Kjerag Lysebotn Camping Resort - Reviews

auto-translated: Great campsite to prepare for the hike up Kjerag.
Super view of a fjord.Waterfalls everywhere.Showers and sanitary facilities as good as new.

We chose to stay at this place due to its proximity to Kjerag, which made it a convenient option for our climb. The location itself is stunning, with beautiful cliffs, a waterfall, and a lack of wind. However, we experienced some issues during our stay. When it rained, the pitch became soaked with water, which was inconvenient. Additionally, the sanitary facilities were adequate, but unfortunately, they were not cleaned throughout the three nights we stayed there. The shower drain was clogged with hair, causing water to accumulate. Furthermore, the kitchen was extremely dirty. Although the showers were free of charge, the water temperature could not be regulated, and it tended to be quite cold. If we decide to climb Kjerag again, we will definitely explore other accommodation options for a better experience.

auto-translated: A really great campsite. It even has a small pub. The sanitary facilities are also great and there are plenty of them. The view from the campsite alone is worth a visit.

Great setting between the cliffs. Big waterfall next to the campsite. We left sooner than we planned due to hard music of some guests during the night. We asked the camp management to do something about it which they promised. The music stopped at 3:30 AM! We decided to move on.

auto-translated: Fine campground but you are not allowed with your vehicle

by chance i was there during a base jumping festival. it was a bit noisy because of the helicopters, but the atmosphere was amazing. the place has fantastic scenery and everything a campground needs. bar and staff were great as well.

auto-translated: Great campsite for when you go climbing the Kjeragsbolten

Good camping with good facilities. Very good kitchen.

auto-translated: i can only advise against it. we were there for a few days. every morning around 8 o'clock helicopters flew to bring building material to the nearby power station.
it was very loud all the time.
yes the panorama is mega but for that it is too loud here too full.
Sanitary facilities are ok. showers etc. in the price with in. have paid per night with time electricity and 2 persons 360 NOK.

auto-translated: Staff nice and friendly.
Refrigerator has not been cleaned for a while.
Otherwise okay.
Cabin with only 2 beds 800NOK.
Cabin with 5 beds kitchen and bathroom 1700NOK. Much too expensive.

auto-translated: Electricity is hard to get for tents; if you want to take the car with you, you have to pay NOK 50 extra. Sanitary facilities are clean, the pitch is extremely expensive. For one to see the Kjeragbolten ok, for more I wouldn't want to stay.

auto-translated: I've only been here one night. Very clean and good sanitary facilities. There is a kitchen where you can eat. All in all a very good campsite.

Price: ~260kr per night
Wifi: ? (I forgot)
Shower: Free
Kitchen: Yes
Water cooker: Yes

Clean and sufficient showers and toilets. Kitchen has appropriate size. Amazing location!

auto-translated: It was a pure overnight place for us.
Can't complain at all. Price performance were completely in order!
Staff friendly and helpful.
Sanitary facilities clean!
You are in a valley at the edge of a very big fjord...of course it was cool and windy...that's Norway

auto-translated: When I signed up, I was received very unpleasantly, so from above down. At first I thought they didn't want me. The place is fine. The showers are new. The biggest, the showers are included in the price, you don't have to jump for the crowns again and again. I think now the WC facilities will be renewed.

auto-translated: So ... because of the bad Vorwerten something new.
showers and toilets redone and clean. Good meadow for tents. Driving with car and motorcycle prohibited. There are carts for transport. 6 huts in 3 different sizes, from 2019 Should there be a supermarket in the square (under construction). The nearest supermarket is an hour away.

auto-translated: Sanitary is partly new, the place but chaotic. The visitors also at least during my visit rather not trustworthy

auto-translated: The arrival is very difficult with the camper, strong serpentine and gradients, not necessarily an optimal place for campers.
The pitches of the motorhomes are not very inviting. The sanitary facilities are functional, but that's about it.

For camping, the course offers large areas on beautiful terrain.

Unfortunately we would not come back here.

auto-translated: The course is right on the Lysefjord and the location is terrific. However, the team seemed very demotivated at least during our visit and the sanitary facilities were functional, but have certainly seen better times.

auto-translated: Place at the end of the Lysefjord. The air of the adrenalin of the Basejumper ... Absolutely worth seeing. Starting point for Kjerag. Space logically full but usable for a few days. Do not expect too much from the facilities.

