The family behind Valle Camping
Valle Camping is a family business at Per-Larsgården by Husgärdessjön, between Skara and Skövde. Those of us who work here – family, friends and summer staff – have our roots in the area and are fond of the place. We hope you notice that while you stay with us.
The family and the farm
Per-Larsgården was a farm like many others in the Valle countryside. In 1984 Skara Sommarland opened a few kilometres away, and tourists began finding their way here. Two years later, in 1986, Marianne and Rolf Falk opened the campsite by the lake.
Since 2020 their son Linus has run the campsite together with Åse. We have given up the farming, but we still look after the forest, and the wood that heats the sauna comes from the farm's own land.
We are a small business and help each other with most things. You will meet us or one of our colleagues at reception, behind the lawnmower or down by the jetty, and those of us who answer the phone know what every pitch looks like.
The campsite has been in the family since 1986, and we know how much a quiet week by the lake can mean. That is why we want it to feel easy to come here, and for someone always to be at hand when you need them. Say hello when you see us – we would love to hear how you are getting on.
The campsite today
Today there are camping pitches, a tent area, motorhome stands, camping cabins and Valle Hus, which is let as a whole property all year round. Down by the lake are the bathing jetty, the wood-fired sauna, the fishing jetty and the fire pit, and the Ökull–Borregården nature reserve begins right where the campsite ends.
We have chosen to stay a small campsite. Here nature and calm are given room instead of minigolf, trampolines and chewing-gum machines, and that is why many of our guests come back year after year.
