About this place SFC-Hietajärvi

SFC-Hietajärvi is a camping and caravan site run by an SF-Caravan association. It sits beside Lake Hietajärvi at Kiihtelystie 201 in Kiihtelysvaara, a rural part of Joensuu in North Karelia. It is a plain mainstream campsite for caravanners, motorhomes and tents. It has no LGBTQ+ angle beyond the usual relaxed Finnish attitude toward guests. Expect lakeside pitches, a lakeside sauna in the Finnish tradition, and quiet forest all around. You'll need a car, since central Joensuu is around half an hour's drive away. It rates 4.6 on Google from almost 400 reviews. Opening is seasonal at most Finnish campsites, so check the website or call 044 3237227 before you travel.

Great, well-maintained place! Really clean toilets, saunas and kitchen facilities. Men and women have their own saunas at the same time. Also a smoke sauna and a sauna on request. Nice playground for children. There is a barbecue hut of course. Good beach for swimming. Nice terrain.

Lovely place. Friendly reception, clear good spots. New clean maintenance building, from the sauna along the pier to the shallow shore. Good steam baths. There was so much to do, everything was found and the pedal car became a favorite. Too bad it was a rainy evening. Definitely again sometime.
