Mosvangen Camping Stavanger - Reviews

auto-translated: Stavanger is a hub and therefore the site is full, you should come early! Peace and quiet? It's okay... depends on where you have your pitch. But everything else is top, kitchen great, sanitary facilities very clean, washing machine and dryer are available. Very nice and helpful staff. The campsite is about half an hour on foot from the beautiful center/harbor. Anytime again ️

auto-translated: The site is absolutely full now in July. In the evening, the operator uses every corner for vehicles. Overall, it has the atmosphere of a huge motorhome parking lot, which most people use as a spot for a day trip into the city.
Harbor reachable on foot, 2.5 km in 30 minutes, or by bus. Bus stop about 5 minutes away. No bread sales on the site, but a bakery with a small supermarket is reachable in 3 minutes on foot.

auto-translated: The campsite is within walking distance, a 35-minute walk, from the center of Stavanger. The surroundings are park-like, but the campsite is far too full. There is a lot of noise, the tent field is right next to the main road, and you can also hear music from the city?
The sanitary building is neat, the shower and WiFi are "free".
The price-quality ratio is not okay, in my opinion. We paid for 2 nights: 1900 kroner for 1 small family tent (3- to 4-person) and a small extra tent. We have no electricity and our car with trailer is parked far away.

auto-translated: The pitch is very close to the centre. We were allocated a pitch on the upper part, close to the road. It was very noisy there during the day - no relaxing on the pitch. The motorhomes are in the dip and are therefore quieter. At night, however, you have peace and quiet from the road. Several paths for pedestrians and cyclists run through the site. This was a bit strange for me. We were only on the pitch for 2 nights. You can get to the town (harbour) by bus (relatively expensive) or in 40 minutes on foot. The wash house seems very sterile, but was very clean at all times.

auto-translated: Very large but beautifully located campsite, nice cycle routes to the city centre, clean and modern sanitary facilities, the only disadvantage was that you couldn't regulate the water temperature yourself - it was preset. Staff very friendly and everything very well organised. However, a lot of travelling to and from the campsite.

auto-translated: Separate pitches for motorhomes larger than 8 metres, parking space for the vehicle with small gravel, not all pitches are straight, small grass area next to the pitches, decent sanitary facilities (few shelves in the showers). The site is next to a public (warm) outdoor pool. Distance to the town (harbour) approx. 3 km. Very easy to reach by bike. Bus stop in the immediate vicinity.

auto-translated: A pleasant campsite and a very friendly welcome; they do everything they can to find you a spot. The sanitary facilities are very good and modern. Everything you need is available. A bakery and supermarket (Joker) are 100 meters away. A municipal swimming pool is next to the campsite. We paid Nkr. 500 for a camper with two people and electricity.

auto-translated: We arrived there at around 4pm. It was already super crowded. There were already people with their camper vans outside the entrance. We were given a choice of 4 pitches near the playground. However, they were all a disaster. They were completely muddy and there were thousands of mayflies flying around. We were really disgusted. The pitches would have been too expensive for a gift. We drove on, even though our child fell in love with the playground and the swimming pool straight away.

auto-translated: A beautiful place near the centre of Stavanger. You can get there on foot in three quarters of an hour.
Due to the proximity to the centre, you can hear the road next to the pitch, but this is not too disturbing.
The sanitary facilities are clean and well maintained and there is no time limit on showering.

auto-translated: Large CP close to the city centre, 45 min. walk to the harbour. Drop-in only, it gets full from 3pm at the latest. Relatively quiet location, pitches near the reception are on gravel. Sanitary facilities adequate and clean, staff very helpful.

auto-translated: We arrived at around 5 pm. Unfortunately there was only one pitch left without electricity and far away from the sanitary facilities. I think 500 kr for a pitch behind an old house on the road without electricity is steep. Otherwise the site had everything you need. Even a swimming pool. You could walk to the city centre in 30 minutes.

auto-translated: Beautiful campsite by the lake with good bus connections to the town.
Waiting times in the sanitary facilities when fully booked. Very friendly staff.

auto-translated: Hi, the site was easy to find, staff super friendly, electricity and shower included, as usual in Norway there is a kitchen included, walking distance to town, Stavanger has a cosy city centre.

