What does camping in Norway cost?
We looked at the published 2026 prices of campsites across Norway – from Lofoten, Troms and Senja to the fjords, central Norway and the south coast – for a campervan or motorhome with two people. In short: plan on about 450 NOK a night, and 500 to 550 NOK in Lofoten, around Tromsø and near the big fjord sights.
Campsite prices per night in 2026
| Kind of place | Per night |
|---|---|
| Simple motorhome park (bobilplass) | 150–300 NOK |
| Budget campsite | 250–350 NOK |
| Standard campsite | 350–450 NOK |
| Popular destination | 450–550 NOK |
| Premium campsite or pitch | 550–700+ NOK |
These are market segments from the prices we found, not an official average. Visit Norway gives an average of about 330 NOK for campers and motorhomes; most established campsites in 2026 ask more once electricity and a second person are counted.
What we would budget
- 400 NOK – on a tight budget, choosing simpler campsites
- 450 NOK – a typical campsite night
- 550 NOK – popular destinations, with electricity
- 650 NOK – premium campsites or premium pitches
Prices by region
Lofoten
One of the more expensive regions: high demand and few places to stay overnight. Pitches for a motorhome are mostly 400 to 500 NOK, electricity 40 to 50 NOK on top, and some sites charge for showers or an extra person. Budget 450 to 550 NOK a night.
Tromsø, Senja and Lyngen
Northern Norway is not expensive everywhere. In Tromsø itself expect around 550 NOK, while campsites on Senja, in Lyngen and further from the city advertise 275 to 450 NOK, often with electricity included. Seven nights at 550 NOK cost 1,400 NOK more than seven at 350 NOK – but the cheaper sites mean more driving.
Fjord Norway
The widest range in the country. Near the famous hikes and in the fjord villages a night with electricity is often 450 to 550 NOK in high season, and premium pitches cost up to 700 NOK. Away from the big sights, 380 to 450 NOK is common.
Central and southern Norway
Most campsites in Trøndelag, Innlandet, Telemark, Vestfold and Agder ask 340 to 500 NOK, with electricity 50 to 80 NOK extra.
What comes on top
Campsites in Norway price very differently. One asks 350 NOK with electricity, showers and two people included; another asks 300 NOK and charges for each of them. Compare the total for your camper, two adults and electricity, not the pitch price.
- Electricity – included or 40 to 125 NOK a night; 60 to 80 NOK is typical. On a two-week trip that can add about 1,000 NOK.
- Extra people – some campsites charge around 50 NOK per adult; children are often cheaper.
- Showers – free at many campsites, coin-operated at others (around 10 NOK for a few minutes).
- High season – from about mid-June to mid-August many campsites charge 17 to 29 % more for the pitch.
- Booking online – a few campsites add a small booking fee; others take no bookings at all and work on a first come, first served basis.
- Usually included – fresh water, emptying the toilet and grey water, and often Wi-Fi. Laundry is extra almost everywhere.

How to pay less
- Travel in May, early June or September: lower prices, fewer people.
- Stay a little outside the hotspots – a campsite a little further from Tromsø or the busiest Lofoten beaches can be up to 200 NOK cheaper a night.
- Use a simple motorhome park (bobilplass) when you only need to sleep, and a full campsite every few days for showers, power and laundry.
- Compare the total for two people with electricity, not the pitch price alone.
How we did it: we collected the published 2026 price lists of campsites across Norway and directory prices where no price list was published (treated as "from" prices). It is a benchmark for planning, not a statistical average. Prices change – check with the campsite before you go.
