Gröne Backe Camping & Stugor — Lakeside family campsite in Dalsland

Setting beside the lakes and pines

Gröne Backe sits in the intimate, lake-cut landscape of Dalsland close to Ed, where scattered woodland gives way to small bays and shallow lakes. The site’s shoreline character — reeds, wooden jetties and grassy slopes — frames water-based activities and creates a quietly domestic atmosphere rather than a commercial resort feel. Pine copses and open meadows divide the camping fields, so pitches and cabins feel sheltered and visually varied.

Accommodation and on-site facilities

The property offers a mix of traditional camping plots, hardstanding spaces for RVs and simple timber stugor (cabins) with basic comforts suited to couples, families and small groups. Shared service buildings provide showers and toilets, and there’s an on-site kiosk/shop at reception for essentials and small groceries. Leisure features listed for the site include a floating sauna, canoe hire, a miniature-golf course and children's play areas that make the campsite family-friendly through the seasons.

Activities and nature experiences

Water is the central draw: short canoe trips, quiet paddle routes and fishing from small jetties or shorelines let you explore the island-dotted lakes at your own pace. Woodland trails and local minor roads invite gentle cycling and walks; the surrounding Dalsland countryside is known for its small lakes, exposed rock, and richly varied birdlife. On-site amusements such as miniature golf and informal play spaces provide low-key daytime options for families.

Character and seasonal rhythm

Gröne Backe’s tone is practical and unpretentious — a working campsite rather than a boutique retreat. Facilities are oriented toward self-sufficient stays: simple cabins, camper services and a reception shop. During the high season the site tends to feel lively with families, paddlers and weekenders; outside the main months the setting is quieter and better suited to longer, reflective stays in nature.

Local context and practical notes

Located near the small town of Ed, the campsite offers easy access to local shops and light services without losing its rural backdrop. The area is a useful base for short day trips into the broader Dalsland lake system and for visiting nearby small attractions. Expect modest, region-appropriate service levels rather than full resort amenities — the site’s strengths are location, straightforward hospitality and direct access to water and woodland.

What distinguishes this campsite

What marks Gröne Backe out is the combination of lakeside access, a range of simple accommodation types and family-minded facilities in a compact, green setting. The floating sauna and canoe options give the place a distinctly Scandinavian outdoor focus, while the presence of a reception shop and on-site leisure activities keeps stays convenient for families and travellers who prefer a self-directed, nature-centred holiday.
