Bogstad Camp & Turistsenter - Reviews

auto-translated: Very large facility. Some of the pitches are very uneven. Sanitary facilities are good but not as clean as they could be, probably because the site was very full. The site is good for a visit to Oslo, but too expensive for a whole holiday. The staff were not so friendly on arrival.
If I want to go to Oslo with a caravan I would come again, otherwise not.

auto-translated: Large campsite, partly under construction. No atmosphere. Large pitches, difficult to access in wet weather due to slope. Very luxurious sanitary facilities. Supermarket, petrol station next to campsite. Bus stop with connection to Oslo-Centre nearby. Good spot for visiting the capital.

auto-translated: Actually nice, but very crowded camp. Therefore, the showers and toilets are not so clean and it is too expensive.
It is also bad that there is only one sewage area in the camp and in the morning the campers pile up in front of it.

auto-translated: Very large complex, great sanitary facilities with family bathroom. Dishwashing and cooking house OK, unfortunately no stay inside to eat.hotplates only induction. unfortunately no hot dishwater. nice playground for children and small mini golf course. Bus connection directly in front of the site to the city centre in 30 minutes, supermarket directly in front of the site - top! but you also pay for that. 800 kroner/night for camper and 2 adults, only electricity and the usual gravel site with about 3m grass strip is really expensive.

auto-translated: Without a doubt a good and therefore heavily frequented site for a visit to Oslo (it is only a few steps to the bus stop). But with weaknesses that you would not expect from a "top camp" site. For example, in the cleanliness of the sanitary facilities. Seen in this light, 562 NOK for a standard pitch for a camper van with two people - without electricity - is quite steep. The fact that the washing machine didn't work and that a construction site provided a special noise backdrop even on a Sunday should only be mentioned in passing.

auto-translated: Very nice facility. The sanitary facilities are new and clean. There are even family showers and extra children's showers with baby bath. A mini golf course is being built and a small playground for children was also centrally located. A real recommendation who wants to see Oslo.

auto-translated: Large, quiet place.
Sanitary facilities modern, top maintained and with very many showers, wash cabins, toilets. The kitchen is also top.
On the site there is a playground and directly in front of a supermarket.

auto-translated: We had a simple cottage for 3 days. Ie 2 bunk beds and 1 table, bed linen and towels for 120 €.

Yes, the spot itself is fine. However since topcamp took over it changed to the worse. I understand that the new facilities need to be payed for. But I consider dirty bathrooms cleaned once per day and a pitch for 500 NOK just a rip off. Soap was empty, trashcans full of paper towels. Floor dirty. Three laundromats and three dryers for 800 pitches?? And one bathroom shack? You gotta be kidding me.

It's a monopoly. Ekeberg is the same owner.

auto-translated: The facility is beautiful and well maintained. The staff nice. However, it was so crowded that we had a place without electricity. This site is probably more for tents, because quite hilly. The sanitary facilities in front are top. There are also showers and toilets together in the entrance area suitable for families. A new mini golf course is under construction and next door is a Kiwi market.

auto-translated: Large well maintained campsite with friendly staff. Sanitary facilities modern and clean. Pitches large, gravelled with adjacent lawn. Wifi worked unfortunately only at the reception. Gas station and Kiwi market at the site. Bus connection to the city perfect.
To visit Oslo a very good starting point.

auto-translated: neat clean cottage with bed linen, 1a sanitary facilities, bus to the city center directly at the entrance every 15min, no WLAN, supermarket next door open 7 days

auto-translated: new clean sanitary facilities. good bus connections to the city. a bit more expensive, but OK

auto-translated: Nice campsite with direct bus connection to the city

However, we were not told that at the moment there is a construction site and the start at 8:00 ...

Sanitary facilities mega big and very very clean!

Since we were there in March and was not yet the season, we got a discount and did not have to pay the full price

auto-translated: The campground is very well maintained and there are many neat facilities. The showers looked super new and were clean only the jet and temperature were not great.

Typical city camping with relatively high noise and people. The location is perfect for taking public transportation into the city.

