Böda Sand: Sweden's Largest Campsite Celebrates 30 Years

Published: 2024-07-18

Böda Sand, Sweden's largest campsite, is celebrating 30 years under the Barkevall family's management.

The site has transformed from a traditional campground into a 'champing' facility, offering activities like golf, spa, yoga, and adventure pools.

With up to 10,000 daily visitors, Böda Sand has seen its revenue increase more than fivefold since 1994. The campsite has become a summer tradition for many, including 81-year-old Bertil Eliasson, who has been visiting for 29 years.

Despite changes in generations and the loss of his wife, Bertil continues to return, describing the camping community as family.

Böda Sand opens in May and closes in September, attracting thousands of families and retirees each year.
