Tents

If you are planning to stay in a tent, it is best to bring your own as very few sites have tents for hire.

Prices

Overnight prices for caravans, mobile homes and tents vary from camp site to camp site within each star rating. Sites rated with two to three stars cost from NOK 80 per accommodation unit per day, those with four to five stars cost from NOK 120 per accommodation unit per day.  

Opening times

Opening times are normally from 7 am to 11 pm. The larger camp sites tend to have someone on duty 24 hours a day.

Camping card

The camping card is not obligatory in Norway. However, certain camp sites will be part of a scheme which demands that you must have, or buy, a camping card in order to stay the night. Camping Card Scandinavia (CCS) is the camping card that will be on sale from these companies. If you are a holder of Camping Card International (CCI), this card will be accepted as equivalent to the CCS.
