A vast and bureaucratic holiday park by Lake Orsa, 2 miles off E45 highway. In high season reservations are needed for a variety of pitches at different prices (see their complicated website). On the evening we arrived the site was quiet, except at the noisy Reception inside the bowling alley and bar. No sign of the \'helpful staff members in the sleek and businesslike reception\' described above. A young woman who was new to the job eventually allocated a numbered pitch (no choice of type or price was offered) - and no, we could not look round to choose our own place. The computer was in control.
Our pitch was squeezed in the centre of a row between two other vehicles, on impossibly soft wet grass. Reallocation involved a more senior member of staff, who gave us what turned out to be an even more muddy pitch, where the previous occupants had clearly become stuck in the mud, yet there seemed to be motorhome hard-standings in another area! As it was cold, dark and a long walk back to Reception, we finally parked on a gravel path within reach of the electricity and left next morning.
The facilities were all good and free WiFi worked well, but campers are obviously of very low priority in the low season. Compare our experience with the words on Orsa Camping’s website: ‘Be sure to choose a pitch that fits your caravan, motorhome or tent’. The pitches that we were offered should have been closed .
