Last spring, Jämsä terminated a landlord contract with a company that had run the campsite for a long time.
The City of Jämsä is looking for a new, year-round entrepreneur for the Rasua camping site in Jämsänkoski.
The city requires that the beach in the area be freely accessible to residents and tourists.
According to the city, the campsite will continue to be used for temporary accommodation and long-term accommodation will not be possible.
Jämsä chooses the Rasua campsite based on a tender for a new tenant. The final selection of the operator is made by the Jämsä city council.
PesäLomailuun Oy, which ran the Rasua campsite on the banks of Lake Kankarisvesi for twenty years, received departure passes from the city of Jämsä due to several contract violations.
Last spring, the city decided to terminate the area’s land boundary agreement with that company. For example, contrary to instructions, additional soil had been brought to the area and fixed structures had been built. Ancient monuments were also raided. There was also a dispute over the use of the beach.
The background is years of agreement, where comments have been made by both the environmental authority, the city and the residents of the area. Citizen feedback in particular made the city of Jämsä finally promote the termination of the land lease.
Jämsä will organize an information session and a tour on October 27 for those interested in running a business at the Rasua campsite.
