CAMPING
Norway has more than 1000 campsites. Tent space ordinarily costs from Nkr90 at basic
campsites up to Nkr200 for those with better facilities or in popular or expensive areas,
such as Oslo and Bergen. Quoted prices usually include your car, motorcycle or caravan.
A per-person charge is also added in some places, electricity often costs a few kroner extra
and almost all places charge Nkr10 for showers.
Most campsites can also rent simple cabins with cooking facilities, starting at around
Nkr350 for a very basic two- or four-bed bunkhouse. Bring a sleeping bag, as linen and
blankets are provided only at an extra charge (anywhere from Nkr50 to Nkr100).
Unless you opt for a more expensive deluxe cabin with shower and toilet facilities
(Nkr750 to Nkr1200), you'll also have to pay for showers and washing water (there are a
fewexceptions).Normally,cabinoccupantsmustcleantheircabinbeforeleavingorpayan

Note that although a few complexes remain open year-round, tent and caravan sites are
closed in the off-season (normally early September to mid-May).
