Stay with us during Power Big Meet (Big Swap Meet)
During Power Big Meet, which is now called Big Swap Meet, Lidköping fills up with American cars and the people who love them. Many of our guests that weekend choose to stay with us precisely because we are a little way from the hustle and bustle, with plenty of room for the rig and a lake to take a dip in on the evening. It takes about half an hour by car to Hovby.
Room for the rig, and calm in the evening
Our camping pitches are 10 × 15 metres, and because the campsite has plenty of space, several of the pitches give you considerably more room than that. So there is space for both the caravan and the car beside it, and electricity is included on all pitches. Many guests during Power Big Meet arrive with impressive rigs, and here they stand on grass with the lake right next to them. If you have an extra-large rig, get in touch after booking and we will try to give you one of the larger pitches.
When you come back from Hovby in the evening, a small campsite without an entertainment programme is waiting. You can take a dip from our bathing spot, light the barbecue, or book the wood-fired sauna on the jetty and rinse off the dust of the day.
Book early. The weekend is well booked, so if you want to stay next to your friends, it is best to book at the same time and contact us afterwards, and we will place you close to each other as far as space allows.
