Your Gateway to Northern Adventures
Outpost North is a wilderness basecamp in the heart of the Swedish lake areas of Dalsland & Värmland.
This is Outpost North
This lovely lakeside property has been used as a campsite since the late 70s. The long history proves what we have known for years – this is simply the best place in the region to start your outdoor adventures from.
Dalsland Nordmarken Lake District has became a cornerstone for canoe/kayak enthusiasts from all over Europe, offering the best access to interconnected lakes, serene forests, and a raw connection to nature. Now, as we build upon this legacy, we’re expanding the vision to create a stepping stone for a variety of Northern adventures—tailored to explorers and families in search of unforgettable moments in the wild.
This experience of self-sufficiency—cooking over fires, pitching tents in remote locations, and embracing the primal rhythm of nature—forms the soul of Outpost North.
More than a campsite
Our basecamp is more than a place to rest—it’s where stories converge and adventures are born. After days in the wild you return to the comfort of cozy tipis, can prepare your meals in our guest kitchen, or join our common dinners. Here, modern amenities meet rustic charm: a floating sauna, BBQ areas, fire pits, and a well equipped reception await to make your stay both convenient and memorable.
Whether you are looking to indulge in ice cream after a long paddle, toast with a celebratory beer under the stars, or plan your next adventure, our camp is designed to fulfil the cravings of both body and spirit.
Adventures are waiting for you
Outpost North is a gateway for diverse outdoor experiences. Beyond canoeing, we offer mountain biking through the Nordic woods, guided foraging tours, and relaxing days by the lake.
