Ekeberg Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: We were here last year, as it's perfect for being close to Oslo. Today only on the return journey. The pitch for a motorhome is completely overpriced at 70.18 euros (799.00 kroner) per night, even if you can reach Oslo on foot. Half of the ladies toilets are "out of order". The pitch (meadow) is completely soaked after the rain. For the electricity connections, you sometimes need 20 metres of cable if you are not on one of the few tarmac paths. But that's probably how it is when you're almost the only pitch.

auto-translated: Large campsite with adequate sanitary facilities, somewhat in need of renovation and often dirty. Close to town with bus connections. Pitch fees a little too expensive. Restaurant/snack bar was delicious. Very large meadow for tents, unfortunately close to the road and sloping.

auto-translated: The proximity to Oslo is good. But that's about it: the pitch is expensive, unbearably muddy after prolonged rain, sometimes impassable, the sanitary facilities are poorly maintained, some of the power connections are so far away that 20 metres of cable can become scarce, and there is no regulation as to which power column the individual pitch should be connected to.
Despite the barrier being in place and closed, small vans drive past unhindered next to the barrier at night, which gives an uneasy feeling of security.
The negative highlight, however, was that other campers were parked on the pitch we had booked for an extra charge and the receptionist explained that she couldn't ask these campers to leave....????
We were refunded the extra charge for the booking and were able to move elsewhere. That was all.

auto-translated: As it had rained for a few days beforehand, many of the pitches were very soggy and muddy - it had a bit of a festival feel to it! Great views and good bus connections into the city. Bus routes 34 and 74 run frequently and regularly. The bus stop in front of the site is even called Ekeberg Camping. The sanitary facilities were sufficient, but not very comfortable. But that was okay. What bothered us was the price-performance ratio! At over NOK 900, this was by far the most expensive campsite for us in Norway.

auto-translated: Prices are formed according to stock market style: If demand is high, prices go up. For example, from the 850kr quoted at 12.30pm, which is already mega high, to 950kr just 10 hours later on arrival. As we drove straight on and found another pitch, I can't give any further assessment. I just wanted to inform you that they don't mention this aspect in emails and that's why there are no prices on the internet.

auto-translated: As it was the last overnight stay on our round trip through the south of Norway and we had already got to know a few campsites, our assessment is very sober. Perhaps we were a little spoilt.
We received a very friendly welcome at reception and were provided with all the important information. We were also offered a pitch exchange if we didn't like it. We found the price a little high, but electricity and showers were included.
The bus connection to the city centre was very good.
Depending on the pitch, the sanitary facilities are too far away, no longer meet Norwegian standards and are unworthy of a capital city campsite.
The footpaths were impassable due to the prolonged rain and the diversions via the tarmac paths was simply far too long.

auto-translated: It was expensive but the location is great and Oslo is within walking distance. If you want to see the city and focus on that, you can't complain.

auto-translated: Top campsite for visiting Oslo. Lots of toilets and showers so no waiting. Everything is clean but a bit outdated. It is on the expensive side but it was worth it to us because of the good connection to the city centre. Buses run very regularly, possibly you could even walk it.

auto-translated: We cannot understand the many bad reviews. There are special prices at certain times in the low season. Two nights, NOK 700 in total for a large pitch via online booking. The sanitary facilities are certainly in need of renovation but clean and plentiful. We were first allocated a sloping pitch. As we were there early and there was still some free space, we were able to swap without any problems. In the end, we were virtually on our own. A playground would be a bad investment for a large city campsite. Especially as the neighbouring park is a huge playground. We would definitely come back again.

auto-translated: Actually a nice place, next door is a park where people like to party when the weather is nice. The staff are super friendly. There are plenty of showers and toilets in the sanitary area. You can get to Oslo quickly by bus. The staff installed an app for us that we could use to travel. Dogs are welcome.

auto-translated: From here you can easily reach Oslo by public transport or on foot. That was the reason for our visit and seems to be the reason of the other campers as well. There is a nice view of the city and you can walk in the adjacent park/forest. The staff at the check in were friendly. It is also positive that you can take unlimited showers (people with long hair will appreciate this).

