Tromso Lodge & Camping

Tromsø Lodge & Camping is located in the fabulous wilderness, right next to the Tromsø city center. You can sleep to the sound of the river running outside your cabin, with the majestic mountains behind you. When you wake up, you can take a lovely morning walk in one of the many hiking tracks at site. The location is perfect for those who want to experience the arctic nature, but also close to the urban city life. By car it is only a 5 minute drive, or by foot a 30 minute walk. We offer 54 cabins divided in 5 different categories, where you can choose between high standard cabins with two bedrooms, to a small cabin with only two beds. We also offer space for tents, RV and caravan, in addition to meeting and event facilities for up to 120 persons. Parking and WiFi is included in all of our cabins.

Perfect

We had a traditional cabin 2 adults and 2 kids both rooms were bunk beds. Cabin had everything you would need. It was freezing outside but the cabin was so warm. It's outside the town so we were very lucky to see the NL above the cabins. There's a small cafe which did shut early. Which was my only problem would have liked for it to stay open a bit later. Staff were very good and helpful. Managed to book reindeer sledge and the coach picked you up at the campsite so no need to go into town. There's a large supermarket which took us about 30 minutes to walk there due to the snow and about 2 hours to walk back cause there's a couple of small slopes that the kids and us would slide on. Great fun. Didn't find much in the town probably due to Covid at the time so only went there once and took a taxi back to the campsite. Breakfast was good plenty of choice.

Lofoten Links Lodges

What a beauty!

Reviewed By bastiderschuft

After having stayed on the camping ground nearby for one night last September, we were already in love with Hov. This time, due to the season, we chose to rent a lodge to spend the weekend there. The weather was challenging but that actually made the stay better because the lodges are the perfect hideaway during bad weather. Just chuck in a few pieces of wood into the fireplace that comes along with the place and then you can enjoy the spectacle from the couch. The lodge has everything you need to have a quality stay for a few days or even weeks. The beds are comfortable, the bathroom is spacious and comes with a relaxing shower (and an extra plus - rituals soap and shampoo). The shared kitchen is equipped with the basics that you need. We were fortunate we had the place for ourselves but even if we had to share it with someone else, it would have been alright because the rooms appear to be soundproof. But if you are a group of friends or plan a family vacation those lodges are a great choice. The location may appear off the beaten track but it is absolutely worth taking a small detour. It isn't that far from both towns of the Lofoten Islands and some other attractions that you can find in the area. The surrounding nature is spectacular and offers (almost literally) a mountain right behind your doorstep. There are some gorgeous beaches in and around Hov that can be used for water activities (if you are keen and willing to hop out into Arctic ocean). Beyond that there are heaps of trails you can just take a hike on. During the summer you can enjoy a round of golf on (if I am not mistaken) the northernmost golf course that has 18 holes. You can also book a horse ride or the sauna (located very close to a beach) at the horse farm nearby that also offers breakfast, dinner and drinks during the summer season. We didn't get to enjoy that due to time of our stay but back in September we enjoyed a lovely breakfast there. There is also a small grocery store in the village a five minutes drive nearby that has all the necessary stuff you need to have for making your own meals at the lodges. Thank you Lofoten Link Lodges for an amazing mini vacation :)

Comfortable room in lovely location

Reviewed By KentishLass00

We stayed one night in the accommodation on the site (there are also lots of caravans, campervans, etc.). The whole site was lovely. This was a quiet time of year and we had lots of space to ourselves. The room was pleasant with twin beds. The reception staff were exceptionally cheerful and went out of their way to be helpful - fantastic customer service. The site is large with good facilities. We found access to a lovely small beach where we sat and enjoyed the late evening sunshine. Unfortunately there is a sandy area beside that which was covered by dog poo, which spoilt the atmosphere. Overall it is a lovely site, a peaceful haven from the bustle of Kristiansand.

Tvinde Camping

Clean, economic and beautiful stay

Reviewed By sunilvakharia

We stayed here in July 2021 for two nights (group of 9 including children split into two cabins). The location is about 5 minutes walk from the Tvinno bus stop. There is very limited bus connectivity to this place, so you need to plan your travel accordingly if you are using public transport like us. The bathroom and toilets are outside and in common area. You need to carry 10 Krone coins to use the shower where the water will come for 4 minutes, which was sufficient for most of us. There is no charge to use the toilet if you have already paid for the cabin or camping. (They provide you a code to unlock the toilet door.) There is a small shop which is also the reception. You can get some fast food items and something hot to drink (e.g. coffee) along with option to buy soviniers. This is also the place where you can make the room payments (if booking via booking.com). This is also where you can ask for the free WiFi password (the signal is not good near the reception, but better at the actual cabins (speeds around 5 Mbps when it works). The mobile signal is also OK though not as strong as in big cities. The main attraction is the private waterfall which is accessible from this property. It is possible to just climb up the stones and get very close to the waterfall. It gets colder at night and there are some mosquitos as well though not too many for such a location. It is also possible to pitch a tent there or bring your caravan there. Check the website for rates.

Oldevatn Camping

Oldevatn Camping is set idyllically by Lake Oldevatn, surrounded by steep mountains and glaciers. When the snow melts the lake changes to a distinctive turquoise colour that our guests never have seen before. Oldevatn Camping achieved a 4 star classification in 2003, the same year that we built a new sanitary building. The sanitary building is well maintained and appears as new. Our main focus is service and cleanliness. It’s also important for us to have activities for all ages. We have lots of activities, for example a watertrampoline, SUP, rowboat, peddleboat, canoes, hiking and bicycles. We sell fishing licenses and fishing equipment in the reception. All activities except fishing are of course free of charge for our guests. The reception has a small selection of groceries. We have fresh bread and rolls every morning, just come by the day before to order it. We have highspeed internet on the entire campsite.

Bedbugs

Bedbugs in the cabin. We are bitten all over. We had to wash all our clothes that we brought. Manager booked us a hotel for the rest of our stay. I would have given 5 stars if this didn't happen, but this experience really sucks. I have even bite marks in my face!

Pleasant caravan site

Reviewed By GillianH52

This is a very pleasant place to stop for a night or two. On the water in beautiful « Oldendal» and just 20 minutes from the «Briksdal» glacier. With a number of viking trails accessable directly from the campsite. The facilites were clean though a little outdated and the camp was a little cramped. We would have given them 5 if not for this. The owners are pleasant and helpful. They have a selection of kajaks and boats that you can borrow free of charge. You can also rent an electric minicar for local trips.
