Sleeping in a motorhome – Gävleborg County: what applies? Tolerated
No known ban – check the signs on site.
Official stopovers, campsites and farms that take motorhomes are open to you. For car parks and community spots, this rule applies.
Sweden's right to roam (allemansrätten) does not cover motor vehicles, and a motorhome may neither drive nor be parked on natural ground. Only ordinary parking along a road or in a car park is allowed (terrängkörningslag 1975:1313), generally for a maximum of 24 hours at rest areas and, near dwellings, only with the landowner's permission even for a single night.