Unfortunately, that's about it for the good. There is no playground, although there would be plenty of room for it. The paths are so bumpy that our station wagon sat up every time. There is no recreation room. The paths to the only service building are extremely long. Depending on the location, 200 m and more. The showers are difficult to use for children and we found the shelves to be too few.

The tent meadow is spacious, but very crooked. In the high season, by the way, you should book online.

We paid the equivalent of 200€ for 2 tents and 2 nights. That's pretty steep, in my opinion.

auto-translated: This place lives from short overnight stays on the occasion of a visit to Oslo. The sanitary facilities on the male side are ready for demolition: when it rains, water drips from the lamps and from the ceiling. Cables (formerly coin-operated) hang in the shower cubicle next to open screws. Toilets similar, partly no longer fixed to the floor...This is not TopCamp level as you know it! When it rains, the site drains, access to the pitches via unpaved lawn. Nothing for children.

Stayed with rooftop tent which was considered as caravan (usually campings consider it as a tent and the price is lower). Very crowdy. Due to that you have to wait in the queue to wash the dishes. Women’s toilets/wash area was clean and nice. There are separate rooms for cleaning teeth etc.
The location in Ekebergparken is awesome.

auto-translated: A great location, the Ekeberg Park, which is well worth a visit, starts directly from the site and is therefore very convenient if you have a dog with you. When the weather is good, you have a great view over Oslo and you can get to the city centre quickly, 35 minutes on foot or 10 minutes by bus. The sanitary facilities are fully OK for the size. Hot water and electricity are included. There was a lot of congestion at the aid station and it was very busy.

auto-translated: What speaks in favour of the campsite is its proximity to Oslo. You can walk through the beautifully landscaped sculpture park directly into the city centre. Everything else, however, is comparatively worse than on other campsites. We were lucky with a relatively straight and not boggy pitch, other WMs were standing in the mud on a slope in quite a sloping position. The sanitary facilities are sufficient and also separated for the ladies (showers, toilets and washroom only), but not as nice as on other pitches. At night (and of course during the day) you have a great view of Oslo with all its lights. You pay comparatively more for a pitch. But we really didn't like the fact that there is only one waste disposal facility for WM. It's a huge site, so long queues are inevitable. We queued for over 30 minutes, behind us were 6 other WM.

auto-translated: The facility is much better than one might think based on many comments. We were positively surprised by this. Many people stay here (like us) who want to visit Oslo for a day or two. The price is like everything else in Oslo, much more expensive than in Germany (752 NOK for a motorhome). There is a minimum distance of 4 m to the neighbour. Electricity was no problem at all. We like to come back.

auto-translated: We had to pay 138 euros for 2 nights. What you get for this money is smelly toilets and super small showers. If you are lucky, you end up on a flat part of the campsite, but for the most part you are on a crooked pitch. The advantage is that you are very close to the city centre.

The worst camping for tent-campers in all Norway that I have seen. No flat place to find at all to put up your tent. If you want electricity you can only camp between hundreds of camper-cars.
The price is ridiculously high, so the worst camping for the most money.
The pay and checkin system of all “Topcamp” campings is bad for clients. You don’t see what you get. I changed to the cheaper tent field with no electricity and lost NOK 300 because Topcamp does not pay back.
The staff is unfriendly and rude, not focussed on the client. I will never return.

auto-translated: Very close to Oslo city centre, about 20 min walk. But that is the only thing that distinguishes the place.
Chech-in was fast and friendly.

auto-translated: First of all, the place is expensive, but downtown Oslo is a 20-minute walk. Makes up for the price of public transport.
Best to book and pay online in advance, we had no problems.
Sanitary facilities are sufficient and clean, if already bissl in the years.
Grey and black water disposal available, fresh water refill also.
Many sloping pitches, we had to use the drive-up wedges here for the first time.
A long power cable is certainly an advantage if the next power box is bissl further away.
Hot water in the shower is free.

