, there are several other interesting sights nearby. Among other things, you can visit Vreta Abbey from the 12th century, and the aqueduct in Ljungsbro, where the boats go on a bridge above the cars.

The journey then continues to the small city of Motala, and on the way, you can stop in the charming village of Borensberg, where you will find several cozy shops. Motala is often described as the capital of the Göta Canal. Here, you will find the second largest staircase lock of the canal, and Baltzar von Platen, the man behind the canal, is buried here. There is also a car museum and the Nordic region’s largest lake beach. When you travel by motorhome and want to get from Motala to Forsvik, where the canal continues, you have to go around Lake Vättern. Now, if you want, you can take the opportunity to explore the charming town of Askersund or pay a visit to Tiveden National Park. Once in Forsvik, you will find the oldest lock of Göta Canal and Forsvik’s mill, with its long history and interesting industrial museum. Nearby, you can also visit Karlsborg Fortress, which was completed in 1909, but which had already become outdated by the time it was completed.

It is now time to continue to the small town of Töreboda, where you can take the opportunity to go on the smallest regular ferry in Sweden. If you wish, you can stay one night at the beautifully situated Wassbacken café and campsite, before continuing to Hajstorp, where there are two nice double locks.

Before you reach the end of the journey in Sjötorp, you pass the locks in Norrqvarn, which offers a holiday feeling with a restaurant and canal-themed playground. In Sjötorp, it is then time to see the very last locks along the canal, while you may take the opportunity to enjoy ice cream and fresh fish.

When you are in Motala, you can take a detour south to the historic town of Vadstena, where you can visit the Vadstena castle and abbey area. If you like history, you can continue to the Alvastra Abbey and the Rök runestone, with the world’s longest runic inscription.

Overview of the tour

1st night: Stegeborg → 1 h – 35 km 2nd night: Söderköping → 45 min – 56 km 3rd night: Berg’s locks → 30 min – 37 km 4th night: Motala → 1 h – 85 km 5th night: Forsvik → 35 min – 33 km 6th night: Töreboda → 25 min – 20 km 7th night: Sjötorp

Total travel time: 4 h 30 min and 280 km Best time to travel: June – August

Places to stay overnight along the way:

• Pitches in Stegeborg
• Pitches in Söderköping
• Pitches at Bergs Slussar
• Pitches at Södra Strand in Motala
• Pitches at Forsvik along Göta canal
• Wassbacken Café and Camping
• Pitches at Sjötorp Norra along Göta Canal

Following the Göta canal with a motorhome is popular, which is why it can be crowded at campsites and pitches. During high season, it can therefore be good to book in advance or to arrive early in the day.

4. Road trip through Sweden for 2-3 weeks

Southern sweden.

This 14-day tour, which easily can be extended to a three-week tour, takes you around the entire southern part of Sweden. The tour starts in Skåne, takes you along the beautiful west coast, continues between lakes Vänern and Vättern, lets you experience the capital Stockholm, and then takes you south again along the beautiful east coast. It is possible to make the trip in two weeks, but you must be prepared for a relatively high pace and slightly longer driving distances. Adding one more week gives you more time to discover everything a bit deeper.

Your journey begins in Malmö in Skåne, which offers a lovely stretch of coast and the opportunity to see the famous Turning Torso building, the highest building in Sweden. You can also visit the historic Malmöhus castle. The tour then continues along the west coast, where you can visit the cozy summer town of Halmstad. Here, you can stroll around town along the river Nissan, or head out to cozy Tylösand to enjoy nice beaches. You can make another stop along the west coast in Varberg, which is another lovely summer town with long sandy beaches. Here, you can also take the opportunity to explore the Varberg fortress.

On the way up to Gothenburg, the second largest city in Sweden, you might take the opportunity to visit Tjolöholm Castle, which is a fairytale-like beautiful castle, built in opulent British style. Once you arrive in Gothenburg, you can discover this lovely west coast city, where you can, for example, stroll through the idyllic Haga or the beautiful botanical garden. Another option is to go out to the charming Öckerö islands, where you will find several pitches for motorhomes in a beautiful coastal environment. From Gothenburg, the journey continues towards yet another fairytale castle, Läckö Castle, which is reflected in Lake Vänern with its high pinnacles and towers. After that, you can continue to Örebro, where you can explore the magnificent Örebro Castle and visit the charming Wadköping open-air museum, which offers a wonderful journey back in time.

