Info
Summary of reviewsFirst Camp Kolmården-Norrköping offers guests a delightful experience with its prime location and hospitable staff. Situated near Kolmården Zoo, this camp provides a serene and picturesque environment, perfect for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. Visitors cherish the stunning views of the water and bay, with cozy cabins by the lake enhancing the tranquil atmosphere.

Guests consistently praise the friendly and accommodating nature of the staff, noting their responsiveness and good service, which contribute positively to the overall experience. Although there are occasional communication issues through booking platforms, direct contact with staff usually resolves needs effectively.

However, cleanliness in the cabins has been a concern for certain visitors, who have noted accumulations of dust, dirt, and, at times, black mold on mattresses. The presence of ants and residues left by previous guests highlight the need for more thorough cleaning. Despite these issues, visitors find basic comfort in cabin amenities, though they may need to perform some cleaning themselves upon arrival.

When it comes to sleeping arrangements, guests have a mixed experience. Upgraded cabins feature surprisingly comfortable bunk beds and offer beautiful views, enriching the stay for those who choose them. In contrast, standard cabins face challenges with hard mattresses, uncomfortable sleeping setups, and safety concerns regarding bunk beds. While upgrades significantly improve the bedding experience, standard accommodations may not provide the most restful night.

Overall, First Camp Kolmården-Norrköping offers a scenic, family-friendly destination with engaging staff, ideal for exploring nearby natural attractions, though some attention to cleanliness and bedding comfort may enhance future visits.

Many reviewers highlight its proximity to Kolmården Zoo, making it an ideal spot for visitors planning a trip to the popular attraction.

Beds
First Camp Kolmården-Norrköping offers a mixed experience when it comes to beds, particularly in the cabins. Guests frequently mention that bunk beds in upgraded cabins are surprisingly comfortable, providing some relief despite their typical reputation for being hard or uncomfortable. The upgraded cabins also boast beautiful views, adding to the overall positive experience for those who opt for them.

However, the standard cabins present challenges with hard mattresses and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, such as sofa beds and worn sleeping spaces. Safety concerns are noted with inadequate protections on bunk beds, particularly for children. Although some guests appreciated the comfort of the bunk beds, especially in upgraded cabins, others faced discomfort due to hard beds and dirty mattresses. While upgrades seem to improve the bedding experience significantly, standard accommodations might leave some guests seeking a better night's rest.

Cleanliness
When considering a stay at First Camp Kolmården-Norrköping, visitors should be aware that cleanliness can be a concern based on guest feedback. The cabins, though conveniently equipped with their own toilets, have been described as inadequately cleaned with several mentions of dust, dirt, and even black mold on mattresses. Guests have reported the presence of ants and residues left by previous visitors, such as hair ties and children's books, suggesting a need for more thorough cleaning before each season commences. Bathrooms, too, appear to be lacking in cleanliness, with dusty beds and dirty mattresses posing further issues. Though the cabin size and features offer basic comfort, travelers should be prepared for potentially needing to do some of their own cleaning upon arrival. It is recommended that future visitors arrive with an understanding that while the cabins may provide essential amenities, maintaining cleanliness might be necessary to ensure a pleasant stay.
