Sæbø Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: Very large site in beautiful surroundings.
Sanitary facilities old, but clean.
The young man at the reception is a bit curt, speaks German.
Nice playground.
The site is equipped with plenty of electrical connections of the latest design, fused at 16A.
Poor WiFi, range only just to the middle of the pitches on the shore.
Few permanent campers at the edge of the site.
3 newer cabins, make a good impression, the rest of the many cabins are outdated.
Directly by the lake, the pitches are reserved for tents.
Now in September, little occupied, mostly with overnight guests.
Ideal for a visit to Vøringsfossen, only a few kilometers away (definitely plan it in, free of charge, sufficient parking available).
If the sanitary facilities were modernized a bit, one could also consider a longer stay.

auto-translated: Beautifully located by the water, framed by gigantic mountains.
+ Water access (e.g. for canoes etc.)
+ Large areas
+ Great surroundings
+ Trampoline
+ hardly any road noise
+ very friendly staff and tasty bread rolls
- Showers cost money and are not even really clean for that
- very small kitchen area for the size

auto-translated: A lovely campsite, nice and spacious. A warm welcome – you can choose your own pitch. There’s a trampoline and, if you
can stand the cold, you can go for a swim.
Less than 20 minutes from Voringfoss.
It’s a shame, though, that there really aren’t enough showers and, above all, not enough toilets. You often have to queue for the toilet.

Large tent area by the lake. Grass was soaking wet, but the view paid off. At first we were overcharged almost double by the new receptionist. But after talking to the owner, we were refunded and ended up paying 330 NOK for a family of 4 + car + tent, shower 10 kr extra, they also offer fresh bread in the morning for 20 kr, which was a nice and unique touch. Washing 30 kr, drying 40 kr.

It's ok Camping. Nice surroundings. But in shower was cold, and not so clean. Will come back if no other choice.

auto-translated: Spacious grounds on Eidfjordvatnet. Beautiful view over the lake. Friendly welcome. Nice staff. Unfortunately, swimming in the lake is not easy, as there is only a rocky “beach.” The somewhat cramped sanitary facilities are kept very clean.

auto-translated: The campsite is beautifully located on the fjord. You can pitch your tent right by the water, which is just great. We also used the site as a starting point for a hike in Hardangervidda. Behind the site, the terrain rises steeply! The sanitary facilities are clean, although a little sparse for such a large site. We found the covered table areas with lots of power sockets very practical!

auto-translated: Beautifully situated by the lake and a good starting point for the Hardangervidda. The kitchen, washrooms and sanitary facilities could do with an update, but you can manage. There is a nice playground for children.

auto-translated: The place itself was good. What was annoying were the many flies in the sanitary facilities. The location is right on the water. Playground for children. Very friendly.

My family spent a couple of nights camping with the beautiful view - there is a grassy 'tents only' bit right on the shore. Howard who runs the site is friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

auto-translated: Good location

auto-translated: A particularly beautiful, spacious campsite by the lake. Many different areas on large meadows. Few permanent campers in the rear area. Campers are in the front row! Simple but always clean sanitary facilities. Although it was busy in July, there was hardly any congestion in front of the toilets. There is a small kitchen for campers. Relatively inexpensive, family-friendly.

auto-translated: We were here on 22.07.2023 with our caravan on this very spacious site. The view is "high" in every direction and there are nice excursion destinations in the surrounding area. The sanitary facilities are in a normal good condition and the supply works. I will gladly come again.

auto-translated: We were here (with car and tent) for the fourth time.
why! -because of the great location.
A place for tents is highly recommended a little off the river. Quiet and very nice, although there is weak internet.
So we so nice.
However, the toilets for the large site are scarce and in very poor condition. Actually in none of the 4 men's WC cabins was the flush OK, sometimes it didn't work at all.(!)
Kitchen, washing up is acceptable at best, hot water is a matter of luck, queuing to wash up is the rule.
Showers are scarce and not a luxury either, but just acceptable.
In short, the furnishings are generally old and not in the best condition.
But if you are not so demanding in this respect, you will be compensated here because of the really great location by the lake/fjord/river, especially as the prices (tent) are OK.