You are now approaching the capital Stockholm, and of course, there is much to see and discover here. For example, you may want to take a walk in Djurgården, with the Vasa Museum, or discover the Stockholm archipelago during a boat trip. Even more tips for those who want to be visiting Stockholm by motorhome can be found here.

After the visit to Stockholm, it is time to head south again, but now along the eastern coast. On the way to the city of Norrköping, you can make a stop in the charming town of Trosa or discover nature in the Stendörren nature reserve, which offers a lovely archipelago environment with bridges between islands. In Norrköping, you can discover the special, and beautiful, industrial landscape.

When going south along the east coast, you can, for example, stay in Västervik, which is a lovely and idyllic little summer town, and also the birthplace of Björn Ulvaeus in Abba. Here, you can also take the opportunity to enjoy the environment at the lovely Västervik Resort. When you drive further south, it is well worth stopping in Kalmar, where you can stroll among charming buildings and discover the impressive Kalmar Castle.

A final stop is worth making in Karlskrona, a military town included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, due to its military history. Here, you may want to visit the Marine Museum, or why not try delicious ice cream at the Glassiären in the middle of town? If the circle is then to be closed, it is time to roll back to Malmö, where this road trip through Sweden by motorhome began.

1st night: Malmö → 1 h 30 min – 140 km 2nd night: Halmstad → 50 min – 70 km 3rd night: Varberg → 1 h – 75 km 4th – 5th night: Gothenburg → 2 h – 150 km 6th night: Läckö castle → 2 h 20 min – 185 km 7th night: Örebro → 3 h – 215 km 8th – 9th night: Stockholm → 2 h – 165 km 10th night: Norrköping → 1 h 30 min – 115 km 11th night: Västervik → 1 h 45 min – 140 km 12th night: Kalmar → 1 h 10 min – 80 km 13th night: Karlskrona → 2 h 10 min – 200 km 14th night: Malmö

5. A few final words about your trip with motorhome Sweden

Discovering Sweden with a motorhome is wonderful! In this guide, we have presented a number of suggestions for road trips, of which you should find a setup that suits you, regardless of whether you want to be on the road for one or three weeks, or heading south or north. Thus, you can of course adapt these suggestions to your own schedule and rhythm. If you have plenty of time, it can be nice to travel at a slower pace, and have time to experience more in each place.

In addition to the motorhome routes suggested here, there are of course many more places to discover. As we said in the beginning, Sweden is a diverse country with lots of places to discover. Among others, the island of Öland is popular, as well as the archipelago of Bohuslän and the northern parts of Norrland.

Camping in Sweden

Bring your caravan or motorhome to more than 300 National Swedish Campsite Association campsites in Sweden. Drive or pitch under the midnight sun in Swedish Lapland, camp in a giant forest, or beside countless lakes anywhere in the country and beachside in the south, east and west.

The seasons

In Sweden the spring season is from March/April to May, the summer season is from June to August, the autumn season from September to October/November and the winter season from November/December to March/February. 

This varies slightly of course because Sweden is such a big country and in the far north, you are inside the Arctic Circle. Because of the Gulf Stream, Sweden enjoys a mild climate generally, with summer temperatures of +20C around the country. So Sweden really isn’t as cold as you might think. The peak season for camping in Sweden is in June and July and most of the country enjoys around 20 hours of daylight in the summer months. And yes, in the far north there are periods when the sun doesn't set in the summer months and you could be enjoying your favourite tipple under the midnight sun. Come autumn the mercury starts dropping, so make sure the heating in your caravan or motorhome is working!

What can you expect?

Sweden is a big country with big nature and big city experiences – the choice is yours. You have the last remaining true wilderness of Swedish Lapland – a vast area of glaciers, mountains, Arctic plains, tundra and wildlife. On the west coast , you can combine the buzz of city life in Gothenburg with the Bohuslän coast and archipelago; famous for its coastal fishing villages, sparkling islands, as well as world-class lobster, prawns, oysters and mussels. Or how about Sweden’s most southerly region Skåne , famous for its farmland plains, and the city of Malmö, linked to Copenhagen by the magnificent Öresund Bridge – the setting for ‘The Bridge’ Nordic-noir television series.

Wherever your destination is in Sweden you will find a high-quality camping site. The National Swedish Campsite Association has more than 300 campsites in Sweden as members. The campsites are all over Sweden and offer more than 75,000 camping pitches and 9,000 cottages and cabins.

