Camping in Finland
Situated in the far north, Finland is a long and mainly flat country, dominated by huge dense forests and glorious lakes. The unspoilt wilderness of this county makes it a perfect place for relaxing in natural, peaceful surroundings.
There is a considerable difference in the landscape between north and south, with the gently rolling, rural landscape of the south giving way to the hills and vast forests of the north and treeless fells and peat-lands of Lapland, where reindeer and moose run free. Forests of spruce, pine and birch cover three quarters of the country's surface and are inhabited by hares, elks and occasional wolves and bears. The other outstanding feature of Finland is its thousands of post-glacial lakes and islands. The main Lake District is centred on the beautiful Lake Saimaa in the south east, where you can swim, sail and fish. In the south, the capital Helsinki retains a small town feel, with open air cafés, green parks, waterways and a busy market square surrounded by 19th century architecture and museums. The flat western coastal regions include Turki and the Aland islands, ideal for sailing and fishing.
