The fjords, mountains, valleys and mountain plateaus, towns and villages await you!
We would like to offer campers some advice while travelling. The Camping Code of Conduct helps to ensure you have an enjoyable and safer experience while visiting. It also helps us protect and support our local communities for future generations.
CAMPING ETIQUETTE
1. Follow the rules of the right to roam.
The Norwegian right to roam entitles everyone to travel freely in the great outdoors, but remember it comes with certain obligations – you need to show consideration for nature, wildlife and other people.
2. Use dedicated campsites and motorhome pitches whenever possible.
It’s safe. And it is often the best choice as it promises a better experience and helps to support local communities.
3. Show consideration when wild camping.
Remember to camp at least 150 metres away from any buildings, avoid private property and farmland, and do not drive off-road. Do not park in passing places on the side of the road. Picnic areas are primarily for short stops.
Pay attention to signs and weather forecasts - some areas may be at risk of landslides and flooding.

4. Keep at least four metres distance from other vehicles etc.
For reasons of fire safety and comfort, ensure there is at least four metres between you and other motorhomes/caravans/tents.
5. Respect signage and rules.
Respect signs that prohibit overnight stays, parking or access.
6. Drive safely and considerately.
Adapt your speed to the road and driving conditions. Some roads are narrow and not suitable for motorhomes/
caravans. You don’t always have to drive as fast as the legal speed limit.
Pull into passing places to let other road users pass you.
Show consideration for oncoming traffic.
Winter roads can be challenging - make sure you have the necessary driving skills and that your vehicle is equipped for winter driving.

7. Shop locally – experience more.
Support local producers and discover new tastes, unique traditions and exciting experiences.
8. Respect domestic and wild animals.
The best you can do for wildlife is not to disturb it. Do not feed any animals.
Close gates behind you and keep animals on a leash when required by law.
9. Take your rubbish with you.
Use rubbish bins, WCs and waste emptying stations for motorhomes/caravans to help keep nature clean.
Recycle whenever possible.
10. Give nature a rest.
Avoid sharing nature’s ‘hidden’ gems on social media if they’re not designed for camping.
Certain places are best enjoyed without too many visitors.
Enjoy Norway in a considerate way! Have a great holiday!