The Vasa Museum in Stockholm is Sweden's most popular museum. The famous Swedish 64-gun warship called Vasa sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. The ship lay below the icy waters for more than three centuries until 1961 when a salvage operation was carried out. 

English guided tours and audio guides are available. The museum houses 10 separate exhibitions, which makes the museum a truly interesting day out.

Drottningholm Palace, Lovö

The fairy-tale-like palace Drottningholm is on the island of Lovö and it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace is now the official residence of the Swedish Royal Family and it dates back to the 17th century.

The terraced park is full of bronze sculptures from Bohemia and Denmark, brought back as trophies of war. There is also a Chinese Pavilion which dates from the late 1700s. Guided tours are available in English.

ABBA The Museum 

ABBA The Museum is on the island of Djurgården, which is a quick bus or tram ride from the city center. This museum is unique even if you’re not an ABBA fan. The content and activities in the museum put the group’s musical achievements and influences in a historical context, which will help you to understand the ABBA ‘Phenomenon’ better. 

The Museum showcases the band’s stage clothes, artifacts, concert footage, interviews and more in a contemporary, interactive setting. Once inside the museum, you can sing along and dance with the holograms of ABBA.

To drive an RV in Sweden you will need to have a US driver’s license and you will also need to be aged 21 or over. Some rental companies may require further documentation so always check with the provider before booking. In addition, make sure to check speed limits and road regulations before renting an RV in Sweden as speed limits and road regulations differ to those in the USA. You can stay in Sweden for up to 90 days without needing to apply for a visa.

Dispersed camping or also known as wild camping in Sweden is permitted. However, RVs must be parked in a rest area or on the roadside. Camping is not allowed in national parks or on private property without the landowner’s permission.

Camping vacations are popular in Sweden so there are a lot of camping grounds to choose from. The price of camping grounds can vary depending on the location and facilities. The average cost is around $20.00 to $30.00 per night, but it’s always best to check before booking because some camping grounds are only open during the high season.

We would recommend staying in Sweden for 7 -10 days. This will give you enough time to visit Stockholm and enjoy the unspoiled forests and lakes.

The best time to visit Sweden is from May until September. During these months the weather is at its best making it ideal for exploring one of the cities or being out in the great outdoors.

Usually, you have to be 21 to rent a vehicle in Sweden. It is also advisable to check the rental conditions for more information.

Most campervan hire companies have nothing against toddlers in their RVs.

Important information and facts about Sweden

Campervan hire in sweden: discover sweden with campstar.

Sweden is the largest Scandinavian country and lies high up in the north of Europe. It offers every camper with his campervan a breathtaking nature, a lot of culture and modernity.

Its nature is breathtakingly beautiful, partly untouched and impressive. There are about 95,000 lakes, thousands of kilometres of coastline and over 2,250,000 islands.

Hiring campervan in Sweden is easy with Campstar. This is the best way to experience this fascinating country. You can park your campervan in a new place every day. Sweden offers many natural sites for campervans and caravans, most of which have a fireplace and a simple dry toilet. If you like a site, simply stay longer. Or explore the country and drive on with your campervan.

Hiring a campervan in Sweden is a good alternative and will make you a real camper.

Culturally, Sweden has a lot to offer as it looks back on a long and eventful history. Viking remains, centuries-old churches and buildings are very well preserved and worth a visit.

Sweden is also one of the most innovative countries in the world - very many technical innovations reach this country far ahead of all others.

This is how this country has managed to combine unspoilt nature, culture and modernity. Whether you hire a camper van as a camper, a hotel room as a city traveller or a holiday home as a family - everyone gets their money's worth here. Sweden is one of the most impressive countries in Europe and always worth an unforgettable trip.

So why not hire a campervan in Sweden !

Climatic features and geographical location

Sweden stretches between the 55th and 69th parallel. This results in an unusual natural phenomenon. In parts of this country, the sun does not set in summer and does not rise in winter.

If you travel in May, for example, the weather in the south is similar to that in northern Germany. If you travel to the north, there may still be snow here in May. Sweden itself calls its climate zones "warm-temperate", "cold-temperate" and "polar climate". Here Sweden distinguishes between the coastal region of the country, the inland and the fjelds.

The country's geographical location has some special features. To the south, it borders the Kattegat and the North and Baltic Seas. Since 2000, it has been directly connected to Denmark via the Øresund Bridge. In the north of the country, the border connects with two other Scandinavian countries - Norway to the west and Finland to the east.

Most of the country is flat to hilly, whereas further up in the north the Scandinavian mountains begin, measuring up to 2000 metres in altitude.

