Gåsgrund and Knappeskär are very popular islands for camping, and the scenery makes them perennial favorites for a wide variety of people. Gåsgrund is quite a large island, very popular among families. The island's nice sandy beaches and steady, safe terrain are reasons for its popularity. The island has stunning scenery from its low rocky terrain to its lush meadows and charming woodland. Gåsgrund also has good services including cooking spots, places for small fires and toilet facilities. The island is connected to the mainland by regular boat traffic. Knappeskär is located south of Gåsgrund. It is very popular among campers, but is also a favorite of sporty types, who like to take a relaxing walk on the island's low terrain. Knappeskär's services include toilets and cooking facilities.
