Camping & Caravans
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.
