Wild camping

Bondhusdalen Parking

Welcome to the serene and captivating Bondhusvatnet glacier lake, a popular destination and one of the most beloved hikes in the beautiful Hardanger region. This parking lot offers a great spot to safely park your camper-van and spend the night, while enjoying outdoor adventures during the day. Additionally, you are just 30 minutes away from the city of Odda and its famous Trolltunga – a unique stone formation above the fjord, surrounded by picturesque nature.

Plan your camping trip

Choose your overnight stop

Choose a campsite for a longer stay with shared facilities. A motorhome area can suit a short stop in a self-contained vehicle, but showers and toilets are not guaranteed. For a nature stop, check permission, access and your water and waste capacity before you arrive. Compare current site information and recent reviews; a map listing alone does not confirm availability or permission.

Camping and overnight rules

Norway’s right to roam does not give permission to drive off-road. Follow parking and overnight signs and use designated campsites or motorhome pitches where possible. Keep passing places clear, respect private land and use proper waste disposal points.

When to go and what to check

Check mountain road openings and ferry timetables before fixing your daily distance. For colder-season travel, confirm that your vehicle and driving skills suit the conditions. Even in summer, carry layers and check the forecast before choosing an exposed overnight stop.

Camping questions

Do I need to book these spots?

Booking depends on the operator. Check each place’s current opening dates, arrival times and booking conditions. These are selected places to explore, not a live list of available pitches. Contact the operator before travelling if you need a confirmed place.

Are water, toilets and electricity included?

Facilities vary by place and may cost extra or close seasonally. Check the place details and the operator’s information for water, electricity, toilets and waste disposal. Carry enough supplies to reach an alternative if a service is unavailable.
