The 10 best Campgrounds in Nordland, Norway

April 29, 2023 Misti Hsu

Typified by steep mountains and the flat lowlands where they meet the Norwegian Sea, Nordland is known for its stunning scenery. The Lofoten Islands off the mainland are considered among the world's best for travelers and include unique attractions like the Lofotr Viking Museum at Borg. Saltstraumen near Bodo has the world's strongest tidal current. Further south, Vega has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its age-old lifestyle of fishing and eider duck down harvesting.

We stayed here during our road trip to Tromsø in a cabin with a great view on the fjord. Cabin was very very clean. Toilets and showers also clean and modern. Prices very reasonable. We sure recommend this place.

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 :)

Steer clear/ikke bra

Reviewed By smas8

Drittlukta ligger i en eim rundt deg og minner deg på den sprukne septiktanken som de ikke har tenkt å fikse på månedsvis... Sliten «rorbu» uten ovn eller mikro. På plussiden så virket faktisk wifi da. Styr unna dersom det finnes andre alternativer. The smell from the broken sewage tank was not a pleasant experience. They were not planning on fixing it either before the end of holiday season. The accomodations / rorbu can be best described as subpar (really run-down). If you have alternatives, book something else.

Booked this rorbu last minute and so glad that we did. It is located at the tip and we had an awesome view. It was just cosy and cute and most importantly clean. The girls at the reception were so helpful and sweet. We definitely recommend staying here when in Henningsvær.
