Camping summer in Västerbotten with almost fully booked places

It has become a real camping summer in Västerbotten at all the big campsites in Lycksele, Umeå and Skellefteå.

- We've been pretty much fully occupied every day for two weeks now, which is great fun, of course, says Eva-Maria Björk, unit manager at the campsites in Skellefteå and Byske.

The Norwegians dominate

Without competition, Norwegians are the largest group that applies to Skellefteå's campsites. Eva-Maria Björk estimates that this could be up to 95 percent of the campers.

Even at Nydala Camping in Umeå, Norwegians have increased enormously compared to last year by 24 percent. The booking situation during July is a total of 8 percent greater than last year and now during the football festival the campsite is fully booked.

- We have a few tent sites left and campsites without electricity, notes Ingela Lundkvist, commercial manager at First Camp.

Motor week fills the campsite

According to reception manager Mikael Stenman, Ansia in Lycksele has had an incredible number of visitors since the end of May. Now the Motor Week also fills the campsite.

- The cottages are fully booked for several weeks to come, it seems, he says.