auto-translated: The campsite itself was OK. Quietly located on the fjord and not crowded.
The sanitary facilities were getting on in years. They definitely needed an overhaul.
In the men's, the faucets were partially defective.
For one night and if you have no great demands, the campsite is sufficient.
We paid for one night including 2 people and electricity and 3 times 10 crowns for the showers a total of 335 NOK.

auto-translated: we were here in early September 2 nights with the camper. sanitary facilities okay. largely clean. free choice of site. scenic but on foot or by bike little activity possible.

auto-translated: We were here for 2 nights. The place is beautifully located on the lake. You can paddle or swim or just enjoy the view. Hiking and the Vøringsfossen are not very far away.
The sanitary facilities are simple, but okay. At peak times you have to wait sometimes.

auto-translated: Very nice location on the lake. Spacious pitches on a meadow. Sanitary facilities and showers could use some maintenance and are a few too few. Queuing at toilets, showers and washing up area. Also the power supply is not optimal. Somehow there were too few connections. With extension and adapter plug it worked then. Nevertheless it was very nice. We would come again.

auto-translated: Beautiful, quiet location. Nice playground. Only the sanitary facilities were not so clean and outdated.

auto-translated: Simple campsite in a beautiful location. We were here to visit the spectacular waterfalls at Vøringfossen. Showering for 10 nok for 4 minutes. Toilets reasonably clean. Bread service in the morning. A campsite with little social interaction. Well by the water but no beach to go into the water conveniently.

auto-translated: Very large area, fortunately not so crowded. There are only 4 toilets per gender, longer queues form during peak hours. Showers and wash cabins are sufficient. The location of the site is fantastic in a valley basin between high mountain walls directly on the lake. Large children's playground.

auto-translated: Huge facility, beautifully located in the valley, all in all in good condition.
We were traveling with a car and tent and slept directly at the edge of the facility on the right side against a stone wall. Behind the stone wall was the river. We were thrilled.
WC were separated by gender, plenty of them.
Showers and sinks unisex, single stalls, water pressure etc fine.
You can get fresh bread in the morning if you ordered the day before.

auto-translated: There is not enough plumbing for the amount of guests. It would be nice if the campers were separated from the tents. There is enough place, not always with electricity

auto-translated: Nice campsite, camping directly on the lake. In the second row and behind it on huge meadows happy place choice to set up.
Long ways to the power distributor I can confirm but is not uncommon in Norway.
Bread roll service is available. Buns were huge.
The sanitary facilities (at least toilets) were uncomfortable and also somewhat dirty, just acceptable, but well below average in Norway.

auto-translated: Spacious place in a beautiful location. Located directly on the river, so you can swim, fish, paddle. Sanitary facilities good, but 20NOK for showers too expensive. Wi-Fi free but only near the reception. Nice playground for children.

auto-translated: Very nicely located campsite. Nice staff and large areas to put. But urgently have a 50 meter extension with it because the paths to the power distributors are sometimes very far.

auto-translated: Stiff, unfriendly reception: the little man clearly did not work with pleasure. Full campsite, noisy, sanitary facilities not clean even AFTER cleaning. Cheapest campsite that we found the last 3 weeks.

auto-translated: Excellent facility. Very large area for tent sites on different levels, some directly on the lake. Also good pitches for motorhomes. Great service, very good and clean sanitary facilities with sufficient capacity.
Also suitable for families, great little playground.

auto-translated: I spent one night alone in a cabin on a motorcycle trip and came back the next day with a friend to camp. We stood on a remote meadow directly at the river. In the adjacent woods we collected wood and then grilled with one of the ball grills from the site and sat around the campfire until late at night. A very close to nature camping on a very scenic spot with very friendly staff at the reception. In addition with 150 NOK for 1 tent with motorcycle cheap.

auto-translated: Fantastic view and very quiet place with waterfall rushing in the background. Highly recommended!

auto-translated: Beautiful location on the lake. Street (7) in hearing distance u, during the day there is already a lot going on. Reception friendly and helpful. Bread roll service. Sanitary facilities older, functional, draughty and not very clean. For 1 overnight stay it was ok.

auto-translated: Impressive location directly on the lake. Otherwise we did not like the place. Sanitary facilities quite old, draughty and unfortunately not very clean and well maintained. Shower 10 NOK (4 minutes).

