Stormy weather

If a storm warning has been given for the area or a strong storm rises, we ask you to leave the tents and to go to the car. Ensure that all objects are inside the tent, so they do not fly onto the lake with the wind.

In the event of a storm, please make sure that all your belongings are safely inside the tent so that they do not blow away with the wind into the forest or lake.


Make sure you have your supplies with you:

  • warm clothing, e.g. a sweater and a sweater (also to wear inside a sleeping bag)

  • woollen socks

  • hat

  • gloves

  • personal toiletries


Tentsile tree tent

The condition of the tent and its fixings are checked before each occupancy. If you suspect that the tent is not securely pitched, or if there are signs of damage to any part of the tent, please contact us.

Please do not touch the tent guy ropes on your own. Touching them may cause an accident.

The use of sprayable insecticides is prohibited inside the tent and in the immediate vicinity of the tent. The tent provides protection from insects.

The maximum capacity of the tent is 400 kg.

The tent is intended for a peaceful stay, the tent is not resistant to jumping.

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed inside the tent for both allergy and safety reasons.

Entrance to and access to the Tentsile tent

The entrance to the tent is through an opening at the bottom of the tent. The Tentsile is equipped with a rope ladder that allows you to climb inside the tent.

The hatches on the side of the tent are not intended for climbing and do not act as entrances.

Shoes are left under the tent or put in the main bags inside or outside the tent. Do not move around in shoes inside the tent.

Tent fabric

The tent has a rainproof tent cover which can be temporarily removed. Take care to store the tent fabric. Do not leave the tent fabric outside.

Especially in windy weather, make sure that loose tent fabric does not fly into the lake.

When putting back the rainproof fabric, be aware that the fabric is not symmetrical. Follow the shape of the tent frame and compare it to the fabric. If installed incorrectly, the fabric will not protect the tent properly.


Leaving your accommodation

Departure from the accommodation is no later than 12 noon.

Before your departure:

  • Put the tent fabric in place and close all zips.

  • Make sure no rubbish is left on the ground

  • Make sure you leave all rubbish in the bins.

  • Clean the floor of the tent with a small brush and a scrubbing brush which can be found in the tent

  • Remember to check that you have brought all your own belongings

  • Write in the tent book

  • Put the ladder inside the tent.

Thank you for taking care of the tent and supplies ♥️


Responsibility

Let's take care of ourselves, each other and nature.

We do not recommend the use of tobacco products during your stay. The toxins from smoking are harmful to nature and to the health of the people around us. Cigarette butts containing heavy metals and plastic should not be thrown into the environment. This will also protect the tent from damage.

We do not recommend the use of vaporising insecticides (trade names Ryobi & Termacell). These poisons contain an active substance that is very dangerous for aquatic organisms. We hope that the diverse aquatic life in Upper Keyritty Lake will be allowed to live in a non-toxic environment. Small actions make a difference. Please note that the use of these products is prohibited in the National Park. Please also tell your own hiking friends about this.

Wildfire warnings

When wildfire warnings (en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi) are in effect, fire is only allowed at covered campfire sites that have a flue. We prefer to use a camping stove which is allowed to use during the warnings.

Always use extreme caution when handling fire. The one who lights a fire is always responsible for its safe use.


Washing up

Washing in natural waters is possible. However, we do not recommend using soaps or shampoos in water. Our detergent used at the handwashing station is biodegradable.


Washing dirty dishes

All food waste is taken to the composting toilet before washing the dishes. The washing water is taken from the lake and the dishes are washed in a bucket. Warm washing water can be heated with a camping kettle. A biodegradable detergent is used for washing.

The used dishwater is poured onto the ground sufficiently far from the shore. Dirty dishes should never be washed directly in beach water.

Sightseeing and excursions nearby

You can find camping information in the tent booklet. The reception of the Youth Centre Metsäkartano will guide you when it is open and you will find maps of the Lake Tiilikkajärvi National Park, for example. A comprehensive range of tourist information can be found on the website of the municipality of Rautavaara www.rautavaara.fi/matkailijoille and on the website of the Vaarojen majat www.vaarojenmajat.fi.
