Nature conservation card

There are over a hundred campsites with toilets, wood, wind shelters and waste handling facilities in the Dalsland Nordmarken lake system. The campsites are located in scenic spots along canoe trails. You can stay overnight at a campsite in a cosy wind shelter. If you’re lucky, someone’s already made camp, the camp fire has already been lit with the pre-stocked wood, and you can share both the site and the experience with other guests.

DANO Crew wardens work in the lake system to assist and inform visitors about the area, providing information on suitable tours, interesting places to visit, etc. They also notify visitors of restrictions, such as the bird protection areas, fishing cards and any fire bans. The wardens are additionally responsible for the maintenance and supervision of campsites. They check to make sure visitors have Nature Conservation Cards and are permitted to use the facilities.

Nature Conservation Cards pay for the expansion of campsites, maintenance, wood, supervision, waste containers, nature conservation and compensation to landowners who have granted the use of their land for campsites.

Nature Conservation Cards can be purchased online, at the tourist offices in the area or from local canoe rentals. The card costs SEK 80 per person and night children under 12 use the service free of charge.

Purchasing a Nature Conservation Card does not mean that you have a reservation for a specific campsite in the lake system. It is not possible to reserve a campsite for yourself, and you may not prevent another canoeist from setting up camp on the site you are camping at.

Our nature is sensitive and to avoid damage, all groups of more than five people must use campsites at night.

Nature Conservation Cards that have not been used will not be refunded. DANO charges a administration fee from visitors who cannot present a valid Nature Conservation Card. The administrative fee and the cost of the Nature Conservation Card must be paid directly.

You can buy your Nature Conservation Cards online or at these places.
