Utvika Camping

auto-translated: Large site with many permanent campers. Many free places at the end of August, nevertheless some traffic, apparently many using it as a starting point for the ferries from Oslo.

Complicated pricing policy, there are 4 rates for pitch size and 3 for season. At the end of August it was still high season, with 430 NOK for the second smallest pitch size it was the most expensive pitch of the whole holiday (electricity and showers included). You won't find the price list on the internet or on the notice board, only in reception on the counter; and according to the notice board, it is only open for 1 hour in the evening from 7 o'clock.

Unexpected:
Even at this time of year, there were still mosquitoes, and the beach, playground and volleyball court were metres under water (see photo).

auto-translated: The site is fully utilised which means you are really very close together. You have to love that, or not be bothered by it. We were.

auto-translated: Beautiful site near Oslo (approx. 40 km). Very quiet despite the road next to it.
Of course it is crowded in summer, when Norwegians also have holidays, and the sanitary facilities are not very clean after being used by many people, but this is not the fault of the campsite operators but of the users. They are cleaned daily, and the showers are also nice and warm (we have experienced this differently at some other campsites in Norway).
With the caravan, although the site was fully booked, we had plenty of space to the neighbour, we were not standing close to each other.
A good starting point for trips to Oslo.
Children have fun on the fenced playground with air cushions and on the beach.
There is a self-service shop right at the campsite with everything you need, which is not that overpriced for being at a campsite (Norway is not that cheap anyway).

We liked it there.
