Eurotrip 16, 2026 – Day 8, Arnas Marina to Steno Havsbad camping

Summary

After a balmy evening BBQ, cooking fish from the lake at Arnas Marina, we headed further North today. Temperatures had now dropped to 9.5C and the heavens opened. All day.

We had identified an aire / Stellplatz at Norrsundet but given the atrocious weather, we didn’t fancy spending even five minutes outside figuring out how we should pay, or queuing for the single toilet.

Instead we, looked for a 5 star campsite and decided upon Camping Steno Havsbad.

271 miles in 7.5 hours with three breaks and reported mpg of 38.4

Camping Steno Havsbad is a huge site and some of the reviews slate it as one of the most expensive in Sweden. We did however, call ahead to check prices and availability. All seemed OK, particularly since we didn’t require an electric hookup.

On arriving at the site, we discovered it was operating the ACSI scheme and the total charge was SEK 28 for the night including electricity, great excellent value.

Availability was certainly not an issue!
