Stockendagen
On the 2nd weekend of July, Saturday 8/7, it is time for Stocken-day. This is an annual event that originates from Anita & Freddy, who own the campsite, wanting to celebrate running the campsite for 10 years, in 2015.
Since the event was so appreciated, it was decided that it would be carried out every year and then, as now, it takes place in cooperation with Föreningen Stocken, (the Stocken Association).
We usually have quiz walks for the whole family, lotteries, market stalls and exhibitors, maybe even a flea market – and weather permitting, bouncy castles for the children.
