Always up to date
A printed guide is out of date the day it is printed. Ours is fed by the people and services that know first, so what you see is what is true today:
Ferry departures, live
Every car-ferry quay in Norway shows its next departures for 24 hours, with delays and cancellations, straight from Entur, the national public transport register.
Campsites update their own listing
Campsite owners keep their season, facilities, description, photos and contact details current on their page themselves. 52 campsites have done so already, the latest on November 11, 2026.
Seasonal opening
Seasonal campsites show when they open and close, and are marked "Closed for the season" outside it – so you do not drive to a closed gate in October.
Opening hours
Opening hours of grocery stores, refreshed every day, and of Vinmonopolet with its holiday hours, every week – with "open now" worked out for the moment you look.
Roads and road cameras
Closures, convoy driving, mountain passes closed for the winter and live road-camera pictures from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, every 10 minutes.
Weather and Northern Lights
The weather from MET Norway and the chance of Northern Lights tonight for every place, worked out from the aurora forecast, the solar wind and the clouds.
Fuel, charging and service
Petrol stations with diesel and AdBlue, EV chargers with their live status, gas bottles, dump stations, toilets and showers – what a camper trip needs every day.
For every traveller, free
We built the guide for our own guests and opened it to everyone. You do not need to rent from us, and you do not need an account: whether you drive your own motorhome, tow a caravan, rent from someone else, cycle or carry a tent, the guide is yours. On a phone you can install it as an app and save places for the road.
The guide is made by our team in Tromsø and Oslo, who travel these roads all year: where to park for the night, which road closes in winter, where the Northern Lights are best. Every place has its directions, the weather and the nearest shop, fuel and ferry.

Questions about the guide
Is the camping guide free?
Yes. The guide, the map and every page are free and need no account. We are a camper rental company in Tromsø and Oslo; the guide is our way of helping everyone who travels Norway.
Do I need to rent a camper from Arctic Campers to use it?
No. The guide is for everyone – in your own motorhome, a caravan, a rental from anyone, by car, bike or with a tent.
How up to date is the information?
Ferry departures are live from Entur. Road reports and road cameras come from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration every 10 minutes, the Northern Lights chances every 15 minutes, grocery store hours every day and Vinmonopolet hours every week. Campsites change their own season, facilities, description and photos whenever they like, and the campsite map is refreshed from OpenStreetMap every month.
Where does the information come from?
Our own team, who drive these roads all year, the campsites themselves, and open data: Entur (ferries), the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (roads and cameras), MET Norway (weather), NOAA (solar wind), OpenStreetMap (campsites, fuel, toilets) and Vinmonopolet.
I run a campsite. How do I update our listing?
Write to guide@arcticcampers.no with your campsite's name: we send you a link to your own page, where you set your season, facilities, description, photos and contact details. It is free.
Does the guide work offline?
On a phone you can add the guide to your home screen as an app and save places; saved places open without a connection. The map itself needs a connection.
