Fredriksten Camping
CAMPGROUND €
( 69 18 40 32; Fredriksten Festning; tent with car Nkr150, 4-/5-bed cabins Nkr450/
700; )
A great location amid the trees and adjacent to the fortress makes this well-run
place a winner. It also offers minigolf and, after the fortress closes and the crowds disap-
pear, a quiet green spot to pitch a tent. There's an on-site restaurant selling various none-
too-healthy fried things.

The smart Park Hotel, 1.5km west of the centre, represents good
value thanks to its combination of attractively furnished, airy rooms and friendly staff.

The Grand Hotell, opposite the train station, has been recently ren-
ovated and has comfortable and functional rather than luxurious rooms, but the location is
good, as are the buffet breakfasts, which are included in the price.
