Camping and Caravan Holidays in Norway |
 It is no suprise that with their love of the outdoor life, you are never far from somewhere to camp in Norway. If you plan to sleep in a tent, you may do so anywhere in forests or mountains except in cultivated fields for up to 48 hours, as long as your tent is no closer than 150 meters to the nearest house.
Many campgrounds have small cabins that can be booked in advance. Standards vary from small and simple to larger, well-equipped ones with common room, separate bedrooms, kitchen, shower and toilet.
Norway has more than 1000 campgrounds that are classified with 1-5 stars depending on their standard and available facilities. The cost per day ranges from NOK 80-150 for the camping site plus a per person fee.
Star ratings are an excellent guide when choosing a campsite. RBL/Klassifiseringsutvalget (a Norwegian classification body) have classified campsites, awarding them star ratings from one to five. the number of stars indicates the standard of the campsite.
There is usually an extra fee for electricity hook-up. The Norwegian Camping Card as well as the Scandinavian Camping Card, ensures you quicker registration and certain other advantages. It can be purchased at all associated campgrounds. The largest campgrounds usually have activities like swimming, either in a pool or at a beach, plus canoe, kayak, rowboat, and bicycle rentals.
