Camping in Norway: what to know

Season

Many campsites open from May to September, and quite a few all year. The season in the far north is short: June to August is best.

Wild camping

The right of access (allemannsretten) lets you pitch a tent on uncultivated land for up to two nights in the same place, at least 150 metres from the nearest inhabited house or cabin. In the mountains or far from buildings you may stay longer. There is a general ban on open fires in or near forests from 15 April to 15 September, with limited exceptions and possible additional local restrictions.

With a motorhome

The right of access does not cover vehicles: motorhomes must stay on roads and in parking areas. Overnight parking is often allowed at rest areas and car parks unless signs say otherwise, but busy places such as Lofoten increasingly ban it. Many campsites and bobilplasser offer water and waste disposal.

Rules vary by region and may change. Always check current local regulations and signs before you travel.
