A place that feels like yours

Human-scale capacity = real attention (Teams often ask about exclusive use — here’s how it works)

Docksta Havet Base Camp is human-scale by design. That’s the point.
For teams, it can mean a stay where you’re not “one booking among many”, but a group we host with full focus — names, routines, and a calm rhythm.
On selected dates, exclusive use / base camp takeover (multiple units + shared spaces) can be possible — so your team can truly “move in” for the week.

The setup: a simple base camp flow for orienteering team weeks (WOC 2029 build-up)

Capacity 14–16 (from 2027). A quiet waterfront setup designed for recovery-first training weeks. Briefing-friendly spaces, laundry rhythm, and practical logistics for focused training blocks. For 2028–2029, 18–20 may be possible in selected weeks (subject to confirmation).

Less friction. More training quality.

Orienteering team weeks are not about “more amenities”. They’re about fewer decisions, less friction, and a rhythm that supports training quality.

We’re a human-scale operation — personal, not hotel-like — and that’s exactly why the setup stays calm, functional, and easy to manage.

Peak Performance (in one sentence)

Peak Performance is our recovery-first base camp concept: quiet sleep, simple routines, and reliable logistics — so your training week stays focused.

  • From single/double accommodation to a coordinated setup for 12–16 people (typical team week)

Team capacity (planning note)

  • From 2027: up to 14–16 guests (depending on unit mix)

The team flow (what teams usually need)

  • A place to sleep well

Briefing-friendly spaces (indoors + outdoors)

  • Map talks and planning  

  • Short debriefs after sessions  

  • Mobility, warm-up, and reset time  

It’s not a corporate conference room. It’s a functional, calm base camp — with the right atmosphere for focused work.

 

Training week support (light-touch, practical)

Practical support for orienteering training camps

 

We don’t run your training. You bring your plan. But we can help your week feel smoother and less friction-heavy:  

  • Local, practical pointers when you arrive (how the area works, what’s close, what’s sensible)  

  • Suggestions for easy runs / longer days / recovery walks  

  • Help keep the week calm (arrivals, routines, simple local logistics).

  • A host who is present and proactive when needed — without over-managing your week

 

Planning note (important):

For coordinated team setups (multiple units / preferred unit mix), reaching out early helps — especially in busier periods.

A practical starting point for moving around the WOC 2029 area

Where we are (High Coast / Höga Kusten)

Docksta Havet Base Camp is located in Docksta, Höga Kusten (High Coast), Sweden — a natural stop along the coast and a practical base for moving around the wider Örnsköldsvik / Själevad area.

Docksta sits along the E4, between the coast and the inland training areas — so day logistics stay simple.

Why this location works for team weeks

  • Along the E4 (easy arrival for cars and vans)

  • ~30 min to Örnsköldsvik / Själevad (WOC 2029 area access)

  • Waterfront environment (downshift between sessions)

  • Docksta basics: ICA Nära, fuel station, and bus stops are all within walking distance.

  • Parking on-site (simple gear handling and arrivals)

Getting here (quick overview)

By car / van (recommended)

Docksta is directly along the E4, which makes arrival simple for teams with gear and flexible daily movement. On-site parking makes unloading and split arrivals easy.

By train

Take the train to the High Coast region, then continue by bus or pre-planned pickup. For team weeks, a car/van setup is strongly recommended to keep daily logistics smooth (training areas, groceries, recovery spots).

By air

Fly to a regional airport, then continue by car or bus. For coordinated camps, teams usually choose rental cars/vans so the week stays flexible and low-friction.

If you tell us your arrival plan, we’ll suggest the simplest last-leg setup.

Parking & arrivals

We have large on-site parking, making arrivals and gear handling simple — especially for teams coordinating multiple units.

If you’re arriving in waves (staff first, athletes later), tell us your rough timing and we’ll suggest the smoothest check-in flow.

 

Not sure where to base your team?

