Utne Camping

auto-translated: We stayed here for one night as there were no other options. The site is very spacious, particularly in the off-season, and you’re free to choose your own pitch. There’s a large playground. The toilet and shower facilities looked new and modern. Showers cost 20 NOK for 10 minutes. You do the washing-up in the open air, but under a canopy. There are plenty of tables and benches available for use. There’s a water tap right next to the electricity point.
Now for the big ‘buts’: the site is right next to the E6, and unless you want to be close to the service block or, as we did, the playground, you’ll be put up with constant noise. Apart from that, the site’s location isn’t particularly appealing either. What’s more, it was absolutely filthy; there was rubbish lying about everywhere (old shoes, a cap, bits of balloons, and other rubbish, particularly along the edge by the E6). In the ladies’ toilet, two out of three toilets were soiled with faeces right up to the toilet seat.
For two people, you pay 390 NOK for a caravan or motorhome (which would be fine), but as we have a child with us (regardless of their age), the cost jumps straight to 460 NOK for the night plus a shower, which I no longer consider reasonable. After Lofoten, this was the most expensive site of our holiday – and for what?

auto-translated: We were passing through and stayed here for 1 night.
The site is right next to the motorway, and the traffic can be heard clearly, but it didn't bother us very much.
A large, partly sloping meadow, free choice of pitch.
The sanitary facilities were very clean, but a bit too few when fully occupied.

auto-translated: After being turned away from a crowded campsite in Fredrikstad and directed to several other sites, we came across this campsite. Although it had been described to us as ‘ugly’, no one could give us a reason why. Given the good reviews, we decided to head there anyway – and were pleasantly surprised.
The site is lovely, spacious and well-maintained. It’s situated right next to the E6, so you can hear the road, but that didn’t bother us personally. We’d recommend booking via the website, as we were advised to do so when we rang and received a discount as a result. We paid 390 NOK for 2 adults, a dog, electricity and a free choice of pitch.
The facilities left nothing to be desired. The washing machine and tumble dryer can be used between 08:00 and 16:00 via reception (60 NOK per wash or dry cycle). The machines were very good; there are even ironing facilities available. Showers cost 20 NOK for 10 minutes and are paid for by credit card. There are three toilets and three showers right next to the pitch. The sanitary facilities were clean and modern overall.
The pitches are situated on a lawn. In our view, wheel chocks are often needed. The lawn was well maintained; the only slight nuisance was the grass clippings left lying around.
The campsite was pleasantly uncrowded. We spontaneously extended our stay by one night and had plenty of space for Viking chess and ball games. The operators were very friendly and helpful. There is also a small kiosk selling ice cream and other bits and bobs at fair prices.
Particularly worth highlighting are the waste disposal facilities and the water supply directly at the pitch. We found it less than ideal that there is hardly any shade and that walking the dog is practically only possible along the road. The nearest supermarket is about 5 km away, and a petrol station about 2 km.
All in all, a very good campsite that we would visit again at any time.
