Can I book a specific pitch?No, you can’t book a specific pitch number in advance. It will be selected the night before arrival, from the pitches that are available. This creates flexibility and means that many of our guests have more leeway if they decide they want to lengthen their stay. We are happy to receive requests and take pride in trying to accommodate these. This also applies if you want to be placed together. The important thing is to make sure you book in the right accommodation group – see the pricelist – and which numbers are included in that group.

What power cables can I use?The majority of our electric points have EU connectors (CEE) and you will need an EU standard three pin adapter plug and socket on your mains lead. If you don’t have one they can be purchased in reception. For safety reasons no adapters are available to borrow. The wrong electric equipment can cause fires and injuries. A correct cable has a blue plug and is marked CEE. The plastic cable contains three thinner cables with a conductor size of 2.5 mm². The cable should not be longer than 25 metres. An adapter cable can be connected to the cable, usually around 0.5 m but max. 2 metres long. In accordance with the Swedish National Electrical Safety Board’s requirements we and our industry organisation have decided that only 3 core 2.5mm² electric cables and CEE equipment may be used at Åsa Camping & Havsbad and other campsites in Sweden.

Beach life
Vita Sand - White Sands. Just taste those words….they deliver what they promise! Our own beach. Yes, of course everyone else is welcome. It’s not ours like that, just that our hearts beat a little faster for “our” beach. When people first started to camp here around a century ago they put their tents up right on the beach. That’s how it was.
Vita Sand, which is sometimes called Sörvik by local residents, is shallow and child friendly. Ideal bucket, spade, and sandcastle territory! Right next to the beach are low rocks for anyone who doesn’t want to get sand between their toes. There’s a volleyball net, a restaurant and cafe right in the middle of the sand dunes and crab fishing is compulsory.