Because of this special geographical location and the climate associated with it, you have many opportunities for leisure activities. You can swim in the Kattegat or have a snowball fight with your loved ones a few days later.

You can hire a campervan and be flexible and in the middle of the action.

Hire a campervan in Sweden and let the journey begin

Hire a campervan in Sweden - let your journey and adventure begin. In the Scandinavian countries, driving on country roads or motorways is pure relaxation. In Germany there are hardly any speed limits on the motorways, but in Scandinavia it's a different story. In Sweden, there is a speed limit of 110 km/h on the motorways, which makes travelling with a camper more relaxed. The roads themselves are often much wider. This means that there is always enough space between you and other road users.

So get into your camper and enjoy your holiday from the very first minute. With this relaxed driving, it's always worth taking a look at the area whizzing by - there's a lot to discover! The impressive landscape, endless forests and lakes can also be enjoyed while driving. You should also keep an eye out for moose and reindeer.

You will encounter them almost regularly in Sweden if you keep your eyes open. You will often catch a glimpse of these shy animals. If they are in the forest or lying in the sun with their offspring, you have a good chance. It is not uncommon to encounter them in forests, fields or lakes. So always have a camera or your mobile phone ready!

Example of an itinerary in Sweden

Hallands kustväg.

Hallands Län is located in the south of Sweden on the Swedish west coast by the Kattegat. With its route along the coast, the so-called Kustväg (coastal path) offers plenty of places to stop and enjoy. Here you drive off the motorways past long sandy beaches or rugged coastal cliffs.

Start this tour with your rented campervan in Halmstad and travel to Kungsbacka (approx. 120 km).

1. Halmstad - Falkenberg (approx. 50 km)

Halmstad is a town from the 16th century, which has a lot to offer in its centre. In the city centre there is a 16th century castle surrounded by old half-timbered houses. A museum ship, the three-masted barque Najaden, can also be visited here, as well as a burial mound from the Bronze or Iron Age.

Falkenberg is a small 12th century town with 4 museums and old wooden houses in the town centre.

Along this trail you will find countless places to linger. Stop for a swim, a visit to the museum or just to look and enjoy.

2. Falkenberg - Kungsbacka (approx. 70 km)

Varberg is located on this beautiful coastal route and was one of the mooring ports for Stena Line until 2019. Varberg shines with a 12th century fortress, which is now a museum and can be visited. The museum houses a bog body called "Bockstenmannen", which has been given a face, so to speak, using today's technology.

Kärradal lies roughly halfway between Falkenberg and Kungsbacka and offers a special beach experience. On this beach you can make a mooring in the sand. You can also climb into the rocks and use one of the many hollows as a sheltered beach fort.

Kungsbacka offers a lot of recreational opportunities. Here you can go shopping, take a city walk or play golf.

Wonderful destinations in Sweden

Sweden has a lot of fantastic places and sights to offer. Depending on the length of your stay and how far you want to drive - there are almost unlimited possibilities for leisure activities. Campervan hire in Sweden - just drive away!

Here are just a few recommendations for you:

In the south:

·        Astrid Lindgren's World in Vimmerby / Smålands Län.

·        Markaryds Moose Safari in Markaryd / Smålands Län

·        Gekås in Ullared / Hallands Län

In the middle:

·        Nobellmuseum in Karlskrona / Värmlands Län

·        Nils Olsson Dalar horses in Nusnäs / Värmlands Län

·        Njupeskär waterfall in Fulufjället national park in Älvdalen / Dalarnas Län

In the north:

·        Old Town of Stockholm

·        Jokkmokk Arctic Circle in Norrbottens Län

Astrid Lindgren's World

Astrid Lindgren's World is a theme park in Vimmerby in Smålands Län in the south of Sweden. We all know them: Michel from Lönneberga, Ronja the Robber's Daughter and not forgetting Pippi Longstocking. Immerse yourself in the world of Bullerbü, Saltkrokan and Co. - an unforgettable experience for young and old.

Markaryd's moose safari

In Markaryd you will find the well-known moose park. In addition to guided tours on the park train, you can also drive your own vehicle through the enclosure. Here, moose sightings are guaranteed and you may even get out and feed this majestic animal with twigs. You will certainly never get this close to a moose again!

Gekås in Ullared

Gekås is the largest department stores' in the world - located in the middle of the small town of Ullared in Hallands Län. With an area of over 35000 m², almost 7000 shopping trolleys and more than 80 checkouts, this department stores' is very impressive. Not only can you shop and eat here, but you can also stay overnight in a hotel or at the campsite belonging to it.