This was the first camping on our tour in Norway and it was super nice. Parking space for cars, vast tent campsite, excellent view in the fjord, bar, clean kitchen and toilets... what else can you ask for. Good place to camp if you are heading for Kjerag. Wifi at the bar is free.

auto-translated: The location is fantastic - campground beautiful, RV parking an impertinence. The lady at the front desk was very nice and tried hard. The toilets were telweise renovated, newly tiled and new toilet bowls and sink, the partition walls in between but still old and filing when showering nil. You could really do more with this situation, maybe it will be better in the future. At the moment much too expensive for the offered. During our night until evening noisy construction next to the RV park. OK for one night.

auto-translated: Super panorama, square, pub and cashiery in order, but the hot water problem you still have not got the turn?
Tent without electricity 2 people 220 NOK + 20 NOK shower (cold in the evening because overloaded)

auto-translated: A lot has happened!
In 2014 we were there for the first time and sanitary facilities and the place was really bad back then! BUT:
We spent just (2018) four days on the pitch and were very pleasantly surprised!
The showers and toilets were apparently renovated and are kept clean, several times a day you can see the staff and the use of all common kitchen with microwave, two oven plates with oven combination, sink and kettle clean and empty the garbage. Spüli, rags, two pots and a pan are for everyone to use and it is also nice here when cooking with others to talk.
In addition, the very large tent meadow with fjord view no longer with cars o.Ä. Weighing is available for transporting luggage. This does the meadow very well and also ensures that even in the rain, the people do not carry 5kg sludge more in the sanitary facilities ...
Meanwhile there is a small restaurant / reception / stay possibility with wooden terrace and fjord view, where it is really comfortable.
The place for campers is not very big, but absolutely sufficient for the more remote place.
We especially liked the atmosphere at the campsite, which was very open and friendly due to the many base jumpers who had their base camp there. It was also every day a highlight when some of the jumpers landed on the campsite. We'll be back for sure and we're curious if the small shopping market has been completed by then.

The worst is that we here is not hot wother in showers.

auto-translated: This CG is an insolence. We actually wanted to spend the night here before Kjeragbolten and were there at noon. Due to full*** toilet bowls, all sorts of dirt in the washbasins, horrendous prices and carefully expressed "bizarre" employees, we returned to the Skulesar CP and will leave for Kjeragbolten from here.

nice scenery good for one night shower Need an extra payment

auto-translated: Sanitary's not clean, but okay for one night.

auto-translated: + good location

- too expensive (250NOK for 2 persons with tent)
- terribly unhygienic sanitary facilities
- no hot water in the showers despite payment

Conclusion: Unfortunately the only campsite near Kjeragbolten. Not even the great view can compensate for the dirty campsite...
Tip: Better to camp wild in another place near the Kjeragbolten.

auto-translated: 220NOK for 2 persons,car,tent

Sanitary facilities not particularly clean. Kitchen dirty and outdated.
Camping site is situated by the fjord, but not directly by the water. During our stay the meadow was very muddy and washed up by campers and cars.
WLAN only worked at the reception, which should be a small pub at the same time.

It is about 5km from the car park to Kjerag. It is worth to start the tour early, otherwise the road is overcrowded.

We stayed at the hostel dormitory room. We had to pay 60 NOK for each of us for our linens.(sleeping bag was not allowed.) It was costly for hostel room but room was clean and nice. Kitchen was also fully equipped and easy to use. However shower and toilet which is located separately from hostel was quite bad shape. There were only 2 toilets per gender for camping site and hostel.

Basic cam with nice personnel, beautiful surroundings but the kitchen and the showers/toilets are awful, always crowded and not clean.Unfortunately this is the only camp option in the area.

You don't have many options before/after hiking Kjerag.
- Showers are very uncomfortable, dirty and water was cold.
+ Breathtaking view. Nice grass field. Cafe offering drinks and some choice of food - working late.

very nice grass field. the river close by. a lot of sheeps. 1000m high moungain walls. a lot of base jumpers landing beside the tent.
