Camping in the Finnish Archipelago
The Archipelago off the coast of Western and Southern Finland has more islands than any other archipelago in the world. We argue that it is also the most beautiful. Consisting of over 20 000 islands and a large national park with vibrant wildlife, the archipelago scenery offers an incredible setting for a low-budget camping holiday.
Our group of young Finns spent a weekend kayaking and camping in the archipelago. They also did a day trip by boat to the see the tallest lighthouse in the Nordic countries called Bengtskär.