auto-translated: Central campsite to explore the city by bus or for other activities.
other activities. There is covered seating and a kitchen. Sanitary facilities are super clean. Nice communication. It's worth arriving early as the site fills up quickly. Free wifi and showers available.

auto-translated: We stopped here for 2 nights. The location of the campsite is very central. Shopping facilities in the immediate vicinity, 12 minutes on foot with a car 2 minutes away. The site is designed more for motorhomes, as the pitches are not very large and you have to make sure your car fits next to it without taking up the next pitch. There is a kitchen with a cooker (some of them were very dirty) and washing-up facilities, and a covered terrace in front of it. Washing machines and dryers are also available (each for 60 NOK extra). Sanitary facilities were clean. Now for our criticism on a high level, the barrier is closed from 8 pm as soon as the reception is no longer occupied, i.e. if you are not back at the site before 8 pm, you can no longer get up. We didn't find that ideal. And in the showers, it is not possible to regulate the temperature or water pressure individually. All no drama, but these were 2 points that bothered us a bit.

auto-translated: The campground gets very crowded very quickly. Early check-in ensures a pitch.
Due to its central location, you can reach the center quite well on foot, bike or cab (humane prices).
The staff is very friendly and helpful and the sanitary facilities are sufficient and well maintained.
For 2 nights with camper incl. 2 people, electricity and showers we paid 900 NOK.
WLAN is also available.

auto-translated: It's Saturday and the place is crowded. One lets in which only goes.
NOK 490 incl. Electricity, Du..,
Wlan (overloaded).It is not a camp.place but a narrow WoMo place with small lawns between the cars. Reception and briefing is good.

auto-translated: The campsite is located in a park, which is why public paths lead across the site, which I found to take some getting used to. From the campsite, the town is easy to reach on foot or by bus. Sanitary facilities are clean. There is a kitchen with a covered outdoor seating area. However, I find NOK 400 for a tent with a car and 2 people a bit too expensive.

auto-translated: Super spot if you want to visit Stavanger. We stood overlooking the lake, where people were constantly jogging, walking and cycling. Round trip to the lake is about 3 km. Clean sanitary facilities, kitchen available. Bus 4 to the city stops near the campsite.

auto-translated: As it is the only campsite in Stavanger, it gets very crowded during the day. The location is perfect, you can walk to the city centre in about 30 minutes. The sanitary facilities are new and sufficient and are always cleaned. As we were there in bad weather, we were glad to have cooking facilities and covered seating.

auto-translated: Very close to the centre (10 min by bike), very busy. Many stay only one night. Sanitary / kitchen in order. It is cleaned very often = very clean. If you have a larger vehicle, you should arrive early, as from 4 pm there was always a sign saying "Vehicles <6 m only". For this size, the site is top and clean and tidy.

auto-translated: Nice campsite, right near the city. Very its
clean and large sanitary facilities. However, very crowded...

auto-translated: Very full and little space.
Sanitary facilities very clean.
The lake directly adjacent invites you to go for a walk.
Overall, not a place to relax but to visit the city.

auto-translated: Staff is nice and helpful. The place is very narrow and gets very crowded in the evening, on foot you can visit the city (you should be separated).
Sanitary building is ok clean

auto-translated: We have chosen this place because of the proximity to Stavanger. Although on other places of our trip the number of visitors was limited here were already very many guests. The staff received us a bit stressed, which was probably due to the long queue at the reception. We were lucky and were placed between a pair of trees, yet the running and walking route around the lake went virtually through our "front yard". The sanitary facilities are clean, modern but simple. There is covered seating in the open at the cooking facilities and next door in the reception. Both do not really invite you to linger. On foot, however, one is in 30-45 minutes in the city. To use this option we would come here again, but for a cozy, quiet and individual camping day this place is not suitable.

auto-translated: It gets very crowded in the evening; therefore, do not arrive too late. The washing up facilities are scarce. There were problems with the electrics when it rained! Good access to the city; also on foot or by bike!

auto-translated: Sanitary facilities very clean then. There are very many birds such as seagulls and pigeons ducks and also a swan to feed. With us, the water in the showers was pleasantly warm and included in the price. I did not like so well that a public roads lead through the campsite. Nice is the small playground for small children. The campsite is located on a lake, unfortunately, is not suitable for swimming.

