Whether you have a week or three, discover three iconic itineraries that will allow you to explore this Nordic country at your own pace, fully enjoying nature, local culture, and unique landscapes, from the south to the far reaches of Lapland.
Itinerary 7-10 days: From Helsinki to Rovaniemi, immersion in Finnish nature
This route begins in Helsinki, the dynamic capital by the Baltic Sea, where you can visit its markets and modern architecture. By motorhome, take the road to Lappeenranta, in the heart of the lake region, ideal for a first quiet night. Continue to Lieksa to explore Koli National Park, offering accessible hikes amidst rolling landscapes. Proceed to Oulu, then Ruka, a mountain resort renowned for its trails like the Karhunkierros. Finally, end in Rovaniemi, the gateway to Lapland, where wild nature and Sami culture await you. This circuit combines cities, nature, and outdoor activities while remaining accessible in about ten days.
Itinerary 14 days: Complete crossing from south to north with cultural and wild discovery
In two weeks, depart from Helsinki to head towards Vaasa on the west coast, then stop in Turku, a historic city surrounded by forests and islands. After a night by the Gulf of Bothnia, follow the coast to Oulu before reaching Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. This journey allows you to alternate between urban visits, nature breaks, and immersion in Lappish traditions. You can extend your stay around Rovaniemi to enjoy hikes or forest excursions. This circuit offers a good balance between cultural discovery and varied landscapes, while remaining comfortable for a motorhome trip.
Itinerary 21 days: Grand tour of Finland to the North Cape, ultimate Nordic adventure
For three weeks, depart from Helsinki and cross the entire country from south to north, passing through Vaasa, Oulu, and Rovaniemi. From there, push your exploration into Lapland towards Inari, the Sami cultural heart, before crossing the Norwegian border to reach the mythical North Cape. This journey takes you across the Finnmarksvidda, a vast plateau with wild landscapes, and along the spectacular Pörsangerfjord. This motorhome route combines Finnish cultural richness, preserved nature, and an essential incursion into Norway to experience the North Cape, a symbolic highlight of the European Far North.

Traveling by motorhome or van in Finland
Finland offers a unique experience for travelers in a motorhome or van, with wild landscapes, endless lakes, and striking seasonal contrasts, where each time of year reveals a different facet of the country.
When to travel to Finland by motorhome
The best time to travel by motorhome in Finland is from April to September, when the days are long and temperatures are pleasant, ideal for exploring regions like Rovaniemi or the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. In summer, particularly between June and August, the sun hardly sets, providing uninterrupted days to discover Finnish nature.
In winter, Finland transforms into a fairy-tale landscape, especially in Lapland where snow covers everything and the Northern Lights illuminate the sky. The months from December to February are perfect for those seeking the magic of snowy landscapes and winter activities, but conditions can be harsh and days very short.
Weather and seasons in Finland
In summer, temperatures range from 20 to 30 °C in the south, around Helsinki or Tampere, while the north remains cooler, ideal for hiking in national parks. In winter, temperatures often drop below -10 °C, reaching -35 °C in the north, particularly in Kemi or Sodankylä.
Spring and autumn offer changing landscapes, with golden hues in September around Lake Olkkajärvi or budding trees in May near Kuopio. These seasons are quieter and allow you to avoid crowds while enjoying nature in full transformation.
Seasonality of rates
Rental rates for motorhomes and parking areas increase during high season, from June to August, especially around major cities like Helsinki or in northern national parks. In low season, from November to March, prices drop but services are reduced, especially in remote areas like Lapland.
Between May and September, campsites like Saarituvat in Rovaniemi or Olkkajärven Venesatama near the Arctic Circle are open and offer rates suitable for van travelers, while in winter, most close their doors and it is advisable to favor service stations equipped for motorhomes.

Practical tips for traveling by motorhome in Finland
Finland offers exceptional freedom for travelers in a motorhome, with diverse landscapes ranging from the forests of the Kainuu region to the lakes of Helsinki and the Northern Lights of Lapland.
Driving and regulations
In Finland, dipped headlights must be on at all times, even during the day, on all roads, including around the capital Helsinki or in rural areas like the Saimaa region. Motorhomes are limited to 50 km/h in cities, 80 km/h on roads and highways, regardless of the season. Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, including in the back, and winter tires are required from December to February, especially on Lapland roads where conditions can be particularly challenging.
Sleeping and connecting
The Finnish customary law, called jokamiehenoikeus, allows for free camping in nature, particularly near the lakes of the Savonlinna region or in the forests of Rovaniemi, provided you respect the environment and do not approach private homes. Wild camping is prohibited in national parks like Pallas-Yllästunturi and on beaches. Official campsites, such as those in Turku or Kuusamo, often offer electrical hookups and sanitary facilities.
Local tips & safety
In Finland, it is advisable to remain vigilant on secondary roads, especially in the Lapland region where some routes may be blocked in winter. Speed cameras are numerous, especially around major cities like Tampere or Oulu. In case of an accident, dial 112. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l, and it is strictly prohibited to park less than five meters from a pedestrian crossing, for example in the city centers of Lahti or Jyväskylä.

Is wild camping allowed with a motorhome in Finland?

a difference between the pick-up and return times! A problem with my credit card, which was only a debit card and therefore I couldn't pay the deposit. I was not aware of this restriction. I was able to pay the rental of €1500 but not the deposit of €500! Scheduled departure at 2:30 PM, actual departure at 6:30 PM! It was impossible for the other people present to pay the deposit with an appropria...
Difficult to get information before booking by phone or email, almost impossible. However, good responsiveness by email once the booking is made. Lack of fluidity on the site with issues downloading the various documents requested on the site but quickly resolved by Cool Drive.
good experience
Very good service, despite the fact that we do not speak Finnish at all and have difficulty in English. I recommend.
Very good support throughout our project despite a two-year delay due to the Covid crisis. The team also supported us well after an issue with the rental company following our return from vacation. Very good advice and a very nice team.
Nothing to report, reservation made easy by the clarity of the information on the site.
Very well
clarity of offers, responsiveness of replies, efficiency throughout the process from quoting to completion of the file
EXCELLENT TIPS AND TRICKS. Rental in accordance with the order. We had a problem when returning the camper van, they provided very good advice and reassured me regarding the steps to take with the insurance.
Impeccable, nothing to say.
Very good. Very good communication.
I really appreciated the availability of our contact for the preparation of our trip. I would not hesitate to recommend CoolDrive! Very serious and very available contact. THANK YOU
First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!
Too rigid computer system
Very good customer experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it! Thanks to the team who were attentive and available for organizing my trip to Canada.
Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.
Top rates and service
Impeccable
Quick and efficient response
Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.
Perfect
Interesting price, clear file and follow-up. Very easy to get answers to our questions, very pleasant staff.
We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking.
