Camping
Scandinavian campgrounds are practical, comfortable, and cheap (about $10/
person with $20 camping card, available on the spot). This is the middle-class
Scandinavian family way to travel: safe, great social fun, and no reservation
problems. Campgrounds are friendly, safe, more central and convenient than
rustic, and rarely full.
The national tourist office websites have campground listings, but for
more comprehensive guides, visit these websites: www.camping.se (Sweden),
www.camping.dk (Denmark), and www.camping.no (Norway). Your homet-
own travel bookstore should also have guidebooks on camping in Europe.
You'll find campgrounds just about everywhere you need them.