For a city trip to Oslo ideal, for rest and relaxation rather go elsewhere.

auto-translated: I would just call it mass handling.
The place was full and we had trouble finding a place as booked with electricity for the caravan, because the place assigned to us was unfortunately not accessible by caravan.

The sanitary facilities are okay. However, there is a lack of space with sinks and storage space to brush teeth, etc.. Showers and toilets are sufficient.

The place is due to the location with Knapp 600Kronen for one night with caravan quite expensive, but at least you can book it in advance online, so you have a place for sure.

auto-translated: Terribly bad campsite. On arrival we had to pay 490 kroner =50 euros. For 1 night, without a car, without electricity! The field of the tents is located on the road, and incredibly crooked.

If you do not have to go, do not go! Next time I'd rather pay more for a hotel than come here and be dropped off.

auto-translated: The location above Oslo is great. This is unfortunately also the only positive, too little electricity, anyone can enter the site, no fencing, sanitary facilities antique, pitches sloping, eigentlichluch this is just a meadow for the high season, def price is much too high for it.

auto-translated: Arrived around 5pm in early July, no more sites with electricity available. On the other campsite was pointed out. Since no option then ca.55€ without Storm paid for one night. Small gap get assigned for which our team was much too large. Was more suitable for small caravan. Alternative inquired and got. However, the pitch was already occupied. Could then take the one behind. Something planned so the reception. Place was now directly on the edge therefore nice and quiet at the beginning. In the evening, however, all went for a walk with their dogs on the lawn behind including play and yapping. The place itself was very dirty (earplugs, tape remnants and and). Sanitary facilities older than me and very dirty due to the masses. Everything with queuing at peak times also disposal on departure. Showers with low water pressure and often hot

auto-translated: Brilliant location above the city. We were pleasantly surprised because the reviews were rather negative.
The place was well attended, registration took a while, but we found a straight place without problems.
Sanitary facilities not the newest but so far in shot.
Unfortunately, was zm 8 o'clock but so vie operation that we have preferred to shower in the camper instead of waiting a long time.

auto-translated: we were there at the beginning of September in the womo. nice pitch. sufficient sanitary facilities. moderately maintained but sufficiently clean. Reception only occupied from 9 to 18 clock. Wifi reception only at the reception available. location for oslo top. however gehts the mountain neatly up. with public transport but no problem. quite expensive but for the city trip well suited.

auto-translated: Have expected worst, but found the place ok - for a city campsite. Sure, the large and somewhat impersonal - but at the end of August only half occupied and the sanitary facilities simple, at times somewhat busy

auto-translated: After a tour through a large part of southern Norway with the motorhome, we naturally wanted to visit Oslo on the way back. So this was a switch for us from peace, space and lots of natural beauty to the hustle and bustle and the more international of the big city. We were only there to visit Oslo for a day and did not make too many demands on the camp site. You shouldn't do that in a big city either I think. For a big and busy campground it was okay though. In the evening at sunset we had a magnificent and magical view of Oslo. Just crossed a few grassy areas and the road and stood on the railing. Gorgeous! Enjoyed our day in Oslo itself. For a big city still neat and quiet and nowhere anti-social.
Minus point of the campground is that there are a bunch of very anti-social trailer-camp-dweller-like guests who let their rabid children hang around in the toilets at night. These very young children speak excellent English and bother guests by approaching them in a rather threatening manner and saying that you cannot brush your teeth in there. Our adult daughter had them pull the blood out from under the nails. Stay calm then.
Also, the campsite closed early in the evening so you can no longer go there with this kind of thing. Also you can no longer go there with your camper if you arrive late. We were fortunately on time, but saw many who had to turn around. Very bad for a city camping. If you are with a tent you can easily go inside and pitch your tent. No cock crowing about that. With a car you can also drive through reception past the barriers. Not so well organized there actually. Furthermore, fine vertoefd and the nights can spend quietly.

