Introduction
In the Vartiosaari camping area, you can enjoy summer days by the sea.
The camping area is located on Vartiosaari island in eastern Helsinki, near Laajasalo and Tammisalo. The camping area is intended for use by Helsinki-based youth organisations, youth groups and the municipality’s residents for various camps and events.
At the heart of the camping area is the beautiful, white two-storey Villa Furubacka, completed in 1908. The area also features a grill shelter, a beach, rowing boats and pedalos as well as a floating sauna.
If you follow a trail, you can get to a lookout spot on an outcrop to view the striking landscapes of this scenically valuable area and to a nature trail to study the special characteristics of the island.

Vartiosaari is also home to the Youth Island Gallery, which is open during June and July. For example, groups that visit the Vartiosaari camping area can make independent excursions to the Youth Island Gallery or include its services in their programme. You can explore the activities of the Youth Island Gallery here.
