What to pack for a glamping stay at Kalliokumpu Eco Lodge:
Yay! Are you almost on your way to us and the last thing you have to do is pack up for your "hideaway"? We want to make your glamping stay as easy as possible.
Each glamping accommodation has almost everything you could need: fully made beds and towels, wood stove heating, cups, plates, cutlery, soap & shampoo, coffee and tea making facilities. In the Woodcuisine, the lodge offers you additional things such as: charcoal grill and gas stove, pans, pots, cooking and kitchen utensils (knives, sieves, spatulas...), spices (salt, pepper, sugar, paprika, oil ect.), matches , bottle opener, washing-up liquid, tea towels, chopping boards.
What you should bring with you:
Bon appetit - being outside makes you hungry. And good food contributes to well-being.
Your Journal - A stay at the lodge gives you the opportunity to relax and reflect. He often makes you think outside the box. Nature is a proven way to boost your creativity. So be sure to pack paper and pencil. Or try to capture the beautiful landscape with a pen or a few words. Here's your chance!
Dress appropriately for the Weather - Out here by the sea, the weather can change quickly. Kustavi is known as the sunniest area in Finland (which we can confirm), but a rain jacket and sun hat, as well as a (fleece) sweater and layers against low temperatures at night (recommended in May, August & September) are recommended . In addition, sturdy shoes for forest and rock tours as well as easy to put on slippers (e.g. crocks, garden shoes) for short distances out of the tent. For a visit to the sauna or swimming in the sea or lake, a bathing suit or swimming trunks should not be missing.
That one book - you know, the book that might be on your bedside table. From which you read the first two chapters, but never further. Now is the time. Your stay at Kalliokumpu Island Lodge is the perfect place to get comfortable and read without the distractions of everyday life.
Your Camera - We don't recommend spending all your time in front of one of your devices, but there is something magical about the scenery around Kalliokumpu Island Lodge. It's really something special when you can capture just a small part of it and take it home with you. When you're feeling stressed at home, having a snapshot or nice shot hanging up can give you a sense of calm. And if you like stargazing, try photographing the night sky. This even works with most smartphones :-)
Other equipment - water bottle; washcloth; ear plugs against the wind in case there is a storm and it bothers you; biodegradable soap and cosmetics with minimal fragrance (very important if you want to spot wildlife); Flashlight or headlamp.
What you should not bring with you:
Alcohol; hair dryers; High heels.