Njupeskär Waterfall in Fulufjället National Park in Dalarnas Län

Close to the Norwegian border, you come to Fulufjället National Park, where you can marvel at Sweden's highest waterfall (Njupeskär). With a height of 125 m, 90 m of which is in free fall, this sight provides an unforgettable experience.

Jokkmokk Arctic Circle in Norrbottens Län

Jokkmokk is located on the Arctic Circle in Norrbottens Län in Lapland. Although a small town with around 3000 inhabitants, its special location makes it a magnet for tourists. Here you are at the northernmost point of the world.

All recommended sights are within easy reach with a campervan hired in Sweden and offer sufficient parking space. At the same time, you will find overnight accommodation directly on site or in the vicinity at a camping or nature site.

Final information for your holiday in a rented campervan

Hiring a campervan in Sweden - you can reach this enchanting country in various ways. Start your holiday by plane and land at one of the airports in Sweden. There are airports in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Växjö, for example. Travel by ferry - this starts your journey in Kiel, for example, and travels overnight to Gothenburg. Or travel with your own car - here you will then drive over the Öresund Bridge, which connects Denmark with Sweden.

Pick up your rented camper at the drop-off point and start your journey through the far north of Europe.

What is special about a holiday in Sweden with a camper van?

You will never forget a trip with a camper van in Sweden. The feeling of unbridled freedom is greatly enhanced by the breathtaking nature in this Scandinavian country.

It is very easy to hire a campervan in Sweden, because it is very uncomplicated to find a parking space for one or even several nights. You are, in fact, completely independent and can change your itinerary every day.

Many tourists hire a campervan, so the Scandinavian countries are very well equipped for camping tourists. Along all the routes you will find places where you can spend the night legally and free of charge. These designated sites are usually equipped with a fireplace, free wood and simple dry toilets. Fresh water is available free of charge at petrol stations. Disposing of the camping toilet is possible here and also at other places designated for this purpose. By the way, most of the locals speak German and English, so communication with the residents is also quite easy.

The Everyman's Right

In Sweden, there is a special regulation that describes the use of nature in more detail: the Everyman's Right. This right is not a fixed law, but it is practiced habitually. According to it, everyone is allowed to enjoy nature. This means that you can go fishing (with an angler's card), make a fire in designated places or simply go swimming.

In Sweden, it is not uncommon for many hectares of land to be privately owned. This means that some people own an entire forest or lake. In order to keep these forests and lakes accessible, some things are allowed. You are allowed to pick berries and mushrooms in these forests, go for walks or swim and fish in the lakes.

However, the highest commandment is: always leave the place as if you had never been there. Do not dispose of rubbish, service water or the camping toilet in nature and only take as much of berries and mushrooms as you need for yourself.

If you encounter a moose or reindeer, keep quiet and enjoy the sight.

The country's population is otherwise generally somewhat reserved, but extremely friendly and helpful.

Hire a campervan in Sweden - and let the adventure begin

Rent a campervan and then enjoy your holiday in Scandinavia's largest country and discover the country with your campervan. Especially for camping tourists with a campervan, Sweden has a big heart and offers relaxed travelling. Look out for moose and reindeer, visit the Arctic Circle or swim in the countless lakes. Renting a campervan helps you to explore and get to know the country intensively. We wish you and your loved ones a good journey!

RV RENTAL SWEDEN

Sweden motorhome or campervan rental.

Our Sweden RV rental REVIEWS average 4.7 stars out of 5 , based on 22 Motorvana Sweden motorhome rental and campervan hire customer reviews.

MOTORVANA uses buying power to give you big RV rental savings. We facilitate the Sweden RV rental and campervan hire process with ultra-responsive support and a true  total motorhome rental cost.

We give you peace of mind.

Sweden motorhome rental SPECIALS: If you place your Sweden RV rental booking request with Motorvana online, our software will apply any relevant specials from the RV hire vendor as well as our own Motorvana QUANTUM online discount.

Book your RV rental early to secure best price and availability. Many clients book their Sweden motorhome hire holiday months in advance.

Sweden: Complex coastlines, myriad lakes and streams, antique yet modern cities, virgin forests stretching to flowered Lapland and its Sami culture, and oh those super-long summer days — with sunsets (if at all!) occuring around 11 pm (perfect for camping). Reindeer dapple the tundra. Bear and elk roam Europe's most vast wilderness. Pike, salmon and arctic char lurk in the crystal waters. And high above, nearly 200 nights a year, the Aurora Borealis perform their fascinating dance.

