Geiranger Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: Good place at the harbour of the big luxury liners. Good opportunities for hiking or other activities.
No WiFi, but the rest makes up for it.

auto-translated: The site is dominated by its location directly on the fjord and jetty for cruise ships. Pitches very narrow, sanitary facilities insufficient for the crowds. Another criticism is that tourists from the ships are constantly walking across the campsite. There is no peace and quiet as long as one or more ships are in the fjord. Sanitary facilities are equipped with a code, but tourists then wait until someone comes from the toilets. Reception is very nice and helpful, but in the afternoon there is chaos on the campsite due to the crowds.

auto-translated: Cool place...recommend

auto-translated: Beautifully situated pitch at the end of the fjord. Situated directly on the water. Early arrival recommended in the main holiday season (July). Before 12 noon. The pitch is definitely full from 2 pm. Cruise ships clearly disrupt the view of the fjord and make it noisy from 4 pm when the engine generates more power because of the returning passengers.

auto-translated: Sanitary facilities clean, for the number of visitors there should be more showers available, showers cost NOK 10 extra for 5 minutes, staff friendly and helpful, long walk from the campsite to the sanitary building, site is right next to the harbour, supermarket right next door, I spent one night here, the special attraction is certainly the location

auto-translated: We spent one night there. The place was very full due to a cruise ship. The pitch was very nice at the back. From there you are right in the centre, but still have your peace and quiet. Friendly staff, small kiosk and lots of water and waterfalls

auto-translated: We were here in September and had a front row seat. It was wonderfully quiet because there were no cruise ships in the fjord. A great view, the grounds are in good condition. We would love to come here again and again.

auto-translated: The tent meadow was very wet and muddy, but the operator takes good care of the whole place. It is just a mass processing for Geiranger tourists, which I personally find a bit expensive.

auto-translated: We had pitched the tent in corner where it was reasonably quiet. However, the campsite was packed both days and is very large, where it was not surprising if you had to wait a while to shower or go to the toilet.

Sanitary facilities are clean, staff friendly.

We ourselves like something smaller but all other campsites were like full in the area.
All in all, not disappointing.

auto-translated: When there is not a cruise ship anchored in front of the campsite and the many tourists storm the place, it is actually quite quiet.
Adequate for one or two nights in transit.
Sanitary facilities clean, showers too few for the number of guests.
Showers cost NOK 10 for 5 minutes.
Early arrival ensures a pitch.
Cost for one night with camper van, incl. 2 persons and electricity is NOK 390.

auto-translated: We were there at the end of May it was super very friendly and nice staff kitchen and WC,s a little in the years come but everything very clean waterfall and town in a few minutes to reach we have felt very comfortable come back in any case

auto-translated: Due to the location more than full. I recommend everyone to look before paying, whether at all a place is still free. The location is of course unique. Otherwise, there is not much to say about the place.

auto-translated: We were for 2 nights at the campsite, very nice staff also German-speaking. Laundry wash and dry ran smoothly with coins purchased in advance. Entry and exit of the cruise ships is a spectacle, all on the CP are in front on the water to look. Very nice excursions, the waterfall hi her the CP a little noisy but you get used to it. We would come again.

auto-translated: Were for two nights to look at the fjord and surroundings. The place was completely soaked by the rain of the days before or a quagmire. Parking on the pitches was almost impossible, because you sunk up to 10 cm and ran the risk of getting stuck. A place care with Aufschüttung of gravel ect. So that one could maneuver safely did not take place. Just as annoying is that the place is not closed off and daily the passengers from the cruise ships run through the place. You feel like you are in a zoo.
The only positive is the friendly staff.

auto-translated: A great place in Geiranger, good to use for hiking tours. The lady of the reception very nice and accommodating. She also immediately leashed her dear 14 year old dog, as our 6 year old husky panics at unleashed dogs Forever philosophized in English about dogs, so our tour started late. Wifi excellent - sanitary facilities top clean. Only observation - we would never use June-July-August, because then not only the campsite bursts at the seams, but the whole village that has a lovely flair

auto-translated: I was there at the end of September with dog & cat in the camper and enjoyed the time very much, because we had the place almost to ourselves. Very friendly reception, the nice lady even spoke German and was very helpful with tips for activities. Of course I like to come back to a place that is also very dog and cat friendly

auto-translated: Nice reception. Sanitary facilities clean and functional.
Not so crowded in Corona summer, so very nice to relax for a day or two after visiting Trollstigen. I could imagine that in "normal" years it can get quite crowded. Then, when a big ship docks, instead of 250 inhabitants, Geiranger suddenly has 5000 people in a very small space.
Very nice starting point to continue to Dalsnibba and to watch the ships in the fjord. Right next to the campsite is a "Joker" where you can fill up your supplies.

auto-translated: We were very unsure if we should stop at Vinje or Geiranger camping, but after driving past Vinje camping to also check out Geiranger camping before we decided, we have no doubt that the choice was right. Mostly because we don't see that we had a view at Vinje camping. Geiranger camping is also located in the center so it is a short walk to the few shops that are. Can recommend Geiranger chocolate shop. At the campsite we stood right by the lake with a great view of the fjord. We are very satisfied with our stay and would like to come again.

auto-translated: Located at the end of the fjord is this larger site. very well organized, allocated pitches. Very friendly reception, sanitary facilities sufficient and very clean available, good self-cleaning tool.
This place is a pleasure.
you can start tours and is within walking distance of a small village.

auto-translated: A very nice place when you visit the Geirangerfjord.
We have come with the ferry from Hellesylt including Womo. From the pier no 5 minutes to the campsite, directly on the fjord. There are many places, so that one is actually always found. We stayed 2 nights and could change in the second night directly to a place at the water's edge.
Sanitary facilities is manageable but sufficient. There are numerous offers in the place, whether on the water or the by electric car on land.
Both stretches from the valley go with some serpentines up the mountains and are an experience.

auto-translated: Large but beautiful campsite. Sanitary facilities seem too small at first sight, but we never had to wait. Everything is nice and clean.
From the campsite you can reach great hiking trails.

