Camping area and beach in South Ostrobothnia

Welcome to Kangasjärvi!

Kangasjärvi Camping is a traditional holiday destination whose story began in the 1970s. Year after year, visitors return to the shores of a clear, spring-fed lake to stay in cottages, camp, enjoy the sauna, swim, fish, and stay at the caravan area.

During the day, Kangasjärvi is a favourite among families with children thanks to its easygoing atmosphere. In the evenings, it becomes a peaceful lakeside idyll, where you can grill sausages at the barbecue hut and listen to the call of the black-throated loon.