auto-translated: The facility is very large and crowded. Price is completely overpriced. We slept in the car and had to pay 490 NOK. Showers were included.

auto-translated: The size

auto-translated: Great location above Oslo with a view of the city. Good bus connection to the city.

auto-translated: Close to the center of Oslo located on a large meadow where level pitches are rather rare. Good bus connection. For us a good starting point to explore Oslo.

auto-translated: The tent sites are beautiful, huge meadow on which you can stand completely alone if you want.
The camper sites are not quite as nice, there it is a bit tighter.
The sanitary facilities were very clean and the place pretty quiet.
I can only recommend the place.

auto-translated: Very large campsite, close to the city center. The location is the biggest advantage of the campsite. Toilets and kitchens could be cleaner. Cell phone charging at the reception. During our stay, from Saturday to Sunday there was a party with loud music.

auto-translated: Simple layout, nice location. Price performance ratio very bad, since the sanitary facilities are old and predominantly not clean. The showers (15 crowns) are also not worth their money.

auto-translated: PriceDevelopment lousy. Far too few power connections for such a big place. The price for the shower would be okay if the water would keep the temperature reasonable and not constantly fluctuate. The cleanliness was so lala, but for so many people there in and out probably still in the frame. Unfortunately the trees hide the field of view of the city, otherwise one would have had a nice view. Bus connection very good, bus stop directly at the camp.

auto-translated: Not suitable for holidays, but for a visit in Oslo in any case. Unfortunately the sanitary facilities are not well in order. Good bus connection.

auto-translated: Very beautifully situated with plenty of space per caravan-mobile. Sanitary facilities clean and for the amount of time shower corridor 3 people could have showered. Small shop with the essentials available. I have also seen some dogs, i.e. you can obviously take them with you.

auto-translated: Two days in July, very good connection to Oslo. The place is on a mountain, so it is not possible to park the car at many places. Otherwise I join SeMo87.

auto-translated: Wasn't that crunchy.

auto-translated: Big square. Oslo typical price. There is something for every child age (also teenagers). We had a good place with view on Oslo and electricity. Sanitary partly defective - there is still air upwards for such a large place, but it is so far ok.

auto-translated: Big, hilly city camping. Heavy ascent for cyclists. It is difficult to find a straight area for the tent. For short stay o.k.

auto-translated: Space is ok for one night. Of course very high priced (395, - NOK) for a camper and 2 persons. The sanitary facilities were in a bad condition among the masses of people - but that is 95% of the users ....
The place is very well suited as a starting point for a city tour.
Come back again? At the moment rather no.

auto-translated: Practical camping with prices adapted to Oslo. The sanitary facilities were quite dirty and when we arrived in the evening, there was unfortunately a system failure, which no more shower cards could be issued. However, we were allowed to take a shower for free the next day due to the circumstances.
The course is spacious, but largely sloping.
For a one-night stay and to explore the city in order, but to relax unsuitable.

auto-translated: Last overnight in Norway, before going on the ferry home. Awesome located above the rooftops of Oslo. By public transport or bike, the city is easily and quickly reached u. Very well visited u almost no shady spots, but no problem for one night u still on a hill in the middle of the city ... Sanitary facilities are clean and well maintained.

auto-translated: It is the place to explore Oslo: good location, good bus connection!
All facilities are at a very convenient level. Electricity is available, but not sufficient, pitches marked with chalk - but is often not respected.
This is where everyone who wants to explore Oslo wants to meet for lack of alternative.

auto-translated: A great place to explore Oslo. In front of the square two bus line go directly to the center. (Tickets can and should be bought directly in the place shop)
Small tip, if you go to the square right after the barrier left and then right between the trees - there it is relatively flat and there is electricity. The electricity is also a small drawback, not the whole place is blessed with electricity - therefore, 50 m cable makes sense. The place has partly a bit hillside, there wedges help only conditionally.

auto-translated: The place is a bit out of the way, but with a bus stop right outside, you're in 15 min. in the city. The place is huge and basically a large area, almost no trees, i. no shadow, you feel very turned off. Price seems normal for Norway, I found it too high without electricity and shower.

very crowded place and very commercial. the only thing we liked about the place was the location, on a hill from which you could see Oslo. no many other options when you visit Oslo though, so good for one night stay.

