I had a great experience. If someone is looking for a place far away from the fast life, and needs his own space to do some own work, and experiencing something different this is the place. When I was there it was a midnight sun which is something really cool to experience. Try to be social and curios, that's what I did, and made friendships for life with the family members and the managers. I will come back for sure.

The camping is a really nice place where you can relax and take a breath from the fast life or just to connect more with nature, they made me felt part of the family, they were super respectful with the working times, the days off, and super helpful with anything I could need, they really cared about my experience, I highly recommend this experience, it was mainly housekeeping tasks but simple, as well as in reception which was not so much work bc of the season, you can also live the Sami culture, I left happy from the place :)

Hannah and Enriqueta are very nice people. You will be with them. I only have good words to describe them. It is fun to work at the campsite because you can interact with people from outside, and learn about other cultures.
