Lofoten by camper
Lofoten by camper: wild camp spots, hikes, campsites, cafés and activities on the islands from Austvågøy to Å. In summer Lofoten is small and busy -- use the campsites and rest stops where you can, and leave the wild spots as you found them. In winter many places close, but the E10 is open all year, and on clear nights the Northern Lights can show over the mountains.
