First Camp Stensö-Kalmar

First Camp - Stensö Camping in Kalmar is centrally located in relation to the city, beach and attractions. The staff is very welcoming and service minded. But then all the positives end. The place is very expensive (640 kr. per night) - in addition, the price is variable and cannot be disclosed in advance. The more guests there are on the pitch, the higher the price. In return, you will be allowed to queue for toilets, where there is also a lack of toilet paper. The area to which you are assigned a seat when you have not booked in advance is also very dark.

We really liked this site from the moment we arrived. There are multiple small camping areas spread about separated by trees so even though it’s a large site, it doesn’t feel it. The sites are also a good size. There are four service blocks so you are never too far away from facilities. The facilities nearest us were modern and well maintained. Reception staff were very helpful and there is a small well stocked shop and a bistro that we didn’t use. The site has multiple water views and wide gravel pathways for running, biking and hiking. Our only issue was with the positioning of some vehicles which seemed to breach the suggested guidelines but was never checked or corrected, meaning some neighbours were a bit close for comfort and privacy. Still a really good place to stay and recommended as in an excellent position close to town.

Le plus compliqué quand vous entrez est de trouver une place. Tout le monde se met dans tous les sens et comme il n’y a pas de place définie: bon courage. Les sanitaires sont corrects mais le matin j’ai eu le droit à une douche très tiède. Et mon mari chaude car il l’a prise plus tôt. Alors pour le prix très excessif 440 sek pour 2 avec électricité, je m’attendais à avoir au moins de l’eau chaude!!! Sinon personnel sympathique
