The camping site of Kilpisjärven Retkeilykeskus on a sunny summer day pictured from above. The sun is shining and you can see Lake Kilpisjärvi and Malla fell.

Camping at the Foot of Saana Fell – Kilpisjärvi

The campsite at Kilpisjärven Retkeilykeskus is located right at the foot of Saana Fell, at the starting point of the trail leading to the summit. The campsite is ideal for motorhome and caravan travellers as well as tent campers who wish to stay close to nature and enjoy the Lapland fell landscapes.

During the summer season, the boat to the Three-Country Cairn departs directly from our shoreline, making it easy to reach this unique landmark from our campsite.