In these and further respects — including excellent and ubiquitous campgrounds — Sweden lends itself to outstanding motor home travel.

With your RV prudently parked, Scandinavia's famous "Everymans' Rights" (Allmansratten) allow you to freely roam rural areas, public and private alike, whether by foot or watercraft.

What's more, relative to the high prices at local hotels and restaurants, motorhome tours of Scandinavia are great value. As for comfort, consider the fact that most campgrounds in Scandinavia feature saunas for (rather ritualized) relaxation and friendly social interaction.

The intra-Scandinavia one-way rentals we offer give you extreme flexibility in planning and executing an efficient motorhome tour of this amazing land. RV pick-up and return are typically offered at or near the main airport.

Apart from our Motorvana QUANTUM online discount, the auto caravan hire and campervan hire prices and policies presented on the Motorvana website match the prices and policies of our suppliers. You aren't paying extra by going through Motorvana — in fact you're paying far less, thanks to our unilateral, QUANTUM discount.

Cost Of Renting A RV In Sweden

How much does it cost to rent an RV in Sweden? Several variables determine the cost of a motorhome rental or campervan hire in Sweden, including RV size, seasonality, and optional extras.

For exact total costs, please submit a SEARCH above. Our online order software will present all the RVs, whether motorhome, campervan or truck camper, ordered by price.

If you then click on the MORE INFO button below a RV image, all details about the RV, price, inclusions, depot location, and policies will be presented.

Various optional items are available for hire with a RV rental, and these greatly affect the total cost. These items (e.g. camping table and chairs, bedding, shuttle transfer) are presented during the ADD OPTIONS step of our online order process, along with selectable pick-up and return times.

In many cases the RV rental company offers free miles / free kilometers and/or an inclusive package that bundles together a set of optional extras for one relatively low price. Again, don't worry about those packages. Just select à la carte the options you want and our software will apply an inclusive package if such is available and if such package indeed gives you a lower price than actually paying for the options à la carte.

Similarly, RV rental companies often offer specials that involve optional extras. Such specials can be complicated and hard for customers to understand. Again, our software is carefully programmed and maintained to automatically apply any specials that benefit you.

We think our software is unique in terms helping our customers optimize their RV rental and minimize their costs in these important respects. Our aim is to provide you with the best value and to increase our sales as a result.

Motorvana Sweden RV Rental Reviews

This year we chose to explore Sweden and Norway in our summer holidays. We found Motorvana after doing some internet research. The price for renting an RV was unbeatable. The booking process via the webpage was very easy and convenient and we had the booking confirmed the same day. The rental station is some 40 km outside Stockholm so we booked a transfer to the station. Normally, the cars can be picked up in the afternoon. My husband and I had an early flight to Stockholm and we arrived at the rental station at around 10 a.m. The guys at the station did their best to have the car ready as soon as possible, so we were able to leave the station with our CamperVan already shortly after 11 a.m.!! The car was perfect for two people and the interior seemed quite new. We liked the car very much!!! We went to the Lofoten Islands and headed south along the coastal roads of Norway for three and a half weeks before we had to bring the car back. The drop-off was also very uncomplicated and a transport back to Stockholm was arranged for us (about 90 Euros or 100 US- to go to central Stockholm from the station). We can recommend booking via Motorvana without any restrictions!   Read More … Ruth and Heribert

This was our first time renting a motor home and renting on the internet caused us some apprehension. It turned out to be a trip of a lifetime - 26 days in the RV in Sweden, Finland and Norway - most of our time was spent in the North. It is definitely the best way to see these countries if travelling in the north. Motorvana - we highly recommend them. Service from beginning to end was first class. Staff addressed all our questions, very customer orientated. RV was fully equipped, only complaint - the manual for the RV: English was on the cover and the manual itself had no English inside. Manual for the vehicle itself had English. Vehicle worked well; English did not pose a problem when travelling in these countries. Canadians are welcomed in Scandinavia. Would rent from Motorvana again.   Read More … David and Ann Martin

We read all the reviews and find it hard to add to them. We were very satisified with the camper and also the staff at Motorvana. We travel by RV in the USA and really didn't know what to expect in Sweden, but we would certainly do it again. We were really impressed by the fuel mileage and wish we could purchase the same vehicle here in America.   Read More … Alexanders
