Frequently asked questions

Here you get quick access to answers to the most common questions we receive. This applies to everything from facilities and services to local attractions.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, you are always welcome to contact us directly.

Do we have to pay for cleaning and bed linen?

Bed linen, towels, and the end of stay cleaning are all included in the price for all of our cabins.

Please note that for the sake of the environment, we will not clean your cabin on a daily basis if this is included in the price. Please contact the reception if you want daily cleaning of your cabin.

If you prefer, you can of course bring your own bed sheets. Sleeping bags are also fine.

Is there a bus going to the camping?

City bus
The closest bus stop from us is called Båthavna, and is located about 10 minutes by foot away from the camping. The bus lines 20 and 24 pass this stop approx. every 15-30 minutes depending on the time of day, and takes about five minutes to reach the city centrum.

To get from the city to us, take bus 20 or 24 from the stop “Havnegata H1” to Båthavna, and walk up the valley along the river until you reach us.

All info on buses and public transport in the area could be found on tromskortet.no .

Do you have places for caravans and/or motorhomes?

In July of 2015, we opened a brand new site for caravans and motorhomes as a great improvement from our previous camp site.
We have 54 places, each with a leveled asphalt place for the caravan/motorhome, electricity close to the place and a pitch of artificial grass right outside the door of your vehicle. The area has coverage of free Wi-Fi, and brand new service buildings with showers, toilets, kitchen and sauna nearby.

Please note that we use CEE 17-sockets, and not Schuko. If you only have a Schuko-plug available, it is possible to buy or borrow an adapter from the reception.

During the summer season, there is very high demand on our camp site, and we often run out of places some time during the day. If you know which date you will be in Tromsø and want to rent a place, we highly recommend that you contact us beforehand to make sure you get a place. If you want to book for the same day, you could give us a call, and we’ll reserve a place for you.

Where is the nearest grocery store?

If you want to go by foot, the nearest grocery store is Eurospar Tromsdalen located up the hill behind The Arctic Cathedral. To get there, it’s a 15-20min walk from the camping.

If you want to go by car, it’s easiest to drive to Eurospar Tomasjord To get there, drive down to the main road (E8) from the camping, take to the right and continue through two roundabouts. You should then see the Eurospar on the left hand side of the road. This drive is approx. five minutes.
