Topcamp Sjøsanden Feriepark

auto-translated: Large campsite, nicely by the beach and close to the village. Partly renovated. We had booked a tent pitch, but this pitch was completely unsuitable for a tent. Reported this at reception and got a pitch next to the service building. This pitch also turned out to be unsuitable, because many people take the shortest route and simply walked between our two tents and over the guy ropes (walking around would have taken 10 seconds). After one night there and because it was raining, rebooked the second night to a cabin. Great solution! Really recommended, an apartment!

auto-translated: Very well-located site, close to the town and beach.
Very full, a lot of hustle and bustle, restless and loud.
Sanitary facilities are good, but too few for the size of the site; every now and then you have to wait a little until something becomes free.
Wanted to go and eat something in the on-site restaurant; at 4 p.m. there were only a few hamburgers left, everything else was sold out.
Well, and then the price…
One person, with a 6 m motorhome, with electricity and access to the shower: 860 NOK for one night.

auto-translated: Given the size and number of pitches, we’d expected a noisy and cramped site. That wasn’t the case at all. The individual pitches are mostly laid out so that everyone has a fairly large garden area and there’s no direct line of sight to the neighbours. Tip: if it’s busier than it was when we were there, book a pitch in the front row. That way, you get a lovely view of a small patch of woodland. However, the site is also one of the most expensive we’ve stayed at – 860 NOK for one night with electricity… The toilet and shower facilities are clean. The town of Mandal is a 10-minute walk away. Otherwise, the site has everything you need. We’d come back, but only in the off-season.
