Are you interested in a camping trip in the middle of nature, but sleeping comfortably in bed under a blanket? We have opened a completely new accommodation option for the visitors of Kuninkaansaari island for the summer of 2023. The cozy tent of about 20 square meters is spacious and its room height is three meters. The tent has heating, fridge, lighting, two beds, blankets, pillows and a carpet. There are sun loungers in the yard. The nearby rocks offer a wonderful view of the open sea and the surrounding nature.
The tent is located on the south shore of Kuninkaansaari island next to the old ammunition depot. The depot was built in the 1920s. As recently as the beginning of the 2000s, the building has served as an ammunition warehouse. There is a short trip to the wonderful rocky beach, which have a stunningly beautiful view of the sea in the south direction. Here you can charge your batteries in your own peace or enjoy the nature with a partner or friend.
The walk from Vallisaari, where the Torpedo Bay's guest harbour and the nearest pier for water bus traffic are located, takes about 15 minutes. Kuninkaansaari island's services cannot be reached directly by boat. You must walk to the island from Vallisaari along the embankment between islands. You can transport your goods with carts found in Torpedo Bay. It is about 10 minutes from the tent to the sandy cove of Kuninkaansaari island, where you can take a dip for an evening or morning swim. The nearest dry toilets are located 200 meters from the accommodation.
