Not only does Boden offer excellent bathing facilities such as the heated outdoor pool on Bodens camping ground and the adventure bath NordPoolen; there are also fine bathing places for those who prefer the feeling of sand between their toes when going for a swim.

Furthermore there are bathing jetties for you to use, along with changing cubicles and toilets. During high season, on really hot days, you can also buy ice cream, sweets etc. here.
