Home › Campsites
Someone travelling by motorhome or caravan asks what a night costs, how much a pet costs, whether a card gives a discount and until when a booking can still be cancelled free of charge. These decide 50 points out of a hundred.
Score shows how the company does on our comparison criteria, on a 0–100 scale. Rankings cannot be bought.

We scored 6 campsites on 20 metrics. The most important question: are the price of the pitch and cabin, the facilities and the opening season visible without phoning?
In choosing a campsite, the price is not a single number but the sum of many charges: the basic pitch fee, per-person fees, electricity and possible daily rate for a cabin. We compared the transparency of the public websites of well-known Finnish campsites: are pitch and cabin prices, opening season, site facilities and booking and cancellation terms visible without calling or going through the booking system. The comparison does not assess the beauty of the beaches or the quality of service on site, but how openly the information is given in advance.
Accommodation and pitch prices shown publicly (caravan, tent, cabin) (25), cabin levels and equipment described (15), opening season and seasonal or peak-season prices stated (15), site facilities and services stated (toilet, shower, sauna, beach) (15), online booking works without phoning (10), booking and cancellation terms shown (10), business ID (Y-tunnus) shown (10)
Transparency is 30% of the basic metrics, i.e. 15% of the total points · these metrics make up its 100 points · the full formula and the other pillars
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
Who is on the list? Campsites are structurally local: the vast majority of Finland's campsites are single-locality operators with their own website. The list includes nationally known destinations from different parts of Finland, and the operator and ownership of each row are marked in the owner information. Suomi Camping Oy operates several sites (Yyteri in Pori, Härmälä in Tampere, Rauhalahti in Kuopio) and is measured as one operator from the Yyteri website.
What do we measure? The comparison describes the transparency of campsites' public websites: whether pitch and cabin prices, opening season, site facilities and booking and cancellation terms are visible without phoning or going through a booking system. It does not assess the beauty of the beaches or the quality of service on site, but how openly the information is stated in advance.
Why does price visibility carry weight? In some of the areas the exact pitch and cottage prices become clear only in the booking system once dates are selected, while others publish a clear price list. Budgeting the trip is easier when the basic fee, per-person fees and the price of electricity are stated openly.
Every company is measured with the same public formula: half of the points come from buyer's questions and half from basic metrics, which have four pillars: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score. Ranking cannot be bought, and you can see the origin of each point on the company's profile. Read the full methodology →
Some campsites show the exact price only in the booking system, after you have chosen the dates and number of people. In that case the total price consists of a basic fee and per-person fees, sometimes also electricity. In the comparison, this kind of pricing receives a partial score instead of the full score, because the price cannot be seen without going through the booking process.
Usually not in the summer season. Electricity is normally a separate extra charge of about 6.50-10 €/day. In the winter season, some areas include electricity in a higher base fee.
A camping cabin is typically a small, electrified cabin without running water; toilet and shower facilities are in a shared service building. A holiday cabin often has its own toilet, shower and kitchen, and some also have a sauna. A holiday cabin costs more.
In most areas, a caravan pitch and a cabin can be booked online. Tent pitches cannot be booked in advance everywhere, but are allocated on a first-come basis. Some smaller sites accept bookings only by phone or e-mail.
