How the classification system works
Being classified according to the Swedish Camping Standard is voluntary and means that the campsite meets a number of basic requirements. The classification results are shown with summarised stars and detailed bars. The bars measure and show the levels in five areas. Campsites without classification information have chosen not to be classified.
Hard and soft values
The classification measures hard and soft values, and the work is checked by special classification advisors. First and foremost, a number of absolute requirements must be met. These cover the dimensions of the sanitary facilities and that electrical and fire safety provisions are met and documented. The campsite is then assessed in five areas.
The five areas are hygiene, environment, service, recreation and activities. Within each area, the campsite is awarded a number of points that are converted into a value on a scale of 1-5. This is shown by the bars. These values are then combined and converted into stars on a scale of 1-5.
