mökkikohde

Mökkikohde, also known as a "camping site" or "campsite" in English, is a designated area where people can set up temporary accommodations for recreational purposes, typically for a short period. These sites are often found in natural settings such as forests, lakes, or mountains, providing visitors with the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and wildlife observation. Mökkikohde can range from simple, self-contained sites with basic amenities to more developed areas with full services, including electricity, water, and restrooms.

The term "mökkikohde" is commonly used in Finland, where it refers to both public and private camping sites. Public mökkikohde are managed by local municipalities or the state and are often located in national parks or other protected areas. Private mökkikohde are owned and operated by individuals or companies and may offer additional services such as rental cabins, restaurants, and recreational facilities.
