Campings around Bergen

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.

 

Camping stands out as a popular and cost-effective accommodation choice in Norway, and Bergen stands out with an array of campsites conveniently located within a 15-20 kilometer radius of the city center.
