Updated: October 2026 | Gullviks havsbad och camping is located on a sandy beach in the northern High Coast, about 15 kilometers southeast of Örnsköldsvik. We stayed here with our camper during a trip through northern Sweden in 2010. The weather was chilly, but we appreciated the location by the sea and a nice evening outside the camper.

Our visit to Gullviks sea bath
After leaving Umeå we continued south and stopped at Gullviks havsbad och camping. Here we were greeted by a sandy beach, a jetty and a sea view. Unfortunately the weather was not conducive to swimming. It was cold and rainy, and Billie, who wanted to fish, would have preferred a different kind of beach. But we took a detour down to the jetty and still enjoyed the surroundings.
Towards evening it was time to grill and have dinner. We put on warm clothes and sat outside as long as possible. Even a chilly summer day can end with a nice evening by the camper. We haven't returned to the campsite itself since then, but have later traveled around and discovered much more of the High Coast.
Camping near Örnsköldsvik
The facility today uses the name Gullviks Havsbad, High Coast Resort. It is located approximately 15 kilometers southeast of the center of Örnsköldsvik and combines camping and a holiday village with a beach and activities.
According to the campsite's own information, there are around 190 campsites with electricity, as well as tent pitches and cabins. There are also pitches without electricity, which are not listed as bookable online. Contact the campsite if you would like to know more about these.
Service and restaurant
The campsite has three service buildings with toilets, showers, a kitchen and a laundry room. During high season there is also a shop with a small selection of food and other things you may need during your camping stay.
There is also a summer restaurant here. Opening hours and offerings vary during the season, so check the latest information before your visit.
Sandy beach, pool and activities
The beach is one of Gullvik's great assets. There is a long sandy beach and pier, as well as barbecue areas and opportunities for beach volleyball and football, among other things.
For those who prefer a pool, there is a heated pool and a separate children's pool. The pool area is open during the summer season.
The resort also lists activities such as adventure golf, paddle tennis, outdoor gym and cyclocross track. For dog owners there is an agility course, and sea kayaks are available for rent for those who want to discover the surroundings from the water. Check opening hours, booking and any fees for the activities.
We did not try this range during our visit in 2010. Our pictures show the campsite as it looked then.
Discover more of the High Coast
Gullvik can also be a stop during a longer trip in the High Coast. We have returned to the region several times and enjoy the combination of coast, views, hiking and small communities.
Örnsköldsvik is the closest city for a city trip. Further afield in the region, you'll find Skuleberget and many other excursion destinations that we've collected in our large guide.

If you want to take a trip to Ulvön, the M/F Ulvön leaves from Köpmanholmen. The campsite's website states that it is about a 25-minute drive from Gullvik. The boat therefore departs from a different location, and the timetable needs to be checked separately. We have not yet visited Ulvön ourselves.

Hello!
Have followed your blog for a while, fun:) We were just in Germany, and then thought to get a question to you, but it did not happen. What we wondered was how you fixed the internet when you were in Poland, or in other countries. We bought a vodaphone stick and surfed at the prices that applied in Germany. So we had wireless internet all the time. Worked well, but slightly more expensive than comviq surf in Sweden. We assume that you have to buy a local wireless modem in each country to be able to surf cheaply? Is this correct? Then we wonder if you are satisfied with your solar collector? Do you think it was worth the money?
Greetings Susanne and Noam from Sala.

Susanne, glad you are following our blog! We have brought a laptop and we use WIFI (wireless internet) on campsites. A lot of campsites offer this for free or for a small fee. If not, we check if there are hotspots (wireless networks nearby) that you can surf to, or we look for an internet café.
In countries such as Poland, you'll mostly be staying at campsites, so this works well. If you're free camping or mostly staying in caravan parks, it can be a good option to buy local SIM cards in each country. However, it's a bit tricky if you're travelling in many countries, and in some countries it's more difficult to get... (we couldn't get it in Austria, for example).
As for the solar panel, it seems good, but we haven't had time to explore it properly yet. When we park the car, we always have a full battery when we come back (and that was not the case before) so it seems very good. This summer, however, we have mostly stayed at campsites, as we travelled in Eastern Europe where this is appropriate and also travelled with teenagers who use a lot of electricity constantly... The real tests of the solar panel will come a little later when Peter and I go out on weekends and free camp. We'll report back on that then!
Katarina, thanks for the tip! We'll check online and see if we can find more fishing camps as well. Fun with the Freedom boat! We would love to see the photo! do you have the opportunity to send or show?

Maxiander, our motorhome runs on diesel and consumes about 1.1 litres/mile if you drive at 100 km/h. If you drive faster, it consumes more.