auto-translated: If you want to visit Stavanger, you are in good hands here - even if it is really crowded in the summer! Sanitary facilities and shared kitchen are spacious, modern and clean. The old town is about 30 min. away on foot, but there is also a bus stop right outside the door.
The campgrounds are idyllically located under trees - but directly on a highway, i.e. it is also quite noisy at night!
The staff is young, friendly and helpful. For the passage I would come again.

auto-translated: Great place if you want to visit Stanger, because of the bad weather we were in a cabin, which are indeed clean but old and dilapidated, is no longer maintained and gives a shabby impression, unlike the modern plumbing. The cabins are located on the outside opposite a tasteless camper street

auto-translated: Actually a nice place and clean facility. Unfortunately, in the shower no hot water and very cold. For the price you can expect hot water for showering.

auto-translated: Spacious site, in winter only pitch with electricity. No sanitary facilities, no water.

auto-translated: We (2P.) were there with car and roof tent and have paid 300NOK for one night (without electricity). Camped in the back of the campsite, which is located directly on the main road, which is associated with noise. We still had a good night.
The sanitary facilities were large and clean; showers are free. If it rains, you can sit under a roof. Good base to explore Stavanger.

auto-translated: Perfect place if you arrive by ferry in Stavanger or for transit to visit the city.
In summer very crowded, but also always a lot of arrivals and departures. To get a place should be in the wedding before 14

auto-translated: Despite being close to the city, it is a very nicely laid out square. It lies directly at a lake. You can reach the city on foot in about 30 minutes. The bus stop to the city is also nearby.

The camping site has a washing machine and drying room, so that you can hang up wet clothes. That saved us :-)

auto-translated: We were here one night for our visit to Stavanger. The place is situated at a super beautiful park with a lake. The campsite is opposite a swimming pool, which unfortunately had a party in the evening, so it was quite noisy. In the summer I think it would be great to have a pool right next to the campsite to cool down. Unfortunately, one hears the street, which is not very busy at night. The sanitary facilities are clean and the showers free of charge. But the water jet was very unpleasant during the shower.
In the late afternoon we walked into the city centre (about 20-30 minutes), in the evening we went back by bus. Here you can really rely on Google Maps!
For dinner we went to the 26 North Restaurant. The restaurant is a great recommendation! The price-performance is perfect and the food was fantastic.
We have to say Stavanger and this campsite is really a great recommendation!

auto-translated: Very crowded in August, who is looking for peace and loneliness is wrong here, a he is just the same in a city. The facility is well maintained, the sanitary facilities the best I have seen so far. The kitchen is equipped with stove incl. oven, even kettle available. We travelled with a bigger baby and most of all we liked the area at the reception in bad weather and the family showers (!!). On the spot they are all very friendly and helpful and very eager to find a place for the late arrivals.

auto-translated: Large square, near the town of Stavanger. Good connection to bus line. Be there early, otherwise it will be difficult to get a place (high season).

auto-translated: We only slept one night because of a booked fjord cruise through the Lysefjord. Otherwise we would have liked to have stayed there longer. Beautiful plumbing and friendly administrators reception. Beautifully situated on a lake, 20 minutes walk to downtown Stavanger. Bus stop also nearby if you are too far.

auto-translated: Large complex on a lake near to the center of Stavanger. You can walk or take a bus that goes to the center.
Sanitary facilities are large and clean, unfortunately hot water is only lukewarm. W-lan bad. For a night to the beautiful Stavanger to visit all right.

auto-translated: Sat 01.09.2018
We have been very happy to be here with WoMo in the past few years and have joyfully set off again this year. However, this year was such a rude and incompetent person at the reception that we were looking for a place outside of Stavanger.

auto-translated: Were in transit, but stayed 2 nights to look at Stavanger. The place is unfortunately due to the rain for caravans only partially suitable. Although it is nice laid out but the meadows pitches are all muddy and hardly to drive. The proximity to the city makes up for a lot of things. The center is easy to reach on foot or by bike.

auto-translated: Space for campers graveled and separated from the neighbors with a green area. Space was already quite crowded in the early afternoon. Late summer could stand in front of the barrier. Sanitary relatively new and well maintained.

