Nallikari Holiday Village

auto-translated: We stayed at the site for eight nights in early June to visit Oulu, the 2026 European Capital of Culture. What impressed us most were the excellent cycle paths in Oulu, which (presumably) link all the city’s key locations. The site was no exception. We were in the city centre in just a few minutes.
The city is full of cosy spots, and although the locals make good use of them, there are still plenty of others where you can have a barbecue, have a chat or do whatever you fancy whilst hanging out.
Ideally, of course, we had our bikes with us.
The site is situated in the middle of a local recreation area with a huge beach, several ice-cream stalls, a bistro, an amusement park and various sports and play areas. Some of the play areas are fenced off so that small children cannot wander off. For example, a dance event with 1,000 participants only partially filled the beach; only the car park was full.
The professionally organised site itself has everything you need, including paved pitches for huge motorhomes, which can then drive on without having to turn round. A popular meeting place in the evenings is the public sauna. However, just three toilets each for women and men seemed to be sufficient.
The only Wi-Fi ‘hotspot’ is presumably at reception, so it cannot be accessed from most pitches.
Smaller pitches are slightly cheaper, but you’re not allowed to put out an awning there.
Unfortunately, the site is largely frequented by people in motorhomes who arrive in the evening and rush off again the next morning.

auto-translated: A large site with a variety of pitches, including grass, gravel and tarmac. Well-maintained toilet and shower facilities with a sauna. There is also a small dog run. Plenty of leisure activities on offer.

auto-translated: There are asphalt pitches and grass pitches, several toilet blocks, not all of them contemporary but whole and reasonably clean. We were on an asphalt pitch and for our storms we had grass. There is plenty to see and do in Oulu, as is the beach nearby. Again, nice cycle paths.
