Husgärdessjön · Axvall · between Skara and Skövde
With us you stay by a lake in the Valle countryside, with our own bathing spot and a wood-fired sauna on the jetty. From the campsite you can reach the many beautiful hiking trails of the Valle area. We are a small, quiet campsite, and it is exactly that calm many of our guests come back for. Skara Sommarland is five minutes away by car.
01
The campsite lies right by Lake Husgärdessjön, a limestone-rich lake that usually has clear water. You swim from our own bathing area, where even the youngest can splash at the shore, and on the jetty next to it is the wood-fired sauna that you book and heat yourselves. After a while at the barbecue you can end the evening with a dip down by the water.

Skara Sommarland is only five minutes away by car, so you can be there when the park opens. After a day of queues, water slides and crowds it is nice to come back to a smaller, quieter place where you can unwind together by the lake before bedtime.

Travelling with children and grandchildren, or with friends and their families? Then there is Valle Hus. You have the whole house to yourselves: up to 18 people in five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a large common room with kitchen, where everyone gathers around the same table.
Valle Hus
Guests on the pitches and in the camping cabins have toilets and showers in the service building. The camping cabins have no running water. Valle Hus has five bedrooms, four of them with their own bathroom.
One minute of summer with us and in the surrounding area, with the lake, Skara Sommarland, Varnhem and the cranes at Hornborgasjön.
From the campsite a walking trail leads into the Ökull–Borregården nature reserve, and on the point across from us lie the ruins of the medieval castle Axevalla hus.
If you stay with us, you can fish for free from the fishing jetty. Just let us know first, and our fishing rules apply.
Within a quarter of an hour by car you will find Varnhem, the Axevalla harness racing track and Skara Cathedral.
