Lystang Glamping

At Lystang Glamping, you can rent furnished glamping tents for 2-5 people (6 with an extra bed), situated idyllically with a west-facing view of lake Heddalsvatnet, which is part of the Telemark Canal.

Here, you will find glamping-not-camping, and there are no motorhomes, caravans, or private tents. All tents have proper beds with duvets/pillows/bedding, a fan heater and wood-burning stove in each tent, a discreetly placed portable toilet, a private grill, and outdoor furniture. The tents are warm, dry, and super cozy no matter the weather!

The glamping site is located at Holtsås, about 15 minutes south of Notodden and 25 minutes from Bø in Telemark. The atmosphere is truly magical when the glamping tents stand like glowing cones in the sunset. You'll also find five cozy cabins, a service building, and a kitchen tent with proper tableware, and the staff will do the dishes!

Free parking
There is free parking right beside the tents.

Various food options

Party tent for groups renting the entire glamping site

Grill hut

Distance to attractions, etc.
Telemark is a summer paradise for cyclists, hikers, families with children, and those interested in history, music, and culture. The area boasts diverse nature with snow-covered peaks, spruce-clad adventure ridges, wide fruit-growing areas, lakes, and canals. There are many events and attractions in the summer. You can bring your bike on one of the canal boats up the locks on the Telemark Canal or hike on trails and in the mountains. Take your children to Bø Sommarland or visit UNESCO's World Heritage sites in Notodden or Rjukan. Or just relax outside the glamping tent with good food and drink, while the holiday peace sets in.