auto-translated: Camping ground with Mega Fjord Panorama. The owner is friendly and also very helpful with questions. The shower cabins and washrooms were completely in order, only what was not so nice, the toilets were unfortunately not very clean.

auto-translated: Outside the season (beginning of September) quiet place, not full. 2 pers. with WoMo, pitch gravelled with view on fjord. Not only the sanitary facilities, everything very clean.
And a great panorama!

auto-translated: Very nice campsite for campers, caravans and tents with great views! All around mountain walls and swimming possibility in the lake. Costs for motorhome for 2 persons and electricity total 270 NOK (W-LAN included). Boats can be rented, bread rolls can be ordered. The toilets and showers are very clean. Laundry can be washed (NOK 30) and dry (NOK 30). A really nice, quiet place - recommendable!

auto-translated: simple, but an outstanding view!

auto-translated: After an exhausting day, get a place directly and pitch our tent there. In the morning when we get up we have an indescribable view.

auto-translated: The tent meadow is nice and big, so you still have your own area, even if there are several tents there. It is an ingenious starting point for bicycle tours and hikes. The Natursenter, which can be reached on foot, is also very recommendable.

The camping place is uneven. Only tents are permitted near the lake. It is not easy to find a good/even place for a tent. But you have enough space. Facilities to do the dishes where a bit short. Beautifull surroundings and a lot to see and visit.

auto-translated: Beautiful place directly at the lake and the river. Only meadows, 2 areas only for tents. At the reception you will be asked if you want to order bread rolls. Payment is made on departure. Sanitary facilities are very good, warm showers cost extra. Bus connection to Vøringfossen, nearby nature centre with delicious Norwegian restaurant.

This is the biggest camping we stayed on (100 spots for tents and mobilehomes). Luckely we found a spot in a quiet corner because it was very crowded. Long waiting lines at the showers and toilet in the morning and evening. A nice check in and an OK camping.

auto-translated: Super location at a lake, a lot of green meadow with high mountain walls around it. Sanitary clean and well maintained. Very friendly reception. Bread roll service. Unfortunately no shops nearby.

auto-translated: Very nice place, surroundings and sanitary facilities clean and sufficient.
Hiking and family suitable.
Fishing recommended from 15 July, as trout are closed until then and salmon may not be caught all year round. During this time you are allowed to catch char, but the risk is too great the trout bite and the char are max 20cm high. Fishing permits available at the site, but as I said, it doesn't make sense until 15 July.
Nice operators - great buns. Gladly again.

auto-translated: Nice area with a very nice view. Nice operator. Great playground. Rowboats and canoes can be borrowed. Sanitary facilities are in order.

auto-translated: friendly welcome, bread service is also available.

We were there at 18 o'clock, unfortunately it was already quite full.

nevertheless there are enough places, for tents even almost directly at the water.

The sanitary facilities are not quite the newest, but functional and clean.

We would come again.

The camping area was situated in an extremely beautiful area. We put up our tent ( cost 260 nok/night) in front of the fjord and got to enjoy the amazing view the whole time. Sanitary facilities were clean and pleasant. The only downside was that you could only use a 10 nok coin so make sure you have those when you go take a shower. (Speaking from experience...) i think the receptionist was a vit overworked, since he was almost never at the reception. But whenever he was available he was very nice. All in all we would absolutely recommend this area for camping because of the breathtaking scenery sorrounding it.

auto-translated: The place has a very nice location with great things to do. In the morning you can order fresh bread. The toilets were an impertinence, totally dirty and too few for the large space, accordingly it looked.
Showers were ok.

auto-translated: The area is well located and very nice. The sanitary facilities are good, but clearly too few for the number of campers. Therefore, it is very busy, even if the place itself is extensive.

auto-translated: The place is very nice and is also generous. We stayed in a cabin. For the size of the place including motorhomes, tents and huts are far too few sanitary facilities available. These are usually occupied and, of course, difficult to keep clean due to frequent use. The cabin was fine, has certainly seen better times and an outside cleaning would have been appropriate. The staff was nice and helpful.

