Taivaalla on hienot revontulet. Etualalla on ihmisiä laavulla nuotion ääressä.

There are numerous huts and lean-to shelters available for hikers to stay overnight in Urho Kekkonen National Park. Over the years, the huts have been renovated, but they still retain the old hiking history of the area. The newest open and shared rental hut is located at Rautulampi, completed in 2021.

Camping is guided by regulations

The recreational use of the national park is guided by zoning. The hiking and nature tourism zone and the remote zone of the national park have different rules regarding camping and open fires. Check the zones on the map and the restrictions from the national park rules.

Lean-to shelter and campfire huts

Most of the national park's lean-to shelters and campfire huts are located along the Suomujoki, Luttojoki and Nuorttijoki rivers and are suitable for overnight stays mainly in the summer and autumn. All of the lean-to shelters and campfire huts have woodsheds and dry toilets. The lean-to shelters and campfire huts can be found here.

When camping, be considerate towards other hikers and those staying overnight. They may be tired after their day’s hike and wish to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.
