First Camp Duse Udde - Säffle ★★

"We wanted our very first camping trip to start at First Camp Duse Udde since we are members, and being able to pick and book our exact spot online without any hassle was a great start. The Approach & The Lots: A big heads-up for fellow campers: the public road leading into the campsite is incredibly bumpy and severe. It’s a public road, so it’s completely out of First Camp’s hands, but you definitely need to slow down unless you want your caravan or motorhome to be "internally redecorated" by the time you open the door! 😉 Once checked in, the staff was great. Our lot was nice, though quite uneven, so it took a fair bit of leveling work to get the camper right. Pro tip: Avoid spot 315 unless you love early evening shade; it loses the sun early while you watch everyone else soak up the last rays. Facilities & Amenities: The beach area is absolutely amazing and perfect for kids, with great marked bike routes nearby that are easy enough for young riders. The service houses are a mixed bag. Service House 1 has been beautifully renovated with excellent family rooms and gender-separated shower/toilet rooms. They use a high-pressure water system to clean them—efficient for sure, though maybe not 100% thorough, but it felt clean. The other service buildings, however, are quite dated, sporting a very old-school, 1980s "respatex" standard. Things to Do: Because we stayed early in the season (June 5-7th), the site wasn't fully geared up for the summer rush yet, but we can imagine this place gets incredibly vibrant and busy in July. Even off-season, a huge highlight is the nearby Duse Udde Fyr. It's a historic lighthouse over 150 years old that has been converted into a cozy restaurant right on the rocks. The panoramic views over Lake Vänern from that point are an absolute "WOW"—definitely worth a visit for lunch or dinner.  All in all, it's a very nice campsite. We can absolutely recommend it!"
