Camp Ripan - Reviews

auto-translated: We felt very comfortable here. What started out as 2 nights ended up being 4. Kiruna is a very good starting point for hunting the Northern Lights. It's best to drive up to the national park. Camp Kiruna offers many activities, as well as a restaurant, a lobby, a bar and, for a small fee, a spa. And we particularly liked the toboggan hill on the property. You could borrow toboggan mats without a deposit or hire fee. The sanitary facilities were clean and the sauna could be switched on as required and was included in the price. The pitch was large enough and had a wooden terrace. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall uncomplicated and a great location for excursions.

auto-translated: Kiruna is truly worth a visit. There is so much to experience and learn about an exciting city in rapid development and change. The campsite itself is boring and the sanitary conditions are below average, but ok. There is free access to a fitness centre and a paddle right next door. If you come in winter, you can rent snowmobiles on site. There are beautiful nature areas right on the doorstep and great hiking trails, even if you have a dog with you. The campsite is part of a larger holiday resort with a lot of chalets. There's a nice restaurant and shop in the reception area. There are quite a few guests up in that area. There is a nice bathing area on the campsite but it costs to get in, where you can get a massage as well.

auto-translated: Acceptable for one night. It is more like a pitch with sanitary facilities. If you have one of the back pitches, it's a long walk to the sanitary facilities and kitchen. But everything was clean.

auto-translated: The place is in the middle of Kiruna. To one side are apartment blocks and to the other you look at the excavation of the mine. At night it is well lit.
The pitches is gravelled, but unfortunately had slopes. For this we had a wooden terrace.
The sanitary facilities were clean.

auto-translated: Great place , is suitable as a transit place to Norway, a busy coming and going. Our parking bay had so much slope that a wedge was not enough and was slope in the caravan. The floor wet and spongy however, there were other places with wooden terraces. but more suitable for small caravans or Wohnmobule. Here I would come back only in an emergency.

auto-translated: In winter a 1a place with huge leisure offer. Sauna in the service house incl. New for us was the Aurora Spa.

auto-translated: Camping in the middle of the city....only place in Kiruna. To stay overnight and to explore the surroundings good alternative. Sanitary facilities are clean.

Campsite is directly at city center. Tent sites are designated at a hill side, lack of horizontal areas. Modern sanitary facilities, shared showers with free hot water. Sauna is included. Large indoor kitchenette with two stoves, microwave owen, four dining tables. No free Wifi when we was there. Not a relaxing atmosphere but good for one night

auto-translated: The worst stay in 2 months: Almost 50SEK above average, Saturday evening Loud party music from adjacent residential area (for Sweden almost skyscrapers) until after 1am, as compensation from Monday morning 7am jackhammer sounds from the demolition of the campsite's own pool. W-LAN only in and around the buildings. Only ray of hope: Kiruna town centre within walking distance.

stayed here 1 night while passing through. paid 280 for standard campsite for rv. premium is something like 370 and has wooden platform and is closer to sanitary facilities, but you can walk 3 minutes for 100 sek less. facilities are a bit older. shower is 1 large room with dividing walls between showers and a curtain, but you must still change clothes in front of people. (separate shower rooms for men/women) shower is included in price of campsite, so no coins needed. press button, hot water for 60 seconds, when over, press again. Also sauna available, but we did not use it. As far as I can tell there is no wifi available in the camping area, only in hotel lobby. Hotel restaurant is very good. It is the best part of staying here. 2 main dishes, 2 glasses of wine, 1 dessert was around 1000 sek, but it was very good. There is also a playground and Mini-Golf available.

auto-translated: The campsite is well situated for one night. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Sauna must be announced before 14:00. Kitchen was clean. WC should be better cleaned. For the washing machine you have to reserve a time window of 2.5 hours 50 SEK.

auto-translated: We join the recession of jheidorn. We had a deluxe pitch with wooden deck and Wlan. In the low season we paid 375 SEK for it. For one night it was okay for us, but we wouldn't have stayed there any longer. In the evening we had dinner in the redesigned restaurant and have to say, even if it was a bit more expensive, it was worth the price.

auto-translated: In transit out of season. For one night okay. San. Facilities clean, but no privacy. Many hikers, kitchen well equipped. Approx. 30 euros for a night for 2 people, WoMo and electricity. Place at the city limits, not so attractive in my opinion.

auto-translated: Only place directly in Kiruna.
Gravel or asphalt courts, partly terraced, everything seems very impersonal.
Little occupied in the preseason.
Sanitary facilities no longer up to date (shared showers).
For tents conditionally suitable, since no meadow places available.
Ideal for visiting Kiruna, city center within a few minutes walking distance.
Low season price including showers with 290 SEK is OK.
