First Camp Skutberget-Karlstad Hotel

Review by hotel critic

Review of First CampAs a coastal hotel specialist with an environmental science background, I recently visited First Camp to assess its value against luxury offerings. While we did not stay in the initially assigned bungalow due to discrepancies in its description, we found value in our experience. The higher-end cabins we occupied were cozy, equipped with modern necessities, and the overall ambiance merged seamlessly with the surrounding lake and woods. It was conveniently located near the highway, which is a plus for travelers. For those who prefer a more rustic experience, the basic cabin we rented was clean, comfortable, and notably quiet at night, ensuring restful sleep. Shared facilities like bathrooms and showers were impeccably maintained. The option of a shared kitchen, complete with cookware and kitchen utensils, can be a financial perk aiming to dine in. First Camp effectively combines accessibility with comfort at a reasonable price point, ultimately presenting a wise choice against more traditional luxury accommodations, especially for those keen on an immersive nature experience. While First Camp might not scream opulence, its approach to comfort and practicality deserves recognition for the savvy traveler.
