Hiking structures
Nuuksio National Park offers an extensive range of services for both day visitors and those planning longer trips. The area includes, among other things, a large number of marked trails, several cooking shelters, tent areas, and dry toilets.
Campsites
-
As campsites are shared resting places, you should show consideration towards other hikers.
-
There is no waste management at the campsites, so bring your rubbish home.
-
Lighting fires is only allowed at serviced and designated campfire sites.
-
Before you light a fire, always check if any forest fire warnings are in effect. When a forest fire warning has been issued, lighting fires is prohibited.
-
Firewood is provided at campfire sites. Remember that you may have to chop up the wood yourself. Please use the firewood sparingly.
The firewood supply has been discontinued at the Iso-Holma and Urja campfire sites. Please bring your own firewood or collect some from the nearest wood sheds. -
Do not burn rubbish or tear off bark from living trees. You can use a small amount of clean paper and cardboard to light your fire.
-
The last person to leave the campfire site is always responsible for putting out the fire.
Drinking water
- Always boil water from natural sources before drinking it.
- Do not wash dishes or yourself in natural waters or on well covers.

Waterpoint
Haukkalammen porakaivovedessä on havaittu kohonnut fluoridipitoisuus 1,8 mg F/l, suositeltavan viitearon ollessa alle 1,5 mg F/l. Vettä voi käyttää talousvetenä lyhytaikaisesti. Liiallinen fluorin saanti voi aiheuttaa hampaiden muodostumisaikana hammaskiilteen muodostumishäiriön, hammasfluoroosin. Runsas fluorinsaanti voi aiheuttaa myös muutoksia hohkaluun rakenteessa lisäten luun murtumisherkkyyttä, jonka vuoksi katsotaan, ettei aikuistenkaan tulisi juoda vuosikausia vettä, jonka fluoridipitoisuus ylittää 2 mg/l.
Toilets
- Remember to bring your own toilet paper.
- Check the instructions for using the toilet provided at the campsite.
Waste disposal
- Take your rubbish home, do not burn it.
- Remember to bring some rubbish bags when you go out.
- Do not throw food waste out in the forest.
