What could be better than a summer day filled with action-packed fun? Our summer shop has something to do for everyone.
Enjoy a sunny summer's day on our child-friendly beach! The shallow, sandy beach allows even smaller children to enjoy the water. The beach area also features a play area for kids and a separate firepit that can be used freely.
Salty snacks, ice cream, and cold beverages for the beach can be purchased from the campsite restaurant, store, or reception.
Guests can also hire one of the lakeside saunas, and what could be better than taking a refreshing dip in Lake Kallavesi straight from the heat of the sauna. Ask about available sauna slots from the campsite reception.
In our area we have three firepits: in Kivilampi, next to the beach and also Nuottakota.
Price 18 € / 50 min. Bookings from the reception.
Firewood is sold in the Summer Store. At Nuottakota, firewood is included in the price.
Our campsite offers convenient access to jogging paths that crisscross around the surrounding area. As the paths are illuminated, they can also be enjoyed on darkening autumn nights.
The Katiskaniemi nature path, which is mostly situated within a nature reserve, can be accessed from Spa Hotel Rauhalahti. The 2.5-kilometer path follows the Katiskaniemi shore.
In the winter, the campsite offers access to a solid network of ski trails that can be followed all the way to Kuopio passenger harbor.

Puijo Tower
When visiting Kuopio and visiting us, we also recommend stopping at the top of Savo's most famous landmark, Puijo Tower. Puijo Tower rises a whopping 224 meters above Kallavesi, thanks to Puijo Hill and it can feel wild! There is also a revolving tower restaurant in Puijo Tower, which features the flavors of the Savo region in its menu.
Puijo also has excellent outdoor terrain with a frisbee golf course. Puijo is the first in Kuopio to open a paid first snow ski track every year.

You can buy traditional food dishes at the market, and in summer the market comes to life and there is a wide variety of cafés, restaurants and stalls.
