It is the exact one I use when I am on the road and I swear by it! While in Southern Norway, the sun does set but it is not until late at night and soon after it rises again. I realized quickly that if I was going to get any sleep, I would need a sleep mask and a good one at that.
While they are not perfect, they really do help, especially if you are planning to camp in Northern Norway, where the sun rarely sets in summer and the lack of darkness can be somewhat disorientating. Restaurants in Norway are expensive and one of the best ways to save money is by cooking. I bring a small gas stove with me where I can heat up small dishes and grill up some fish if I am lucky enough to catch one.
If you are traveling around by car, you have the opportunity to bring along a heavier and more sophisticated grill. For those wanting to cook over an open fire, it is possible on beaches to have a small fire, as well as places that there is no chance it could cause a wildfire. If there is a spell of dry weather and drought is declared throughout Norway, all kinds of fire will be banned, including gas stoves.
Norwegians love open-faced sandwiches. Head to any cafe or bakery and you will see a fantastic array of sandwiches ready to buy and eat straight away. I like to take this idea with me when I camp as they are easy to make and the toppings hold well while transporting, especially if you have a little bag with you. One of the reasons I love Norwegian sandwiches is that the bread in Norway is some of the best in Europe, even if some countries may disagree with me.
I tend to simply use delicious Norwegian brown cheese and jam to top sandwiches, or I purchase a yellow cheese with cucumber and mayo for another alternative. One of my favorite activities in Norway, even when not camping, is foraging for wild berries. There are plenty of delicious berries that grow naturally in the wild and they are free to pick and consume!
Take some Tupperware with you so that you can store the berries you see and pick along the way. In the north, you can also find cloudberries. These delectable berries are a sought after ingredient and in some cases, the picking of them is reserved to farmers only as they are a valuable source of income. There are also plenty of wild mushrooms growing around the country that can be picked. However, you should be sure you know what you are picking as there are some poisonous varieties out there.
I will be honest, I can only stand camping for a while before I need some more comfort in my life. There are over 1, campsites in Norway, each with their own star rating based on their amenities.
These provide a perfect place to rest up enjoy some additional comforts and grab a warm shower. Some of the higher rated campsites will have on-site restaurants and cabins where you can grab a comfortable nights sleep in an actual bed. We actually planned on camping one night at Nordkapp but ended up just getting a hostel instead! I never leave home without at least one power bank in my bag. While camping, I tend to tote my whole collection with me, which consists of about 4 power banks that each can fully charge a phone about 5 times.
Though they are heavy, they reduce your need to find power sources to charge your phone. Keeping your phone charged is very important as if you are out in the wild you may not see other people for a few days and your phone will be your lifeline if you get into trouble.
Power banks are also great for charging other products and I have a USB charging device for my camera batteries so that I can keep all running while I am in the wilderness. Even though the temperatures are not scorchingly hot, you should not be deceived by the power of the sun in Norway.
If you are spending the majority of your trip by bodies of water, you can find that the power of the sun is double as it reflects back on you from the water. In addition, during Norwegian summers, the sun is closer to the Earth than in other places around the globe and it is easy to fry your skin without even noticing because the cooler temperatures will deceive you a bit!
I am personally not someone who burns easily, but I am fully aware of the discomfort it can cause and how that discomfort will be amplified while trying to sleep on a hard floor. Here is my recommended vegan and reef-friendly sunscreen from Sunbum that I suggest toting to Norway with you. While I highly recommend bringing some water with you, Norway has some of the best natural water sources in the world.
There are plenty of streams running off of the mountains, constantly being topped up by fresh clean meltwater. The water in fast-moving streams is perfectly fine to drink.
Bring along a couple of reusable water jugs to stock up on water as you work your way through the countryside. Utilizing these water sources can be a lifesaver if you are planning to spend a prolonged time away from civilization as you will not have to lug too much water with you from the start. Click here to shop for the exact Klean Kanteen water jug I travel to Norway with!
I always bring a pack of wet wipes with me when camping because showering and cleaning yourself is not an easy task while out in the wilderness. Alternatively, you can swim in lakes and open bodies of water to clean off, although you must make sure they are not used for drinking water as it is illegal to swim in these bodies of water.
The parking of cars, motorcycles and caravans is not anchored, but is tolerated as far as possible, especially with the motorhome, as long as you follow the rules. It is permitted to stay overnight anywhere where signs do not explicitly indicate a ban.
You can now find them, for example, at some rest areas or in the vicinity of localities. You can even camp on private land, as long as you keep a minimum distance of m to the next inhabited house. However, if you want to stay more than two days in one place, you should ask the owner for permission beforehand, this also applies to parking motorized objects.
Very important, but hopefully self-evident: leave the pitch as you discovered it yourself with your camper heart! This means that no rubbish or anything else should be left behind in the wild. If you find any, dispose of it professionally at best. For the emptying of toilets, you should use the emptying points advertised, as everything else is forbidden.
Since there are a lot of people coming to wild camping, especially in summer, it should be mentioned here that in the hot season open fires near forest areas are forbidden — areas which are safe from forest fires, such as the fjord or the sea, are excluded from this and you can barbecue and sit at the campfire. While wild camping in Norway you are allowed to feed on what you find in nature flowers, mushrooms and berries if you are familiar with it.
An exception to this is the rare cloudberry, which grows in northern Norway and is under strict conservation. If you can fish, you may do so without a fishing licence for sea fish, but only for your own needs.
Wild camping in Norway is an exciting experience throughout the country. If you prefer the sea and flatter landscapes, then the south is just right for you. Do you love mountains, snow and waterfalls? Then Central Norway, also known as Fjord Norway, will inspire you! Or are you more interested in the Scandinavian Caribbean? Lofoten, close to the Arctic Circle, with its white sandy beaches, is also a great place for hiking and road trips.
By the way: In summer, a trip from the south to the North Cape is also possible for campers! As you can see, wild camping in the far north is still possible and quite simple, if you stick to the rules. There are also many cheap and beautiful campsites in Viking Land — so consider carefully whether you have enough adventure in you. However, there still is, the freedom… and it waits for you!
