A free cabin in the Urho Kekkonen National Park, Sodankylä

A pretty good location to spend the night if you are traveling from the south up to Lapland. You can drive to the exact spot. The Laavu (a lean to shelter) is big, you could sleep in it if you wanted. The fire pit has a moveable raised grill, which is nice. Even though it is by the road & houses, there are trees surrounding it which makes it secluded. There is a shed for wood, but it wasn't stocked. No axe or saw to cut wood. Places to put up a tent. A pier to jump in the water.
