For the same reason, we are not great campers either. However we are happy to provide facilities for those of you travelling in this way, but do not expect the same level of sophistication as you might find at home.
A few sites are dedicated to campers and caravanners and these are mainly in our forests. Mostly you will just want to ask permission to use car parks or available land beside a farm.
We keep our car headlights on all day, even in mid-summer. In fact if you hire a car locally, you will not be able to turn them off. Strange, but it is the law. When towing your caravan, you will need to keep its back lights on all day as well.
The law says you must keep your driving licence and car registration documents with you at all times.
With your caravan, you can drive freely to Latvia or take the ferry to Helsinki or Stockholm. If you plan to drive to Russia, remember that your caravan and car will need a separate permit, apart from your own personal visa.