We stayed here for three nights and really liked it. The location is great for visiting Oslo, the sunset view from the bridge is amazing (from the tent field you can take a shortcut so it's just a few meters).

auto-translated: To visit Oslo is the campsite. You can walk to the city center in 30 minutes through a forest road to Oslo. The place itself consists only of a large meadow, privacy is not given. The sanitary facilities are in order. The price-performance ratio is not right for me in this place.

Good Bus connections to the city.

Crowded and commercial, sanitary not very clean. But close to the center of Oslo, so okay for a night if you want to visit the city.

auto-translated: We stayed here for one night to explore Oslo. The place was really expensive, the most expensive in Norway and Sweden. The front desk sells direct tickets to the city and the bus station is on the doorstep which is super convenient and the city is only 10 mins away.
Of course, it is a very large camp and there are many noisy guests and the sanitary facilities are accordingly huge and the kitchen mostly crowded. OK for 1 day Oslo, but not really relaxing and very expensive

auto-translated: Great facility, perfect for a visit to Oslo. The toilets are not terribly great, but for one night perfectly fine. Also the park, in which the plant lies, is worth seeing.

auto-translated: Typical capital campsite. For a few days in Oslo completely sufficient.

auto-translated: real big city camping. lots of space, little shade. major disadvantage for tents: finding a flat spot is difficult. quiet. a lot of plumbing, a bit outdated but sufficiently clean. quite expensive

auto-translated: If you want to visit Oslo, the campsite is a good starting point. Bus stop to the central station is right in front of the campsite. 24-hour bus ticket can be purchased at the reception. 105 crowns per adult.
We paid 460 CZK for a caravan with electricity. 1x 5 minutes warm shower costs 15 crowns.
Sanitary facilities could be more beautiful ...
Attention: showers are VERY slippery.

auto-translated: The CP is conveniently located for exploring Oslo. Easily accessible on foot or by bus. The toilets are old and very poorly equipped, no storage space, barely hooked and the shower heads do not work - once the water dripping, each bus splashes it to the door all wet. the toilets are very tight. The price 400 Kr. For 2 persons with tent. Shower extra. in the morning very loud street noise. However, there is no alternative for Oslo close to town.

auto-translated: Very large place, despite everything, quiet. Yes, you need drive-on wedges, the terrain is natural and uneven! But no problem. Sanitary facilities are available in sufficient quantity and actually clean! If the guests were, it would be no problem as everywhere !! Bus stop right in front of the square, Oslo definitely worth it !!!
For such a foolish caravan the place is perfectly fine. Do not understand the bad reviews, especially the GDR comparison not. Bin Wessi and my barracks were a bit shabbier. The place is good !!!

auto-translated: On the basis of the previous reviews I had feared bad, but the campsite is exactly what you expect. In absolute proximity to the city center (bus timetable is directly at the check in with handed out) from Oslo of course not super cheap, but everything available. Sanitary facilities in a normal standard, but clean. Manageable number of power distributors. Pitches on the big meadow. Conclusion: not a huge charm, but functional and due to the proximity to Oslo good value for money. When it gets crowded, it probably will not be so nice here anymore.

auto-translated: 80% uneven .. overall beautiful grounds overlooking Oslo .. with bus nr.34 and 74 in 15 minutes in the center .. it is recommended a 24-hour ticket.

auto-translated: Campsite is very full! Reception very professional but friendly. Convenient location - everything is easily accessible. The sanitary facilities are partly very rustic and not very clean (but is also located at the Mitcampern.....). Machine and dryer available (40 NOK each). The place is well suitable for the visit of Oslo.

auto-translated: The only advantage is that you can reach Oslo on foot and explore it, in 25 min you're in the middle of it, the sanitary facilities are from the GDR, just as shabby as old, the only modern thing is the chip card recognition, the water in the shower runs 6 min, whether it needs one or not, the slope is quite steep at least further down, so take some wedges with you, with me the place was quite empty, well, the life from the vicinity, would I come back? If there is no alternative!

auto-translated: Ekeberg or Ekelberg camping?

