Plan your camper trip through Sweden – find your ideal camper in minutes

Road Genius compares campervan rentals across Sweden so you can see prices, vehicle sizes and supplier ratings in one place. Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Kiruna are common pick-up locations that give quick access to coastal routes, forest roads and the Arctic circle. Sweden's broad "Right of Public Access" (Allemansrätten) allows you to enjoy nature, but RVs must follow signed restrictions and avoid private land.

  • Mosquitoes are worst June–August near lakes. Bring insect repellent and netting.
  • Campfires may be banned during drought. Check the county government website for fire risk information.
  • Credit and debit cards work almost everywhere. Many fuel pumps accept cards only after 8:00 PM.

  • In winter carry a snow brush and shovel. Rural roads may not be cleared until 10:00 AM after heavy snowfall.