The only thing I liked about the camping was the location. It was extremly crowded and the sanitary facilities were not nearly enough for all the people there, hence very dirty also. I would not go back to this site.

auto-translated: Super campsite in a unique environment. Friendly staff, many highlight in the area.
Many children, small playground with trampoline, so highly recommended for families.

auto-translated: Larger space, fantastic view of the fjord with access to the water. You can order sandwiches, which you can pick up from 8:30 clock. Owner speaks good German. It was relatively crowded, tents and mobile homes are each on separate meadows, tent meadow is right on the water. Sanitary facilities are i.O.

auto-translated: Camping beautifully situated. Owner very nice - speaks good German. All facilities available - sanitary facilities older, but clean. We spent one night here and felt very comfortable.

auto-translated: Medium sized place in fantastic surroundings. Sanitary "concept" (showers and washrooms unisex - of course with lockable doors) takes some getting used to. Also missing tray options in the showers, but it was all clean and that is probably the most important thing.

auto-translated: Very nicely located place right on a fjord, with boat mooring, sanitary facilities were in order and in sufficient quantity available, fishing license for 50 NOK, depending on the catch is still something to it, very friendly operator, paddling possible

auto-translated: Nice place. Friendly landlord who also speaks German. Large sanitary facilities with extra sink and kitchen. 230 nok for a car with two people. 30 nok for electricity.

Very nice surrounding, at the fjord and surrounded by mountains. Separate fields for small cars and tents and for bigger mobile homes and caravans, which we found very nice. The road nearby goes into a tunnel and therefor it's not bothering at all. Sanitary ok, but not always clean. We saw a lot of families with children at this camping compared to other campings. Relaxed atmosphere. Reception open whole day.

auto-translated: beautiful surroundings. situated directly at the lake. For 4 persons with tent 260 crowns paid. WiFi free, showers extra. Fresh rolls available. Very nice place! 100 % recommended. Price list is to be found with the photos. We (family with 2 children) would come again.

auto-translated: Very nice place with German speaking staff. There are many beautiful hiking trails and a great view. The ladies toilets were new and clean. The men's toilets were not clean. The urinal was missing. The shower was ok only if the neighbour also takes hot water it gets cold under his own. The washrooms are old but clean.

auto-translated: We spent two nights here. One in a hut (470 crowns, only a very small one gives all others from 500 crowns) and one in a tent (2 persons, 230 crowns), shower 10 crowns.
Sanitary facilities a little bit, could lead to snakes when it is full, with us everything fit well although the place was well visited. Cleanliness was fine. Reception friendly and German speaking. Magnificent surroundings! Arriving early is always a good idea, especially the cabins were always occupied and reserved in advance! With tent or womo but no problem. WLAN included, but not the best ;)

auto-translated: Nice operators, roll service and canoe rental. Unfortunately they lost my Campingcard, which was kept as a deposit. Instead they stayed one night for free.

auto-translated: Nice place, greate service

auto-translated: Completely overcrowded place, if the guests were not so reluctant to compare with the Adriatic coast. But the staff is extremely friendly! But too few washing, showering and rinsing places. With three washing places and one cooking opportunity one can prepare oneself for snakes. The huts for 490nkr clean and big, therefore PL just OK, just if you are travelling with 4 people. But I'd rather try to get something on one of the smaller places around, which we unfortunately didn't manage.

auto-translated: very clean and very nice place. reasonable standard price 150kronen for a tent. Hammer surroundings.

auto-translated: Optically very beautiful place directly at the lake, surrounded by high mountains. Camping meadows very large, number of toilets, washrooms, showers and washrooms at high occupancy very small!
Fishing possibilities for salmon and trout from the land (fishing permit required).
Boat rental on site.
Cabins clean and spacious. No cutlery and plate only a hotplate.
Excursions to the Hardangervidda, to the waterfall or to the Eidfjord easy to reach.

auto-translated: Fantastic location at the end of the fjord, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, intoxicated by a nearby waterfall. The German speaking operators ensure cleanliness in the very neat sanitary facilities and a very friendly atmosphere. From many pitches of the unparcelled terrain you have a wonderful view of the lake. There is a worthwhile cycle path along the old road to Eidfjord, where with a little luck you can witness the mooring manoeuvre of a cruise ship. In addition, there are good hiking possibilities up to Vöringsfossen or on top of Hardangervidda. Here, it is possible to have a very good holiday.
