Basecamp is a beautiful place to stay, so peaceful and remote, with fantastic staff, lovely food and comfy rooms.  The frozen lake is so picturesque, we also walked to the frozen waterfall and to the mill too, which weren't far away through the forest.  
The guides that led our Exodus Family Wilderness Week were great, and really took care of us when the temperature hit -34C so we could still go outside and take part in activities.  The food was good, the cakes were tasty, and the soups- the orange hot chocolate was very boozy indeed.  Both children (9 and 11) loved it, and embraced the activities, as well as playing games in the evening near the fire in the main building.  I really hope to return one day, as the activities were great fun, the location stunning, and all the family had an amazing time.

Amazing week in the snow

This was a beautiful setting to stay for a week. The cabin was really cosy and the heated flooring was nice. 
It was an incredible place and you can ask them to knock and wake you if they see the northern lights, which is a really nice touch. 
The food was incredible and the staff really friendly. 
It was a really great base to enjoy the National park.

Amazing location!!

We ate their set lunch of soup, bread and dessert after hiking the little bears trail. Great to find such a place in the wilderness. Cannot judge it as a hotel, but it’s very rustic and the staff are friendly. If you go hiking around here it’s a good lunch stop

Just had lunch

Amazing stay at Basecamp Oulanka as part of Exodus Finnish Wilderness week. The camp is only about 30 minutes drive from Kuusamo but once you are there, it feels like the middle of nowhere. Accommodations are rustic but clean and comfortable - very unlikely you spend much time in your room for it to become an annoyance! The camp caters for all kinds and levels of activities from ice climbing to snow shoeing and they provide all the footwear and gear you could possibly need. Top tip - bring your best base layers but use all of their gear for everything else. It might look a little ‘used’ but it’s thoroughly cleaned and you probably won’t want to damage all your expensive cold weather gear anyways! 
WiFi available if the main cabin with a well stocked bar that serves an amazing, boozy hot chocolate to enjoy in front of the fire.

**bring some slippers to wear around the main lodge - gives your feet a rest and the boots a chance to dry out! **

Magical!

We came here as part of an Exodus trip called Winter Wilderness Experience. Great week and we tried several new experiences such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, quinzee building and much more. Aldo a base to visit other experiences such as dog sledging and reindeer farm.
Food is amazing as are all the staff

A very special place!

Really nice facility with many top notch services and friendly staff. There are numerous cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking and ice climbing options in the surrounding area. I really enjoyed hiking by the river for photography options. It would be a good idea to wear crampons on the trails though especially around the stairs and close to the river to prevent slipping.

Fantastic Kitka River hike

Lovely place in a great environment. Great food! And above all: a very welcoming host who made sure our stay was the very best. She also gave us plenty of tips for the next destinations.

Amazing base on the wilderness. Nature is at yr door. Wonderful local good. Lots of activities. I spebd two nights in June, enjoying nightless night, when the sun is up for severeral days. Participated in an amazing event: wild women's canoyeing at night. Extreme nature experience paddling 25 km on the River Oulankajoki

Canoyeing on tje nightless night

Staff at Basecamp Oulanka made a great effort to welcome us and to accommodate our plans. We were very pleased with our stay. We were also impressed by deep interest in the Oulanka park.

Wow what a find, booked via Exodus travels. Everything about this trip and Basecamp are excellent. The rooms are cosy, with heated floors, just right to dry your clothes on. All thermal layers are provided and equipment for x-county skiing and snowshoe walking. The guides are excellent, knowledgable and friendly. When it comes to the meals provided, what can I say but amazing, excellent, scrumptious and plenty for second and even third helpings if you have the room. Other experiences whilst at Basecamp, are husky sledding, a visit to a Reindeer farm with ride on a sleigh. Buiding a Quinzee, a snow house. Sadly no Northern lights visible on our weeks stay. I would defiantly go back again and possibly in the summer months to view Black Bears.
