How can I sign up for a camp?
Meriharju Nature House and Camp Centre allows youth groups, youth organisations and associations to book its facilities for camps. The staff of Meriharju Nature House do not organise their own camps in the facilities.
Is there a kiosk nearby?
No, but Café Kampela is located nearby. It is a popular resting place among hikers and boaters. Further information: Kahvila Kampela
Should I be afraid of ticks?
On the camping island, it is possible to run into ticks living in the grass, particularly in the summer when people wear cropped trousers and do not wear long boots. Because of this, the camps hold ‘tick checks’ during sauna bathing, for example.
If a tick is found, it must be removed immediately to eliminate the risk of disease using tick tweezers available from pharmacies. The removal is a quick and painless procedure. Tick tweezers can be found in the island’s first aid kits and are available from the island’s staff.
