Gamleby Swedish cabins and campground

We decided to do a short cabin stay as a "getaway" this past Summer in the Swedish town of Gamleby. We found Kustcamp Gamleby online. It wasn't on booking.com, instead you can book your stay directly on their website.

We booked 2 nights and decided if we liked it after checking in, we would extend our stay for 2 more nights.

After arriving, we checked in at the reception, which was the location of the store and restaurant as well. The campground is located next to the water and from reception you have a beautiful view of the beach.

After we got to our little cabin (standard size with 4 beds, 1 bedroom, private bathroom, kitchenette and living room area), we decided we liked the location and relaxing here for a few days would be just perfect.

It's always nice to stay in a place more than one night so you can unpack and settle in. Note: Go through cabin checklist to see if anything is missing before unpacking.

Our cabin was in a row of cabins and faced the RV parking. They blocked our view a bit so that, and having to be aware of when RVs or vehicles drove by because kids were out playing were the only downsides of our cabin location.

There was also a row of cabins next to another RV parking area down the hill. This area had it's own shared kitchen and another playground. The kids enjoyed the playarea and trampoline! 

The campground has a garbage/recycling station for your glass, paper and plastics. 

We stocked our fridge after a visit to the grocery store and meals were also available at the campground restaurant.  

It was great to be able to walk down to a beach as opposed to driving over there. This meant, it was pretty easy to take the kids (especially downhill) to the swimming spot and playground.

We really enjoyed our stay here!! It's also an hour from Astrid Lindgren's Värld, which we visited during our stay. Check out my previous blog post about Astrid Lingren's World. 

If you're looking for a nice family cabin getaway near a beach and near Astrid Lindgren's Värld, definitely consider Gamleby Campground and cabins! 

Don't forget your snacks! Especially for road trips and cabin stays!
