Ängesböle camping area and wanderers' hut
There is good space for hoisting your tent at Ängesböle camping ground, and there's also a campfire site nearby. The wanderers' hut offers shelter for two persons – the hut actually is more like a canopy without a door or walls, so you'll sleep outside but sheltered from rain.
Ängesböle camping ground and wanderers' hut are found along the Byabäcken nature trail, in the middle of Sipoonkorpi forest. There's an outhouse by the camping area.
