Finding specific campgrounds around the fjords near Bergen requires detailed local information.

 

As of my last update in January 2022, there may not be a comprehensive list available. However, I can guide you on how to find suitable camping sites:

1. Online Camping Directories:
   • Use online camping directories such as Camping.info, Pitchup.com, or Eurocampings.net. You can filter by location and read reviews from other campers.
2. Visit Norway’s Official Website:
   • Check Visit Norway’s official website or contact the local tourism office for information on campgrounds. They often have comprehensive lists and recommendations.
3. National Tourist Routes:
   • Norway has designated National Tourist Routes, some of which pass through the fjord areas. Information centers along these routes may have camping suggestions.
4. Apps for Camping:
   • Utilize camping apps like Campercontact, Park4Night, or iOverlander. These apps often provide user-generated information about campsites.
5. Local Knowledge:
   • Reach out to locals through online forums or social media groups. Residents and experienced travelers may have valuable insights into hidden gems.
6. Google Maps:
   • Search for campsites using Google Maps. You can look for symbols indicating camping areas, and user reviews might provide additional information.
7. Campground Chains:
   • Check if there are any major campground chains in the area, such as NAF Camp or others, and explore their offerings.

Before setting out, it’s crucial to consider the following:

• Permits and Regulations: Ensure you are aware of any permits required for camping and adhere to local regulations.
• Seasonal Variations: Some campsites may be seasonal, so check for availability based on your travel dates.
• Facilities: Consider the facilities provided by the campgrounds, such as toilets, showers, electricity, etc.
• Booking: Some popular campsites may require advance booking, especially during peak seasons.

Always confirm the latest information and conditions, as things might have changed since my last update in January 2022.
