About Sandvikens Fribad & Camping
Sandvikens Fribad & Camping is a naturist campground in the forests of eastern Värmland, near Filipstad. It sits on the shore of lake Yngen. It has run since 1973 and bills itself as Sweden's warmest naturist campsite. It is linked to Värmlands Naturistförening, and the federation Sveriges Naturistförbund includes it on its map of naturist campsites. Shallow, gently shelving bathing areas run into clear lake water. The site has pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents, as well as rental cabins. Guests mention a shared kitchen, a barbecue area, a washing machine, clean toilets, Wi-Fi and an evening sauna. Hiking trails start nearby. The campground holds events through the summer, such as midsummer, a summer party and a crayfish party. Its website says it is closed for the 2026 season and will reopen on 14 May 2027, with reduced service until early July. Membership of the regional naturist club is optional and gives discounts.
Legal context & local rules
This is a private naturist campground run with Värmlands Naturistförening, so nudity is normal on site. The federation Sveriges Naturistförbund lists it on its naturist map. It is closed for 2026 and scheduled to reopen in May 2027.
Sweden has no specific criminal law prohibiting public nudity. The "Allemansrätten" (right to roam/freedom to roam) tradition historically protects naturism in natural settings. The Public Order Act ("Ordningslagen") Section 6 prohibits only "offensive behaviour," which requires deliberate intent to disturb public peace — prosecution is extremely rare.

Amundön
Stora Amundön is a hilly island off Askim on the southern edge of Gothenburg, inside the Stora Amundö and Billdal archipelago nature reserve. Its trails cross grassy, rolling ground and heath before reaching bare granite cliffs and boulders along the sea, and the island has small sandy coves, rock bathing and a larger bathing place at Drottningviken on the west side. The naturist area is set apart on the south-western point of the island. Like most of the Gothenburg coast it is rock rather than sand: bathers lie on the rocks and swim from them. A hilly trail of about 4.5 km circles the reserve, so reaching the point takes a walk. Travel writers describe it as a well-visited spot used by both experienced and first-time nude bathers, and the west-facing cliffs are a good place to watch the sunset. There is a public toilet but no kiosk, so bring food and drink.
