Camp Caroli Hobbit Hut

Staying at Camp Caroli in Kiruna was like stepping into a winter wonderland, but with the warmest welcome you could imagine, all thanks to Stephen, our host. He's not just friendly; he goes out of his way to make sure you have an amazing time. On the safari tour, we spotted some incredible wildlife. And Stefan even showed us around the upcoming Camp Caroli 2.0, which sounds like it's going to be an epic place for family fun under the aurora. Honestly, if you're after the best aurora views, this is where you want to be.

The place is right near the lake and it's all covered by snow in winter time, like a wonderland. Stefan and Amanda were very helpful and responded in a timely manner to my questions. The little cozy hut is nice, warm, and clean. Although without toilet inside it's just a few walks away so no problem for me at all. There is no public transportation from the airport or the train station which can take you there so you need to communicate in advance about pick up (extra fee). And if you intend to rent a car you also need to communicated in advance as there is very limited space for parking. 4KM away from the Icehotel and the Church of Jukkasjarvi/Sami Museum (with Reindeer). The activities they helped to book were all enjoyable and fun-most importantly, professional and safe.

Hobbit Hut is a romantic place, small but we got what we expected. Ideal for one or two nights to watch Northern lights. We were lucky and first night we had spectacular view on sky full of stars, half moon and Northern lights. Thanks to Stefan and Jonathan we had beautiful stay full of activities on snow. Wish to come back.

You feel like in a fairlytale sleeping in that Hut. It’s peaceful, calm and warm. Everything was clean, be aware that your private bathroom is 20 meters from the hut. The staff was very nice and lovely, I had great talks, thanks for that! I took two tours: snowmobile and dogsledding. In both they give you warm clothes and make sure you won’t feel cold. We drove through forests, it was very idyllic. It’s worth taking a tour!

The location for sure is very difficult to get to. There’s no bus stop or similar close to it, so the best is to have your own car. Else you take a taxi or the transfer offered by the camp (70€). This also means to make sure to bring food with you. The camp doesn’t offer food and without a car you can’t go to the supermarket. Stefan was so kind to take me to the supermarket. Be prepared of life in the woods!
