The group camp is located between Pitkänniemenjärvi and Ylinen Rautjärvi. The campsite is divided in two by a 0.5 km long former airfield.
The group camps of Evo offer excellent facilities for camps and events all year round. Each group camp has a dry toilet, a woodshed, and a fireplace. The group camps are suitable for groups of up to 100 people and also include access to common areas, such as a natural beach (though there is no official swimming area) and water points
The group camp can be rented for only your use.
Make all reservations under the same order if you book several huts or other sites for the same trip. According to the reservation terms, the minimum refundable amount per order is €30.
Make reservations under separate orders if you book huts or other sites for several different trips. Managing separate reservations is easier, and you will receive a separate due date for each one, 14 days before the start of the reservation.
The reservation day begins at 2 pm and ends at 12 noon.
Keep the order confirmation of your paid reservation with you. Check the information related to keys in the "Keys" section (located halfway down the page).
A foreign company can place an order in the company's name only as an unregistered customer.

The Scouts have an annual priority booking right to reserve the group camp facilities for the following year during the period 1.5.-31.10. After the priority booking period, anyone can make reservations for the group camp.