Let's start, it's the only campsite in Oslo, the campsite is centrally located, with the bus that departs 100 meters from the campsite you need about 15 minutes to the city center.
So far so good, but the campsite is just on the mountain, in the whole tent area there is no place that is straight, everything is sloping. The campers have straight pitches ; )

Füt 350 Kronen 35€night is the real usury.
price performance = 0

Well, for a night in Oslo, that's fine...

auto-translated: Been there 17 years ago! Can't tell that anything has changed to the positive. Power connections not sufficient and only if central column free, with long cable to reach. Only Schuko sockets! When I see what is being built in Oslo and no noticeable change is happening here on the site, it is not understandable!

auto-translated: The campsite is close to the centre and you can look down directly on Oslo. The pitches are not subdivided and many are very uneven. You need a long power cable and there are also only Schuko plug connections. We had to move once because there was no free electricity in the row. The sanitary facilities are not so great, since one cannot regulate the warm water partly. Showers cost 15 NOK for 6min. Unfortunately we could not discover a playground.

auto-translated: Good campsite ! Especially if you come from the ferry and need an accommodation directly.
Washing machine available.
Sanitary facilities as far as good.
The good thing is there are hotplates with which you can eat fix or boil water.

auto-translated: Sanitation wasn't that great. Cold water came longer.
good location in Oslo, the city centre is within walking distance, but there is also a good bus connection.

auto-translated: Ideal for a visit to Oslo.
Everything OK!

auto-translated: Perfect for a visit to Oslo.

auto-translated: Good place with bus connection to the center of Oslo. Priced at the upper end of the scale. For this price the sanitary facilities should be better... During our visit in the middle of July 5 of 9 showers were broken in the right sanitary block of the men. Large meadow place. Certain pitches very uneven.

Close to the city centre (10 minutes by bus 34 or 74). Mostly not exactly a flat ground for tents, but doable. Ok facilities, including stoves available for free. Nice surrounding park inhabited by various interactive sculptures and offering great views onto the city.

Nice camping in a park near Oslo. It take half an hour to walk down the hill to the city center. The camping itself is not very special, but with a tent you have an excellent field of grass where you can camp with city view.

auto-translated: Hello Community,

My wife and I (30 and 27 years) were on the Ekeberg camping site at the end of June. We generally liked the campsite and its surroundings very much. The camping site itself was clean and lies with approximately 100m distance directly adjacent to a residential area without heavily frequented road. Right next to the campsite there is a large meadow with several football pitches, all of which were well frequented. Nevertheless we did not have a disturbing noise level on the campsite.
We can't say anything about the leisure offer, as we only used the place for one night and a short Oslob visit.
The sanitary facilities are a little older, which is basically not bad. Due to the size of the place, the toilets and laundry places are already arranged in large numbers behind each other. Something reminiscent of the Bundeswehr. For us it was annoying that the wash places with wash basins had no sockets and were not lockable. The showers were ok.
The price ratio was for the south in the upper range (after our Platzerfahrungen). The traffic connection probably justifies that. Directly before the plant the bus drives within 10 minutes into the center of Oslo. Perfect!

Greetings, Fl0rian

auto-translated: Recommended place for Oslo sightseeing. Sanitary was clean
Staff friendly and helpful. For tents many areas with some slope. Direct bus connection in front of the campsite. Moderately sorted and expensive kiosk integrated.

auto-translated: Huge square with great management (incl. security). Although the place was full to bursting, the sanitary facilities were in clean condition. Although this is a town square, nature is not neglected. In the evening wonderful view of Oslo.