This was the most expensive campground we had the entire vacation. Average was 250-300 per night, this one was 545. For this amount of money I think t is very bad that there is no wifi on the pitches in 2021.

In short, nice neat camping where everything is tightly arranged. Only personally I find the campsite too expensive making it not worthwhile.

auto-translated: Very large campsite near Oslo. As is usual and expected in a large city, the campsite is very well attended in the high season (including norw. Holidays) and accordingly full. We were recommended a pitch, we followed this requirement and found it appropriate for the amount of places.
There was always a free cabin for showering or a toilet. The sanitary facilities looked freshly renovated and always clean

auto-translated: Very well maintained and large place. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good bus connection to the city. Holmenkollen can be reached in 45 minutes on foot. Tickets for public transport and Oslocard are available at the reception. Top sanitary building.
So everything you would expect from a place like this. And you have to pay for it. The shower for 15 NOK is also bearable.
Now a little whining on a high level. The modern shower cabins are big enough for me. But what does a grown Nordmann do? A few centimeters more would not be bad. In the wash cabins the light barrier of the water tap is annoying. The few seconds are not even enough to rinse out the razor. That works better.

auto-translated: Large square on the outskirts of Oslo. Top sanitary facilities. By bus in approx. 30 minutes in the city centre.

auto-translated: Big tent meadow. You can hear the road. Nice groups of trees. Long ways to sanitary buildings and to the lake. Quite expensive. WLAN not available on the tent meadow. Good bus connection to Oslo. Supermarket directly in front of the campsite. No restaurant business.

auto-translated: We spent the night in a hut, well and sufficiently equipped.

auto-translated: it is our first place on our Norway trip and we are totally enthusiastic about the sanitary facilities and the place. At the moment there is almost nothing going on and we could choose our place in a certain area ourselves. We have not been to other places yet and can hardly evaluate the value for money. We pay about 80€ for 2 nights with camping bus and electricity. Showers cost extra, but that seems to be the case everywhere. In addition to normal showers and toilets there are 8 sperate bathrooms with toilet, shower and washbasin as a single cabin.

auto-translated: Norway's largest campsite in a good location. With the bus no. 32, which departs directly from the campsite, you can reach the city centre in about 30 minutes. There was a lot going on during our visit, so that we only got one pitch without electricity. If one wants to be on the safe side and needs electricity, then arrive early or reserve in advance. But if you stand a little "off the beaten track" and keep a little distance from the kitchen-toilet, you have peace and a lot of space. There is a small minigolf course and access to the lake. The sanitary facilities are in order and clean for the large course. Unfortunately, the staff at the reception, which is open 24 hours a day, are constantly annoyed.

auto-translated: One of the most beautiful campsites I know, great location, Holmenkollen within walking distance, bus to the city...buy an Oslo ticket, it's worth it!

auto-translated: Unfortunately we were not allowed on the place, although we had reserved, because our VW bus has no roof and we may not sleep for safety reasons in our bus. I've never heard anything like that before!

New sanitary facilities. Great location and walking distanse to nearby lake.

auto-translated: Sanitary facilities just made new - tip top !

Pro: Close to Oslo, nice landscape around. Con: Very expensive (420 NOK for 2P, light tent + car) - well it is Norway but still there are cheaper sites with nicer surroundings a bit further away from Oslo. Even though the site itself is okay, theres a loud road nearby, sanitary facilities are just average, especially for the price.

auto-translated: very expensive, but the only campground in Oslo in May 415 NOK with electricity, NOK 15 for 5 minutes showers is ok. very well maintained sanitary facilities, which are cleaned several times a day.

auto-translated: The place lives up to its name as the largest in Norway. By the end of May it was already well filled, in summer it should be much more crowded. Sanitary facilities are available in large numbers and were always in a clean condition. The kitchen also offers larger capacities with 8-10 2x2 hotplates, 2 ovens and many sinks. A shortcoming in the kitchen: It heats up very quickly and the ventilation options are low.
The grounds are quite green and there is plenty for children to play.
The biggest and only negative point is the price: For 2 people in the camper with electricity and 1 shower (6 minutes) per person we paid 400 NOK. The most expensive overnight of the holiday and we were almost in every corner of Norway.

