Leksand Resort: Lakeside Camping Beside Sommarland

Leksand Resort is a large lakeside holiday base in Leksand, Sweden, with camping pitches, cabins, trailers and glamping tents. Public feedback is strong overall, with a Google rating of 4.3 from 2,121 reviews. The main draw is the setting: the resort sits beside Lake Siljan, with woodland around several accommodation areas and Leksand Sommarland next door.

The setting and accommodation

Reviews repeatedly highlight the waterfront location. Glamping guests mention attractive lake views and tents positioned close to the shore, while campers describe spacious pitches and a clean, natural setting. One family group stayed for three nights in a glamping tent and found the location especially appealing, with the lake and woods close at hand.

The choice of accommodation is broad. Tent campers have access to pitches, while visitors can book cabins, trailers or glamping tents. A recently built cabin received positive feedback for its comfort and condition. That said, one reviewer felt the cabin represented poor value for its camping setting. The available reviews do not establish a consistent price level, so travellers should compare the accommodation types carefully before booking.

Facilities and atmosphere

The resort has service buildings with toilets and shower stalls, though some campers reported waiting at busy times. The facilities were described as older in style but functional. Other feedback points to missing small conveniences, such as towel hooks, and a very basic shared kitchen with limited cooking equipment.

The site is described as large and busy, particularly in July. That can suit families seeking an active holiday atmosphere, but it may feel crowded for campers looking for quiet. Playgrounds and mini golf are available on site, adding simple activities without needing to leave the resort.

Food, pools and service

Service reviews are generally encouraging. Staff are described as young, helpful and responsive. One guest reported that a broken umbrella at a glamping tent was replaced within two hours, a useful sign that staff respond to practical problems despite the scale of the campsite.

Food feedback is less consistent. A reviewer found both the pizza and buffet disappointing and advised avoiding tables in the restaurant tent. The same review suggested using that area for the mini disco, then eating elsewhere in the restaurant. Pool water was also described as cold. These comments suggest that dining and swimming may not be the resort’s strongest reasons for choosing a stay.

Who should stay here

Leksand Resort is best suited to families, groups and campers who value access to nature and nearby attractions. Lake Siljan, the shore, woodland surroundings and Sommarland provide the core appeal. It is less convincing for travellers seeking polished facilities, a quiet campsite or consistently strong restaurant food.

A short stay of two or three nights gives visitors time to settle into the accommodation, use the lakeshore and visit Sommarland. Booking outside the busiest summer period may be worth considering for guests who prefer more space, although the reviews do not identify a specific quieter season.