auto-translated: This campsite is very suitable for campers. The vehicles stand on a kiessfläche and are separated with a piece of lawn from the neighbors.
Supermarket about 300m near as well as the old town in 2km. Everything is within walking distance.
This place is definitely recommended to come back.
The reception is very friendly and helpful.
Sanitary facilities clean and well maintained.
Lukewarm, free showers

auto-translated: Space was already very crowded on arrival at late noon. Due to the central location one is fast in the place.

auto-translated: Stayed for two nights and stayed in the front area of the square, opposite the reception. From the afternoon already very full. The place (sloping gravel place) seems to have been newly created, as well as the parking spaces in front of the barrier. Unfortunately, the newly installed turf did not survive the drought. The sanitary facilities are also new and clean.
As a starting point for the city sightseeing I would recommend the place. You can reach the city very well on foot. Bus stop is also nearby, a small supermarket also.

auto-translated: Reservation uncomplicated. Very fast and nice information. Reception friendly.

Community area currently under renovation, therefore good condition of communal kitchen and bathrooms. Overcooked kitchen during normal rush hours.

Close to supermarket and city center very good.

Cabins simple, but perfectly fine. Smaller and some huts. Smaller cabins at Caravanpark, simple room with dining area, hotplate and fridge. Large hut on the lake with veranda.

Campground looks good, but everywhere a bit sloping.

Caravanplatz is more like a large parking lot, all vehicles are close to each other.

It is a quite bug place, toilets are reall well structured, water very hot.
Kitchen is usable, but no kitchen stuff available. The person in the reception lent us some cutlery and plates though.
Cabins are pretty ok, have a refrigerator and heating inside.
Price not so cheap, but maybe for norway ok (450 NOK for a 2 bed cabin).

auto-translated: Danger. Completely new sanitary facilities have just been put into operation. Everything tip-top. Kitchen was not quite ready. But very nice staff and ideal if you want to go to Stavanger in the city

auto-translated: The place is really very central. We only stayed there for one night. The place for campers was just laid out and not yet completely finished. The ladies showers were closed they should be renovated. The other showers were unfortunately no longer the best and warm water scarce. Toilets and sink area were ok. After the renovation certainly a good central place.

auto-translated: The night with electricity in the motorhome costs 250 NOK for 2 persons. The place is a bit divided. At the top you stand on gravel and at the bottom on a meadow. The meadow turns into a mud hole when it rains. The sanitary facilities are already aging. The place lies at the lake and one can jog there e.g. a round. We drove from the place with the bicycles to Stavanger (approx. 15 minutes). Sewage and chemical toilet emptying are possible. The place is not really idyllic and you stand right next to each other. For one night it is ok.

auto-translated: beautifully situated place at the edge of a lake (good jogging distance), 10 min by bicycle into the city. Place is idyllic with nice places, sanitary facilities were okay (should be done until 2018 - what is necessary), supermarket 5 min walk with tasty rolls. Employees were very nice. Is to be recommended altogether

auto-translated: Place is so far ok. lies in the middle of the city at a lake.

auto-translated: We used the place to pass through. The place for WoMo and caravan is a steep gravel place. We parked there very close to each other. Red squares indicate the pitches. Very, very narrow. Outdated and dirty toilets and showers. Currently there is a big construction site next to the site. The young man at the reception was very nice. However one should not drive to the camping site if possible.

auto-translated: We were here for one night in July 2016 and it was wonderfully relaxed. Check in super easy, WiFi for free, showers and toilets very clean and also our cabin was exactly what we expected. Only a bit crowded, but of course in the middle of Stavanger and in July. In addition, the place is situated at the lake and a city walk and also the street is directly next to it. While we were there, a big part of the area was extended and modernized. Very recommendable!

auto-translated: We rented a cabin for two nights at Stavanger Camping Mosvangen in July 2015 and paid 650 crowns per night. Dishes and showers cost extra. The cabins are large, super clean and well equipped. It's the only place in Stavanger so there's plenty of exercise. The washhouse is old but always clean. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the harbour on foot. Shopping facilities can be reached on foot in 5 minutes. In the hut we did not perceive the streets noise particularly loudly. To visit Stavanger it was the right decision to rent a hut here.