 Facilities that matter for team weeks

Recovery-first rhythm, simple self-catering options, laundry flow, reliable WiFi, and calm spaces for briefings and reset time.

What matters in real life (and what you get here)

  • Private bathrooms in the Guest House (ideal for staff/families or a small team unit)

  • Service House access (shared showers & toilets)

  • Kitchen & kitchenettes for simple self-catering (availability depends on your unit/setup. We’ll confirm the exact kitchen/kitchenette access in writing before you book.)

  • Laundry corner with washing machine & dryer (available throughout your stay). For larger groups, we’ll suggest a simple laundry schedule so everyone gets a fair rhythm.

  • Club House access for team flow (espresso corner, lounge feel, practical indoor & waterside spaces)

  • Reliable WiFi (work/analysis friendly)

  • Large parking on-site (easy arrivals and gear handling)

Team weeks run on small things: sleep, routines, dry gear, laundry rhythm, and a place where the day doesn’t feel chaotic.

Note: Docksta Havet Base Camp is a human-scale base, not a resort. The value is in the rhythm: simple, clean, quiet, functional.

Bathrooms & showers

Private bathrooms (Guest House)

The Guest House includes private bathrooms — ideal for staff/families or a small team unit that benefits from extra privacy and smooth morning routines.

Service House access (shared)

All stays have access to our Service House (shared showers & toilets). It’s designed for practical everyday use during the season.

Laundry & gear rhythm

Laundry corner

A practical laundry setup with washing machine + dryer is available throughout your stay — helpful for multi-day training blocks and wet-weather weeks.

Dry gear mindset

We aim for a setup where wet shoes, jackets, and training kit can be handled without stress. If you have a larger group, tell us your expected laundry volume and we’ll suggest the smoothest rhythm.

Food & self-catering (simple and flexible)

Kitchen / kitchenette options

Self-catering is possible, but the exact setup depends on your unit mix and what you book.

  • Some units support simple meal routines more easily than others

  • For team weeks, we can suggest the best setup based on headcount and your preferred rhythm (quiet / shared / staff-first)

  • We’ll confirm the exact self-catering setup in your booking plan.

If your team has a strict routine (early breakfasts, packed lunches, etc.), mention it in your request.

Teams often use our Club House and outdoor spaces as a practical “container” for the week:

  • Map talks and planning

  • Short debriefs after sessions

  • Mobility, warm-up, and reset time

  • Calm indoor space when weather turns

It’s not a corporate conference room. It’s a functional base camp space — with the right atmosphere for focused work.

For supporters & visitors

Coming to watch races or explore the High Coast?

 Accommodation options (and how booking works)

Choose the setup that fits your week — then book simply (Airbnb-first) or request a coordinated team setup.

Choose the setup that fits your week

Our Base Camp includes a curated set of waterfront stays and practical shared spaces. The best setup depends on your dates, headcount, and preferred rhythm (quiet recovery-first vs shared/social).

  • Boathouse

    A minimalist waterfront stay — simple, calm, and close to the sea.

  • Dock House

    Waterfront comfort for couples / staff — a good fit for coaches or key staff who need extra quiet.

  • Guest House

    A practical base for small groups — includes private bathrooms and works well for staff/family units or a small team group.

  • Cabins (Crew & Captain)

    Our cabins are the simplest, most functional option — ideal for solo travellers, supporters, or staff who want a quiet base and spend most of the day outdoors.

  • Crew Cabin

    Compact and practical — a great fit for one person (or a minimal stay) with a “sleep + reset + go” rhythm.

  • Captain Cabin

    A simple, calm stay with a bit more comfort — a good fit for couples, staff, or supporters who want privacy without a full apartment.

Base Camp takeover (selected weeks)

Coordinated team stays across multiple units (availability depends on season and existing bookings). If you want to coordinate a full team week, request early. This simply means coordinating multiple units under one team plan (arrivals, unit mix, routines) — not a hotel-style exclusive resort booking.
