You can organise Finland yourself really easily.

flights go to either Helsinki or Tampere (we flew to tampere) then hire a car and drive to Jyvaskyla (about 2.5hrs)
Accommodation wise, the excellent Tiina Bjork can sort you out with an amazing ski lodge about ten minutes from rally HQ (tiina.bjork@jyvaskylaan.com)

Stage maps and timings are all presented with your rally passes (about 50 Euro IIRC) and you're good to go.

Just DO NOT have any alcohol and drive in Finland, they will randomly breath check you throughout the event (they set up just off the motorway junctions nearest the stages and breathalise all drivers) I got stopped 4 times in 5 days.

It can be the same temp as the UK. I found it just very slightly cooler. Still easily t-shirt weather and remember you get more hours of daylight.

click this link for all the things you wondered about (from 2005 when I was wondering the same things as you) http://bbs.scoobynet.com/motor-sport-general-6/475657-finland-rally.html

If you search (near the top of the page) for Finland, you will find a few threads relating to last years rally.

Can't help with the camping I'm afraid, although I know that there's a huge campsite about 1/2 mile before the yellow house jump on Ouninpohja (it's where all the Estonians stayed in 2005) and from memory there were people camping at pretty much all the stage car parks.

As far as Tiina's address goes, try
