"We were the only Nordic people there. The camping site is absolutely stunning, and we would have loved to stay another day if we had more time. The food from the Pub/Restaurant was delicious, and they even offered a great breakfast option. Plus, you can easily walk to Cape Kolka along the shoreline."
