Karasjok Camping
CAMPGROUND
dm Nkr200, cabins Nkr370-1100)
Friendly Karasjok Camping occupies a hillside site with river views and a range of cabins.
Campers can pitch their tents on its particularly lush, springy grass. Everyone can lie back
on reindeer skins to the crackle of the nightly birch-wood fire in the cosy
lavvo
(Sami
tent).

About 6km from Karasjok along the Rv92, Sven Engholm has built this wonderful haven
in the forest with his own hands. Each rustic cabin is individually furnished with great
flair, with every item (from reindeer-horn toilet brushes to creative lampshades) hand-
carved by Sven. All have kitchen facilities and two have bathrooms. You sink into sleep to
the odd bark and yelp from the sled dogs.
A plentiful dinner costs Nkr300. Signed trails lead through the forest and barely a five-
minute stroll away there's a salmon stream with a fine beach, where you can rent a double
canoe (Nkr400 per day). You can also join the team on their daily puppy walk or, for
Nkr500, enjoy a boat ride on a nearby lake as the adult huskies run, yap and swim along-
side. There's also a sauna and a wood-heated outdoor hot tub.
