Mellsta – Borlänge

New for 2025 – This summer, Mellsta becomes our first fully digital destination! We’re currently preparing the site with installations for the upcoming season, but bookings are open as usual.

 

First Camp Mellsta – Borlänge offers a convenient and unmanned camping concept where you can easily check in using your mobile phone or the self-service kiosk on site. Here you can sit back and enjoy nature – without queues or hassle, much like a large motorhome site. During the summer weeks, our team will also be on-site daily to assist you! Read more about how to check in and out under Practical Information.

 

The campsite is beautifully located in the scenic Mellsta Park with stunning views of the Dalälven River. You’ll stay in peaceful and harmonious surroundings, with easy access to both relaxation and activities – all year round.

 

Mellsta is perfect if you’re looking to unwind, take a walk in the woods, or simply enjoy the simplicity of camping life. Several walking and fitness trails pass through the area, and in winter, you can strap on your cross-country skis right by the tracks. The Dalälven River invites calm fishing moments, and the surrounding nature offers plenty to explore – by foot or bike. For families, there’s a playground on-site, and if you want to discover more of Borlänge, it’s close to shopping, culture, and adventure. Check out the Aqua Nova waterpark, the Jussi Björling Museum, the Science Center (Framtidsmuseet), and Sweden’s oldest museum – Ornäsloftet – where Gustav Vasa hid from the Danes in 1521. Just outside Borlänge you’ll also find Romme Alpin, the adventure mine Tuna Hästberg, and fantastic natural ice trails on Lake Runn.
