Skeppsdockans Camping & Vandrarhem

Skeppsdockans Camping offers 114 pitches with electric hook-ups (10 A), around 70 of which can be booked online. For those who prefer camping in a tent, there are also scenic pitches without electricity, beautifully situated right beside the canal. Guests wishing to stay longer can choose from seasonal pitches in a peaceful natural setting.

There is a range of accommodation to suit different needs. The campsite offers five cabins without private showers or toilets, a fully equipped apartment with a kitchen, shower and toilet, as well as the idyllic Brovaktarstället cottage with its own shower and toilet. The old canal buildings, carefully renovated to preserve their historic character, also house a hostel with cosy rooms and shared shower and toilet facilities.

The buildings also house the reception and sanitary facilities, all set in a unique environment where past and present meet. At reception, guests can buy ice cream, drinks and sweets, as well as hire bicycles to explore the surrounding area. The old towpaths along the Göta Canal have been transformed into scenic cycle paths winding through the countryside. A cycle ride to Mem, where the canal meets the Baltic Sea and where construction of the canal was once officially inaugurated, is highly recommended. The route is approximately six kilometres – a perfect outing for the whole family.

Söderköping itself is well worth exploring. Its charming cobbled streets, colourful wooden houses and inviting little shops create an idyllic setting for a relaxing holiday. The campsite is also ideally located for day trips to Kolmården Wildlife Park or Astrid Lindgren's World in Vimmerby.
