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.

Is it possible to rent bikes/skiing/winter equipment from you?

At the moment, we don’t have any skiing or other outdoor equipment for hire from the reception.

There is a rental office in town called Tromsø Outdoor where you can rent most types of winter and sports equipment. It is also possible to get the equipment brought to the camping, but this will cost an extra fee in addition to the rental fees of the equipment.

Should we book a northern lights tour?

The northern lights chasing tours cover a large area around Tromsø, much larger than you could reach by foot or with the city buses. This makes the chances of seeing the northern lights much higher, since you could reach areas with clear sky if it’s cloudy near Tromsø. The northern lights tours also have guides who know what to look for on the forecast to predict where you get the best chances of seeing the northern lights.

It is of course possible to reach the same area around Tromsø on your own if you have a car available during your stay, and many guests have had success with hunting for the aurora on their own. Please do note that the winter roads around Tromsø could be very slippery, and it could be dangerous to drive out if you’re not experienced with wintry driving conditions.
We could help you decide which areas to go to at the reception, but we do not have the same experience and knowledge about the area as the guides driving the norther lights tours have.

Do you have washing machines?

We do have a washing room with both washing machines and dryers. Please contact the reception for prices and availability of this.

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.
