KustCamp Gamleby

At KustCamp Gamleby, there's no need to choose between a seaside holiday and a pool holiday. KustCamp Gamleby is a four-star family campsite beautifully located by a peaceful sea bay, approximately 45 minutes from Astrid Lindgren's World.

The family-friendly lagoon swimming area, sandy beach and 10-metre-high diving tower are now joined by Solviken, the campsite's pool area with water heated to 28°C and a relaxing holiday resort atmosphere.

Around the pool, palm trees, olive trees, exotic plants and sun loungers create the feeling of being somewhere much further south. And the weather doesn't have to decide how the holiday is spent. Thanks to Sweden's largest retractable pool roof, tropical temperatures can be enjoyed whatever the weather. When the sun shines, the roof opens, and when the weather doesn't cooperate, the pool holiday continues under cover.

A swim in the sea one moment, a dip in the 28°C pool the next.

Two restaurants by the sea and pool

The campsite has two restaurants, each with its own setting and atmosphere.

Pelles Krog is located right by the beach, overlooking Gamleby Bay, with a focus on local and locally sourced ingredients.

At Solviken, there is also a restaurant and café open to everyone, whether visiting the pool or not. Here, guests can relax by the pool and enjoy food, drinks, café treats and a tempting selection of ice cream desserts.

Activities on land and water

There is plenty to do between swims. Children can have fun on the large jumping pillow, while the whole family can challenge each other to a game of traditional mini golf or try Crazee Golf, a playful mini golf experience with unusual and interactive obstacles.

The campsite's multi-purpose sports courts offer opportunities to play football, basketball, padel and floorball.

For those who want to make the most of the seaside location, Gamlebyviken (Gamleby Bay) can be explored by kayak, family kayak, stand-up paddleboard, pedal boat or motorboat. The bay is also known for its rich fish life, making it a great destination for guests who enjoy fishing during their holiday.

Camping and accommodation by the sea

KustCamp Gamleby offers camping pitches in a scenic, hilly setting, several with sea views, as well as dedicated pitches for motorhomes. The campsite has two modern service buildings with comfortable facilities.

Cabins and mobile homes are available in different sizes, ranging from 10 to 70 sqm, with varying levels of comfort, making it easy to find accommodation to suit different needs.

All with the sea, pool, activities and holiday atmosphere close by.
