Øya Økocamp - Reviews

auto-translated: Beautiful place. Ideal for tents. Everything very spartan, but that was OK for me. The manager was very nice.
But the site could do with a bit more maintenance. There was quite a bit of junk in and around the outbuildings.
But it is still the kind of place one prefers on a trekking holiday.

auto-translated: Actually a great location in a small forest on a peninsula, but the road is very noisy and very busy. The ladies at the reception are nice, the sanitary staff top, but the kitchen and the laundry room are totally unclean and unkempt. For me, an ecocamp does not mean that it is left to run down, it is also allowed to take a broom or clean up the kitchen. Even the beautifully situated fireplaces in the forest are completely unkempt. Great place (except for the street noise), but you could make more of it.

auto-translated: Very much space between trees by the river. Covered outdoor kitchen and large covered seating area. Fire barrel and wood available from the friendly groundskeeper. Showers free, sanitary facilities sometimes a bit scarce.
The caretaker also gives good hiking recommendations.

Pretty standard cabins that lack a little bit of character. Owner is very nice and seems to work very hard at improving the camp site. We had a good stay.

auto-translated: Nice campsite. New sanitary. Operator courteous, nice in its own way. You can choose your own site. Showers free of charge.

auto-translated: Lots of space, nice and relaxed atmosphere. New sanitary facilities, hot water included in the price of the campsite. The owner is very nice, helpful (will lend you a map), knows the area and hiking trails very well. Outdoor kitchen and dining area - large and functional. There is a baton and stilts ;)

auto-translated: For the second time we visit the camp, we quickly decide to stay another night , even if it does not seem so at first glance , it is one of the best campsites if you want peace and beautiful nature that we have found so far .
We will come back in any case next year .
The sanitary buildings are new and very clean , the large outdoor kitchen invites in bad weather to chat . The operators are insanely helpful and have great tips on what can be done .
At the water are further Tippi built, as well as a sand bunker with inside fireplace, it is so beautiful there on the water.
We are thrilled with this place.

auto-translated: very relaxed and nice operator, super helpful, and gladly gives tips. Elk in the morning in the camp to see. if you want to find what negative, it would be the road that you hear. but does not really bother. you can also fish. grill hut with sleeping possibility directly on the river. Campsite partly still under reconstruction because last October flooded, but respect what has already been done! 220nok without electricity, showers free. Washing machine available! open kitchen for all.

auto-translated: Beautiful, natural camping ground. The operator is very keen to ensure a varied stay with hiking tips and knows the area extremely well! Sanitary new and very clean, cabins rustic and cosy. Only the road disturbs a little bit.

auto-translated: Natural place, directly at the river. Top sanitary facilities.
Operator very friendly and gives good tips to explore the great surroundings. You just hear the street. We will definitely go there again on our next visit.

auto-translated: Do not let the driveway deter you! The front property looks to run away and one thinks it belongs to the place. It does not!

We felt very comfortable for three nights!
Super nicely led place.
Top sanitary (new, clean, sufficient), cosy community hut.
You can splash around at the river. Idyllic landscape. (Down the river you pass a stone sauna (?), a little further on a small bay with a sandy beach.)

Otherwise there is a big trampoline, slackline and hammock.

You can still see the effects of the big flood in October2018. But the operator is busy.

auto-translated: We also spontaneously turned one night into three! The camp is great! The sanitary facilities with the free showers were well maintained and the open pavilion with kitchen is perfect to sit together with other guests. The owner is super friendly and talks a lot with the guests, gives tips and so on.
This is the best camp we have discovered on our trip so far, and it also has an incomparable price-performance ratio. We are thrilled. Keep up the good work! :)

auto-translated: We were very enthusiastic about this nature camping site - directly at the river, super sanitary facilities and many hiking possibilities in the surroundings! For children there is a big trampoline and the river and the forest to discover, our son (2.5 years) did not get bored. You can hear the moderately frequented road, but that didn't bother us. We will definitely come back !

auto-translated: Very nice owner
New sanitary facilities Showers included in the price
The proximity of the road can hardly be heard and is drowned out by the noise of the river.
Still under construction after the flood last year

auto-translated: I can only agree with the previous evaluations. Very nice place, nice operator, great location at the river. We felt very comfortable and stayed longer than planned. On the sandy beach you could spend the extremely hot day very well.

Beautiful campsite, great for tents and tenttrailers. Very nice and helpful owners. Sanitary new, clean, good showers. Great hiking possibilities also for families with children.

auto-translated: An idyllically situated, partly wooded and quiet campsite which is also suitable for caravans and motorhomes. It is situated by the river Otta on the island of Storøya. The new very helpful operators attach great importance to a sustainable ecological lifestyle.
We spent several days there and enjoyed the stay very much.

This is only his first season as the caming owner, but already off to a great start. The owner is very nice and could tell you a out the surrounding area.
The toilets+showers are enough and very new and clean. There is no extra charge to shower.
The site is nice and surrounded Bij a forest. It's quiet, but you can somewhat hear the road.
Not a bother in my opinion.
Great camping and would definitely come back!
Also to see how the camping has grown, as this was his first season.

we spent 3 nights at this camping; 2 persons a car and a tent. the price per night was 200 nok which we found very reasonable considering the amazing showers (free), kitchen and dine area and very welcoming and friendly owner. the camping was clean and tidy. there is a possibility to do your laundry. moreover, the area is lovely for fans of hiking, kayaking and rafting. best camping we visited during our road trip in norway!

Best of the four I've stayed at here in Norway. Kicking myself for missing the folk festival in late July. Clean site, great value and beaut spot!
