Beds
Visitors to First Camp Nydala-Umeå have shared varied opinions about the beds in the cabins. On the positive side, some guests found the beds to be clean and comfortable, noting that cleanliness is a vital aspect of their stay. A few also appreciated the location and described the beds as nice and meeting their expectations.

However, there were multiple points of criticism surrounding the accommodations. Many guests mentioned that both the regular beds and sofa beds are uncomfortable, hard, or narrow, which made sleeping challenging for some. Several reviewers highlighted that the mattresses, especially in the pull-out sofa beds, were thin or in poor condition, contributing to discomfort. Issues such as squeaky beds, insufficient mattress quality, and dust found under mattresses were also noted.

The sofa beds particularly drew criticism for being uncomfortable, with some guests even resorting to purchasing extra mattresses to improve their sleep experience. The bunk beds were criticized as unsuitable for taller individuals due to their narrow dimensions. Despite these challenges, the overall cabin size was appreciated by some guests, although they felt upgrades on the beds and mattresses were necessary, considering the cabin rental costs.

Cleanliness
First Camp Nydala-Umeå offers guests a mixed experience with its cleanliness standards. While some cabins are described as spacious and clean, leaving a nice impression with fresh and comfortable interiors, other areas leave much to be desired. The facilities themselves are well-maintained; however, several reviews highlight issues such as dusty surfaces and poorly cleaned bathrooms, which detract from the overall experience. Visitors note neglected areas, including dirty chairs and improperly washed dishes. Some guests report an unclean feeling upon arrival, dealing with inconvenient surprises like hair in shower drains and crumbs on sofa beds. The campsite's cabins, though equipped with the essentials, need more consistent attention to ensure cleanliness across all spaces. While the camping area and rooms often present a warm and tidy atmosphere, improvements in cleaning practices would significantly enhance guest satisfaction.

Staff
The staff at First Camp Nydala-Umeå receives consistent praise for their helpfulness and accommodating nature. Guests frequently highlight the friendliness and warmth of the personnel, noting that staff members, including the receptionists, are eager to assist and provide quick responses to requests. The communication is noted to be seamless, often facilitated smoothly through the app or over the phone. The accommodating attitude is further exemplified by the staff's readiness to address issues, such as quickly replacing appliances or facilitating accessibility. Although there are isolated mentions of logistical hiccups and occasional fatigue among some staff members, the overall impression remains positive. Guests appreciate the staff's service-minded approach, ensuring pleasant interactions and an accommodating stay. The combination of great facilities and attentive service contributes to a generally positive experience for guests visiting the camp.

Wi-Fi
First Camp Nydala-Umeå experiences mixed feedback regarding its WiFi services according to guest reviews. Some visitors report satisfactory Wi-Fi reception, particularly when near the service house, but others found it challenging to connect from their accommodations, with a notable lack of signals in the cabins and cottages on the outskirts of the camp. Those opting for remote accommodations away from centralized amenities found themselves leaving their cabins to access the internet effectively. While the WiFi signal is described as usable in specific areas, guests who require consistent connectivity might need to plan accordingly, possibly considering areas closer to the main service points for better reception. Overall, those staying in more central locations might experience a more reliable connection, but visitors should be prepared for weak signals and potential disconnections, especially in more remote cabins.
