I was informed at all times, even they wrote to me because there was a change of camper due to circumstances and they notified me in case I didn't agree. There was no problem, I'm very grateful because it's a pleasure to travel like this. Thank you very much.

Exploring Sweden by camper van offers a unique freedom to discover its varied landscapes, dynamic cities, and preserved natural parks. Whether you have a week or three weeks, here are three iconic itineraries suited to different durations, allowing you to fully enjoy southern Sweden and its riches, between coasts, forests, and cultural sites.
In 7 to 10 days: The west coast and Gothenburg, immersion between sea and nature
Start your journey in Malmö, a dynamic city in the south, then head towards Helsingborg before following the Halland coast, renowned for its beaches and nature reserves. Continue to Gothenburg, where you can enjoy the archipelago and its islands accessible by boat. Then explore the Bohuslän coast, with its traditional fishing villages like Smögen and Fjällbacka, perfect for camper van stops. This itinerary combines nature, culture, and local gastronomy, ideal for a first contact with Sweden by van, with suitable roads and many camping spots.
Crossing the South to discover the islands and nature in 14 days
Over two weeks, deepen your discovery by adding stops like Marstrand, famous for its fortress and coastal landscapes, then Lysekil and Fiskebäckskil, before heading to the island of Öland, known for its windmills and nature reserves. Continue to Kalmar, a historic city on the east coast, then take the ferry to Gotland, a gem of the Baltic Sea with its medieval villages. This itinerary offers a nice balance between cities, heritage, and nature, with well-developed camper van parking options in these major tourist destinations.
Complete loop of 21 days in southern Sweden, between lakes, forests, and coasts
For a longer trip, opt for a loop starting in Malmö, crossing Helsingborg, the Halland coast, Gothenburg, and the Bohuslän coast, then extending to Lake Vättern and the charming towns of Jönköping and Växjö.

Explore Sweden by camper van or RV: freedom, nature, and seasons
Sweden offers a unique travel experience by camper van or RV, with wild landscapes, sparkling lakes, and total freedom of movement, along with a marked seasonality that influences weather, activities, and prices.
When to go to Sweden by camper van
The best time to travel by camper van in Sweden depends on your preferences. The months of June to August are ideal for enjoying the midnight sun and long days, especially in the Swedish Lapland region or around Lake Vänern. If you prefer to avoid crowds and benefit from lower prices, opt for the shoulder season (April-May) or the late season (September-November), where the autumn colors of Abisko National Park or the first spring light of Gotland offer exceptional landscapes.
Weather and seasonal adaptation
The weather in Sweden varies greatly depending on the regions and seasons. In summer, the south of the country, such as the Skåne region, enjoys a mild and pleasant climate, while the north, around Kiruna, remains cooler and rainier. In winter, temperatures can drop to -30°C in some areas, particularly in the Jämtland region, requiring suitable equipment for the vehicle and clothing. It is essential to check local weather conditions before setting off, especially if you plan to cross the Bohuslän coast or venture into national parks.
Seasonality of prices and attendance
Prices for renting a camper van or RV and pitches in Sweden vary by season. In summer, especially around Stockholm or on the coast of Gotland, demand is high and prices increase. In contrast, the periods of April-May or September-November offer more favorable rates and lower attendance, allowing you to fully enjoy the landscapes and wild spots, such as those around Lake Mälaren or the forests of Dalarna.

Traveling by camper van and RV in Sweden
Sweden offers a unique vanlife experience thanks to its public right of access called « Allemansretten », which allows you to freely access nature. However, this freedom comes with strict rules that are essential to know for a smooth journey.
Driving and road regulations
In Sweden, traffic rules are similar to those in France, with driving on the right and overtaking on the left. Speed limits are 50 km/h in urban areas, 70 km/h outside built-up areas, and you must maintain a significant safety distance, especially in front of trucks. From November 1 to April 30, snow tires are mandatory, and you will be liable to insurance in case of an accident without this equipment. When driving alone in the forest, stay in the middle of the road to avoid hitting wildlife.
The law « Terrängkörningslagen » strictly regulates the circulation of motor vehicles in nature: it is prohibited to drive off-road. In national parks and nature reserves, motor vehicles are generally prohibited, although some parking areas allow parking and overnight stays. On private roads marked « Ej husbilar », access for camper vans is explicitly forbidden.
Sleeping and connecting legally
Wild camping is allowed in Sweden in public places, provided you do not cause any damage to nature and respect certain restrictions. You cannot park in forests, on beaches, in enclosures, or on lawns. However, you can park on asphalt, gravel, or other durable surfaces next to a natural area. In rest areas and marked parking lots on the road network, you can stay for 24 hours on weekdays or until Monday if you arrive on the weekend.
To spend the night on private property, you must ask the owner's permission and stay at least 150 meters from dwellings. This minimum distance is tolerated even on private properties, provided you respect the places. Note that local rules may vary by region, and some municipalities enforce stricter regulations than others.
Local tips and safety
Before traveling, ensure your vehicle displays a sticker indicating your nationality if it is not shown on the license plate. Always have your driver's license, insurance certificate, and vehicle registration available. In Sweden, respecting the « Allemansretten » means you have access to nature, but you must also preserve it: leave no trace, respect wildlife and flora, and always ask for permission before settling on private property.
Be aware that there may be specific local rules and regulations depending on Swedish regions. Check with local authorities or regional tourist offices before your arrival to know any particular restrictions. This responsible approach will allow you to fully enjoy the freedom that Sweden offers to camper van and RV travelers.

Quick rack report
A personalized support, Marléne is very responsive and available. She was able to find us the best price and gave us good advice. I recommend.
I had an emergency and called, contacted politely and tried to reach them through all of their forms of social media and have also emailed them several times, over many days. This company is basically uncontactable. All they do is take your money online, (the wrong amount) they make errors and mistakes and then - nothing. Sorry to say but I hate them.
The service is good, no surprises.
Very good welcome, explanations, and follow-up. Price too high.
Indeed, it was the first time and we greatly appreciated the professionalism of this company, the welcoming of customers, the cleanliness of the facilities... just one small downside: we waited from 2 PM to 5:30 PM before we could leave with the vehicle because many people were waiting like us.
Good contact, but should give some advice on road conditions for the autumn period.
I went through this site to rent a van in Sweden during the summer of 2018. Excellent site, it was the best rate I could find, I asked a question and the response was quick and relevant.
Fortunately, there were only 3 of us because the camper van supposedly for 6 is overrated. Maximum autonomy of 48 hours. The rental company offered an all-inclusive package that was very advantageous but unknown to Cooldrive.
Reactive team, well-versed in their field and vehicle rental agencies.
Product as described. I recommend it.
Offer matching expectations and responsiveness of the interlocutor. Very good.
First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!
Too rigid computer system
Very good customer experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it! Thanks to the team who were attentive and available for organizing my trip to Canada.
Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.
Top rates and service
Impeccable
Quick and efficient response
Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.
Perfect
Interesting price, clear file and follow-up. Very easy to get answers to our questions, very pleasant staff.
We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
