Gon Camping & Strandstua

auto-translated: After a two-week tour of Norway, we took the place for two nights as a last stop before returning with the ferry Larvik-Hirtshals, because we wanted to enjoy some sunshine in the south in the archipelago. The place itself is very beautifully situated with a great bathing bay and sunny rocks. With the tent you can camp on the meadow near the bay but you get a place assigned, which we can only explain with the fact that it must have been so crowded last summer (before Corona). Now it was very relaxed, so that we also found it exaggerated that you were not allowed to put your car next to the tent. The sanitary facilities are ok, but we have seen much better ones. Somehow the place does not have as much charm as many smaller ones in the interior at the fjords. And a cheek: We were simply charged 300 NOK per night, although we read on the internet site later in the evening that a tent with 2 persons costs 200 NOK. By the way, electricity MUST be added (included in the expensive price), whether you want it or not! When we complained about the price the next morning, we were given back 100 NOK... The argumentation was that we had a medium sized tent with room for 4 persons, which is 250 NOK (for two nights 500 NOK). So they tried shamelessly to rip us off, so pay attention to the price! All in all we have the impression that the place uses its location close to the ferry terminal and does not need to motivate people to stay longer or come back. For 1, 2 nights but still very good thanks to the surroundings!

Tents get a place on the other side of the line. There you have a beautifull view at the sea/ Larvik fjord. The car goes on a parking lot after unpacking. The sanitair and kitchen (small but very good equiped) are very clean. The beach at the camping site is very good. During the day its quit and you have a lot of space. There is only one big minus for tents on Gon camping. Every morning there is noise because people who got to catch the boat break up very early.

auto-translated: For a night before departure by ferry, it's okay, but I have not experienced such a mass processing ... The seats have been assigned, everything was squeezed with RVs and tents, so you're sitting on your lap... quite a mess. But very nice public beach next door. Sanitary facilities are i.O., showers for 10NOK for 5 minutes, kitchen is very small.
