The evening after the park
Just five minutes from the car park at Skara Sommarland, our swimming spot by the lake is waiting! There is a swimming jetty and a small beach where even the youngest children can splash and swim.
And as many families with children know, a whole day in the water park is not always enough – the children often want to keep swimming when you get back to the campsite! By the lake there is also a barbecue area where you can end the day together. If you grown-ups want to relax a bit more, you can book our wood-fired sauna out on the jetty.
Valle Camping is a small, family-friendly campsite with no organised activities or entertainment programme. Instead, swimming, play and time together are at the centre. July is the busiest time at the campsite, with many families with children enjoying the summer.

Check-in with us
Cabin and Valle Hus from 16:00, camping pitch from 15:00
Some of our guests arrive by bicycle. Road 49 past the campsite has no cycle path today, so do not cycle along it. There are minor roads from Skara, Skövde and Varnhem, but they are detours and therefore longer than the distances by road: it is 10 km to Skara, 16 km to Skövde and 4 km to Varnhem. The Swedish Transport Administration is building a walking and cycling path as part of the rebuilding of road 49. Bicycles
Our tips
- Stay two nights if you can
Then you have time for a whole day in the park without rushing, and a day by the lake or on a trip around the Valle area.
- Be there when the park opens
With only a five-minute drive it is easy to beat the longest queues.
- Go in June
Queues are often shorter then than in the middle of summer.
- Chilly in the water?
At the park you can rent a wetsuit, so the children can keep riding.
- Arriving late?
No problem. At the campsite you check in yourself, and for the camping cabins and Valle Hus you get instructions before arrival.
If it rains
Grin and bear it and go anyway! You get wet in the water park regardless, and on a rainy day the queues are often shorter. If you would rather do something else, there is plenty nearby:
