Åros Feriesenter AS - Reviews

auto-translated: I was very disappointed with the site. When asked if they had a pitch, it said yes everywhere where is free, but there were no places at all. On a small corner we have then put the camper. The huts were all occupied with refugees so that we felt very uncomfortable there. In the evening the sanitary facilities were devastated by the children.
The price was very expensive with 480 NOK without shower.
I would definitely not recommend this place.

auto-translated: few spots for campers..if nothing else..okay..drove on to other campground...it looked promising on the website...spots among the annual spots or 3 spots in the parking lot by the harbor...got my money back very nicely....

auto-translated: Tent meadow directly in front of the accommodation on the paths and parking lot, so not so quiet. For 200NOK (showers cost 20NOK extra) and strategically short way to the ferry for one night fully ok. Heated pool for 100NOK as well as bar.

auto-translated: The cottage was very nice, clean and well equipped. The highlight was the tempered salt water pool.
For tents, the site seems to be less suitable, as the very limited area is located directly at the "main hub" of the site.
The location of the site is super if you want to explore the surroundings of Kristiansand.

auto-translated: Large vacation campsite directly on the sea with beautiful beach, correspondingly noisy but still within limits. Tent meadow was very small and crowded and not particularly beautifully located. From there it is very far to the kitchen. 60 NOK per person and then still pay for showers we have felt as impudence.

auto-translated: Great place if you arrive late on the ferry. Really a vacation center with bustle, not for the peace seekers

auto-translated: We were here one night. The place is 20 min away from the ferry in Kristiansand. The WoMo places are a bit confusingly distributed between the permanent campers, everything else OK. The beach has a playground, sand and shallow water for splashing - I found it very suitable for children. Pool not tested.

Stay away from this place, until they fix their broken laundry service, and other services!

First, their laundry machine in one place didn’t work, the other laundry did not work properly and damaged my cloth, as i started with the laundry and don’t go yet to my cabin, I called the lady at the reception telling her that the place is not good and I don’t want to stay here anymore and finding another place, at this stage I didn’t even enter the cabin, I asked her for a refund as I am leaving, she refused giving me the argument that reception is closed while she can answer the phone!

This place is unprofessional, and above all, will ruin every thing you know about Norway, stay away from it!

auto-translated: Very nice campsite, nice spacious cottage, extra bedroom with door (we were in a 6 bed cottage near beach). Underfloor heating in the bathroom :). The children liked the beach, the playground and especially the heated pool with sea water. We arrived in the early afternoon and there was nobody in the pool yet. Clean and friendly staff.

auto-translated: We thought the facility was very nice. Good, modern and clean sanitary facilities and nice location on a beautiful beach for bathing and walking. Dogs are welcome. I found it very cheap, for only 15Eur we could spend the night in a tent (total, not per person). Arriving late at night is no problem, just choose a place. The tent meadow was too far away for us, we looked for a place in the middle of it. Was also in order.

auto-translated: We stayed 5 days at this campsite to explore the area and wait for our ferry. The campsite according to the website a heated saltwater pool (26 C). The use costs extra (NOK 75/100 NOK) per day and the pool was unaccompanied and only open on weekends. 300 NOK for 4 adults + 50 NOK electricity + 20 NOK showers (5 minutes). In the men 3 out of 5 showers were still usable only with Kalkwasser. Complaints were ignored. Hot water for rinsing costs extra (1 NOK per 1 minute)
Pitch on gravel. Sanitary facilities were cleaned once a day.
Suitable as a campsite for 1 night. Not for a longer stay.

auto-translated: After arriving by ferry in Kristiansand we spent one night with the roof tent. Definitely a little more expensive than most of the other campsites we have visited. The place is (probably due to the transit traffic) pretty well visited and therefore loud late into the night. Sanitary clean, reception unfortunately not always occupied.

auto-translated: For the first night just fine - not mine for length. But main thing out of the fray at the ferry. Good, even if you arrive at night - just up on the square and registration is very relaxed the next day. Quite clean sanitary facilities.

auto-translated: The price / performance ratio outside the Norwegian holiday season does not fit.
Leisure facilities such as kiosk and beach bar are completely closed.
Sanitary facilities insufficiently clean.
Conclusion:
This place is ok for one night towards Kristiansand. There are better places for several days.

We have stayed here 4 nights. The places for those who are there just for a short period of time are back those who have fast places, therefore it was complicated to came in and out with the car and the caravan. Sanitary clean but showers costs too much compared to other campingsites. (20 kr ca. 5 min). They have a pool with warm saltwater, great for kids but the sanitary at the pool was extremely dirty and the had just cold water at the showers. Poor internet.

auto-translated: 1 night for transit, so not much seen from the square.

Toilets and showers clean. Showering requires the purchase of a shower card.

Pitch for camper / caravan in the rain full of puddles. In principle, but in order.

Reservation in advance uncomplicated.

Reception however only sporadically occupied.

auto-translated: Very nice beach. Great environment. Clean.

auto-translated: We have this place because of the proximity to Kristiansand (ferry) and our impression because of the homepage of the place.

Positive: heated swimming pool, beautiful sandy beach
Negative: Tent and parking lot meadow lies uncharitably directly at the access road. Electricity only accessible with extra extension cable.
