Ulvik Fjord Camping
Ulvik was discovered by tourists 150 years ago when the first liners started operating to the head of Hardangerfjord. This pretty little site is 500 m. from the centre of the town. It occupies what must once have been a small orchard running down to the fjord, beside a small stream. There is room for about 80 units, 32 with electricity connections, and six cabins, all on undulating ground that slopes towards the fjord and a sheltered area for boating, fishing and barbecues. The site is linked to a hotel, and campers benefit from access to its facilities.
Sundal Camping
Maurangerfjord is a steep-sided arm leading off the eastern shore of the middle reaches of the Hardangerfjord. Sundal Camping is divided into two sections: a wooded waterfront site, between the local road and the fjord, which combines camping with a small marina; and an open meadow site uphill of the local road. In total there are 60 pitches for touring and ten cabins for hire. Sundal is not only ideally situated for Folgefonn; it is also the nearest site to the charming small town of Rosendal, famous for the stately home of the celebrated Rosenkrantz family. The village of Mauranger commands magnificent views across the waters. Cutting through the village is a turbulent stream, popular with those in search of trout.
Camping Saltkjelsnes
Saltkjelsnes Camping is a terraced site and camp with sloping grounds situated in beautiful natural surroundings on a peninsula by the Rødvenfjord. It is in Eidsbygda, Møre og Romsdal, located by the sea. There are 44 grass/hardstanding touring pitches with 16/10-amp hook-up points. 15 seasonal pitches. Also, 15 hikers' cabins and bungalows/chalets are available to hire.
Eikhamrane Camping
For those seeking peace and quiet on the western shore of Sørfjord is Eikhamrane Camping. Arranged on a well landscaped and partly terraced field which slopes to a pebbly lakeside beach and quay. Formerly part of an orchard, which still extends on both sides of the site, there is room for 40 units on unmarked, well kept grass, 20 with electricity hook-ups (10A). There are attractive trees and good gravel roads, with areas of gravel hardstanding for poor weather. Many pitches overlook the fjord where there are also picnic benches, which afford the occasional glimpse of porpoises searching for mackerel.
Odda Camping
The industrial town of Odda is bordered by the Folgefonna glacier and the Hardangervidda plateau. This site has been attractively developed on the town’s southern outskirts. It occupies 2.5 acres of flat, mature woodland divided into small clearings by massive boulders. Access is by well tended tarmac roads that wind their way among the trees and boulders to 55 touring pitches including 36 with electricity. The site fills up in the evenings and can be crowded with facilities stretched from the end of June to early August. It also operates a motorhome facility on the quay in Odda for 40 units (coin-operated payment).
Ringøy Camping
Although the village of Ringøy is quiet and peaceful, it lies midway between two principal crossing points of Upper Hardangerfjord, the Kinsarvik ferry and the remarkable Hardanger suspension bridge, near the junction of two key routes. Extensive landscaping has produced a series of terraces running down from the road to the tree-lined fjord and the shore area where pitches have individual rock campfires. The owners, the Raunsgard family, are particularly proud of the site’s remarkable shore-side barbecue facilities. There is no reception, so on arrival you find a place and someone will call between 20.00 and 21.00.
Geiranger Camping
Geiranger Camping enjoys a prime location in the very heart of Geiranger village, offering stunning views of the iconic Geirangerfjord and the impressive cruise ships that often anchor nearby. Situated right on the shoreline at the end of the fjord, it provides an excellent base for exploring the area's natural beauty and attractions.
Byrkjelo Camping

The road through the site is often used by heavy vehicles accessing the nearby industrial units, so don't expect peace and quiet.

Stordal Camping
Stordal Camping is situated on the shores of Storfjorden where high forested valley sides open to an inlet where the Stordalselva salmon river enters the fjord. It is an ideal location for fishing and boating but also a peaceful base to explore sights like Trollstigen and Muldalfossen, the fourth highest waterfall in the world. Modern sanitary facilities housed in traditional wooden buildings with turf roofs serve 30 touring pitches, 18 with access to electricity points (16A). Passing cruise ships head for Gerainger or Ålesund and both of these popular places are easily accessed by road.
Botnen Camping
For those travelling north on the E39 beyond Bergen, there are surprisingly few attractive sites until one reaches the southern shore of the mighty Sognefjord, close to the ferry crossing from Oppedal to Lavik. A left turn towards Brekke takes you to the family-run Botnen Camping overlooking the fjord and with wonderful views of distant mountains.
