Forest Dining, Smoke Sauna and Unforgettable Moments
Experience one of Finland’s most enchanting wilderness restaurants – hidden deep in the forests of Petäjävaara, on the peaceful shore of Lake Petäjälampi. Wilderness Restaurant Kammi is a unique setting for private dinners, events, parties, and seasonal celebrations, available all year round.
The main dining hall of Kammi, selected as the “Most Romantic Restaurant in the World” in 2010, is partly underground. Hundreds of tealights flicker against the bare bedrock wall, the fireplace glows, and the subtle scent of smoke fills the air – creating a warm and mystical atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Here, time slows down, and you can enjoy the moment without hurry.
Kammi is surrounded by wild nature – reindeer often wander nearby, birds sing all year round, and in winter, you might spot fresh wolf tracks in the snow. In late summer, berries grow wild just beyond the doorstep.
More Than a Restaurant – A Complete Wilderness Experience
Kammi is not just about dining – it’s a forest camp where nature, tradition, and comfort meet. The area features:
● A traditional Finnish smoke sauna, with water carried from the lake
● A spacious underground main dining hall, perfect for shared meals and stories
● A separate Pikku-Kammi building for smaller gatherings
● A large open-fire shelter (laavu) for campfire moments
● Rustic cabins for overnight stays – ideal for experience seekers
● A private lakeside for summer swims or winter ice dipping
● Eco-toilets and wood-heated facilities in a separate building
Tailored Wilderness Events – Year-Round
At Kammi, we host unforgettable weddings, festive dinners, wellness days, and group retreats all year round – often combined with saunas and playful outdoor activities.

Whether you arrive by van or snowmobile, Kammi offers a once-in-a-lifetime setting to enjoy good food, deep relaxation, and authentic Finnish atmosphere.