But if you want to see Oslo for 1-2 days, this is the place for you. Public transport is close and with the bike we have down 30 and high (steadily uphill, a certain fitness should be available) 45 min needed.

auto-translated: Arrive early, public transport stops right in front of the place, ideal starting point for sightseeing Oslo

auto-translated: Typical city campsite. Womo + 2 pers. 400 Nkr.
Showers (no time limit) incl.
WLAN likewise, reception however only in the reception and their immediate environment.
Sanitary clean. From the square on foot to Holmenkollen in 45min., In the city center directly by bus (stop directly at the square). 24h card per person 105 NKr. One-way bus 55 NKr if booked by Ruter-App 35 Nkr. Duration bus ride about 30min.
At the place small supermarket. RV parks parceled out. Space is allocated.

auto-translated: The place was very crowded. Had to wait a long time at the front desk and the staff was very annoyed. The cottage including bathroom was very spacious and clean. Nice terrace. Good starting point to explore Oslo. Price was a bit more expensive compared to previous campsites.

auto-translated: big city camping, very busy. for one night okay. coworker suuper nice! kiwi market on the spot. sanitary facilities as far as clean, one night 450 kroner incl. two showers and electricity. Checkout until 4pm :)

Immense campground, 30 minutes (by bus) from the city center of Oslo. Well organized, but check in for camping takes a while. Since we didn't want any electricity, we could cut the line and save some time. The tent area itself is quite large - both in the shade of trees and in the sun. The soil is good.
The price (with 360 NOK a night for a tent) was quite far from the comfort zone, but since it's the capital in the summer I had already expected this. Showers are 15 NOK and you have to load this amount on your entry chip card at the reception. The reception has everything you might possibly need for the stay (day ticket for public transport, Oslo pass, up to date guides, brochures etc.).
Checkout is at 16:00 which is really fair.

auto-translated: Goods were positively surprised. The individual pitches are quite large, therefore enough space to the neighbors.
The toilets are big enough and clean.
By bus in 30 minutes in the center.
In total to recommend for a visit to Oslo.

auto-translated: The places were close together. Sanitary was okay. friendly reception. You could buy a bus ticket to travel all day in Oslo, very useful. there is a minigolf course on the campsite and playground for children. shower and WiFi paid.

auto-translated: It is the largest campsite in Norway - means: super many people on a large area. The sanitary facilities have really not been nice (big, overcrowded, dirty, old), the place otherwise quite okay. Supermarket directly in front, surroundings were quite nice (jogging trail down through woods recommended + holmenkollen sightseeing). Down into the city either with bike (attention: back because of mountain super exhausting), or with BusMetro in 30 min there. Buy tickets before, otherwise more expensive. Conclusion: place uncomfortable and old, city connection okay, surroundings quite nice.

auto-translated: After many negative recessions, we still drove here today. The place is in top condition. Every guest gets his assigned parking space. The sanitary facilities are cleaned several times a day. Whoever sees dirt there may have caused it himself????? Or do you throw your toilet paper on the floor at home? Reception multilingual and very friendly. To the Holmenkollen hill 3km. With bicycle we were fast there. Day ticket bus for 90 NOK directly in front of the door to the city centre. Petrol station and Minimark in front of the reception. Absolutely recommendable.

auto-translated: very large space, good sanitary facilities, WLAN for free, e-gas station and gas station on site. Oslo easy to reach.
recommendable

auto-translated: By far the worst campsite in Norway. Staff totally inflexible, there is no electricity for campers, although there are enough sockets. For the already extremely expensive campsite the showers are not even included. But these are much too little and constantly dirty. But for 15 crowns you can take a "cold" shower. The place is catastrophic, look for you rather an alternative.

auto-translated: It is of course a camping site in the city and therefore rather a check-in for many tourists. We were there in July and found a nice quiet place for our tent. Showers etc. were ok and from Bogstad you can explore the city very well. Of course I wouldn't go there for two weeks, but you know that before.

auto-translated: City camping. Overcrowded (in April) and unkempt. Good connection to the city centre.
