Imagine a quiet and peaceful small lake surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves, few birds swimming in the lake and only a handful of other people around you in the camping area. That\u2019s the exact view that I had on a road trip few years ago, it was amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning for the trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the autumn of 2022, me and my partner decided that we wanted to go for a road trip to Salla and its surroundings. We had already been to Lapland many times, but not in the eastern parts of it. Previously we had stayed in small rental cottages, but this time we wanted to try something new, which was sleeping in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While planning for the trip, we came across with a camping area called Sallainen Cottages Caravan and decided that it would be a perfect place for us for the few nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camping area had everything you could need, whether you are travelling with a camper or just a tent. Plenty of space for camping, toilet facilities, saunas, small kitchen, few campfire sites, a beach and a boat available for renting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
