Amlasanden fjordcamping

auto-translated: The site is divided into two parts by the road and is situated right by the fjord. The smaller section, right by the water, has only a limited number of pitches, and these are very tight and, naturally, fill up quickly. The pitches in the rear section are more spacious and there are plenty of them. It’s not advisable to park right by the main access road, as the track is very dusty! The pitches at the edge are green and spacious. We paid 390 NOK without electricity for two people in our van. That’s relatively cheap for this area. The site is run by the Amble Gråd apple and cider farm, which is situated a few metres further up the hill. You can buy their non-alcoholic products in the barn right next to the campsite. If you’d like to buy cider, you can visit the shop at the farm itself. There is no reception at the campsite; instead, you simply park in a free pitch and pay via PayPal or to the attendant between 8 pm and 9 pm. The showers are paid for directly by credit card and cost 20 NOK for 5 minutes. The shower cubicles are spacious, but unfortunately quite dirty. As the shower heads are fixed in place, you can only rinse off the dirt to a limited extent. There is also no kitchen, just two sinks, which are, however, located outside by the house. And there’s no room for shaving or your morning wash; there are just two washbasins, which are also mounted directly on the wall outdoors. You see this sort of thing in Italy, where it’s always warm, but here in the north, in my view, it’s a poor solution. There isn’t a single power socket anywhere on the premises for electric razors, hairdryers or other appliances. To sum up, the site is fine if, for example, you want to visit Kaupanger Church, but it’s not a good place for a longer stay.

auto-translated: Very cosy place, very unconventional. We will definitely be back.

auto-translated: Beautiful location, clean sanitary facilities, spacious showers. Surroundings look well-kept. Payment online or by credit card in the evening when the owner arrives at 9pm. Showers with coins, which you can take and also pay online.