Overcrowded and lack of organization and politeness would be my very description for.thia camping.
We had the worst experience in a camping ever, some guy decided we were to close to his RV and made a complain, the guy from the camping arrived saying he was "the boss" and that we should move because our neighbors were not happy with us there, we've just arrived, for obvious reasons we tried to have our money back and leave, the camping "boss" doesn't even know how to cancel the operation on the credit card and we had to get our money back in NOK which we didn't want as we were about to leave the country.
The worst was to see that the "boss" of the camping doesn't care in solving the problem, he just said "you have to options, move or leave with NOKs", really terrible treatment, I'd never expect that in a country like this with usually so polite people.

auto-translated: Little activity at the beginning of September. 2 nights (2 pers.WoMo) spent here. Place very clean, sanitary facilities TOP! Friendly reception at the reception. Incomparable panorama. suitable for excursions in the surroundings.
It should be very crowded in summer, but outside the season we had a wonderful place in the first row.

auto-translated: Nice place right by the fjord. Sanitary facilities clean and sufficient. Shopping possibilities directly on the spot. Kitchen, washing machines available.
Directly at the landing stage of the cruise ships. Here it can become then suddenly quite full.

auto-translated: Beautiful place in super situation directly at the fjord in the middle of the village. Unfortunately always very crowded, early arrival is worth it.

auto-translated: Beautiful campsite on the fjord. Busy. Plenty of space for tents, most of them are campers. Good sanitary facilities.

auto-translated: Pro: Location directly at Geiranger, sanitary facilities clean, level campsites
Contra: sanitary facilities far away from the tents, VERY full, no lounges (e.g. no kitchen with tables)

auto-translated: Too crowded again. Geiranger already overcrowded in summer. Place well laid out, great location directly at the fjord, centre about 150m away, big cruise ships dock directly in front of the place. Sanitary houses too small and outdated. Too few electricity connections available.

auto-translated: Very nice place, there impressive nature. Early arrival is worthwhile, because it is probably very popular.

auto-translated: Very beautiful location, however, the sanitary facilities urgently need to be rehabilitated. All hikes are very nice.

Set up to cater for campervans/mobile homes only. Unsuitable for tents in cold or wet weather. Nowhere sheltered to sit and relax.

WiFi is very intermittent.

auto-translated: A very nice and well maintained campsite at the beautiful Geirangerfjord.
WC's and showers are sufficiently available and clean. The nice gentleman at the reception checked us in very fast.

auto-translated: Very beautiful CP in a beautiful landscape, service Ok, sanitary facilities sufficiently large and clean

auto-translated: A beautifully situated campsite right on the banks of the Geirangerfjord.
Several cruise ships arrive daily and the place is pretty crowded. Once the ships leave the fjord, it is pleasantly quiet. The environment is ideal for hiking.
The toilets are very clean.

auto-translated: Very busy, you should arrive early!
But beautiful place with great views and good starting point for all things Geiranger Fjord.

auto-translated: Stayed there for one night. Positive: shops, bakery, ATM nearby. great view of the fjord. ideal starting point for activities. Therefore, there was really something going on .. Nevertheless, the sanitary facilities were very clean and always relatively empty. There were a lot of dogs on site, but everything was well-behaved.

auto-translated: The Camping directly at eye level (water level) with the cruise ships dock in Geiranger. 330 crowns incl electricity. However, this is exactly the problem. Anyone who is there early still has the chance for electricity. Partly wild cable because the Womostellplätze have no markings (the 3m distance limit partly rather questionably complied with.) Sanitary facilities very ok but completely overcrowded.

auto-translated: large massive campsite. bad wifi. fine if you like crowds and tourism. nice if you're on the waterfront, otherwise it's just a terraced campsite

auto-translated: Probably the best campsite on Geieranger. Right on the water, great view of the fjord.

Top sanitary facilities, which are clean even during peak times. Wash basins, toilets and showers are each one by one. Washbasin with cabin. Showers: 10 NOK for 5 minutes.

We stayed the night before at Vinje Camping in Geieranger which was not bad but this place is worlds better.

auto-translated: Location is great. Therefore, always a lot going on.
Unfortunately, the sanitary facilities are far too small for this size and number of campers.

Very good view over the fjord if you get one of the front spots. Bathrooms very clean an looked new. Friendly reception. Close to city and waterfall hike.

auto-translated: Nice place. Clean sanitary facilities. Not so crowded at the end of August. During or after rain the ground is relatively soft. Good starting point for hikes.

auto-translated: Top place in Geiranger, were right by the water. Price performance fits.

auto-translated: we were there with two tents and motorbikes. Get hold of a place right on the water. Good sanitary facilities. A kitchen with gas stove (free) is also available. Reception is German speaking.
a recommendation without restrictions!

auto-translated: With a bit of luck you can get a place right on the water. Location ideal for hiking and other activities.

auto-translated: We were on this course at the end of June 2016. My wife and I (30 and 27) can only warmly recommend this place. The sanitary facilities have always been clean and we had a fresh, not outdated impression. The location and the view is simply gigantic and couldn't be better if you make it to the first or second row ;). Price-performance top. GOES THERE, IT'S WORTH IT. Small tip from us in good weather. We walked from Geiranger to a farm and from there to a 550m high vantage point directly at the rock. Worth it! The easy way is about 2 hours.

auto-translated: beautiful tourist attraction directly at the fjord with top view. It is kept very clean.
Tip for WoMo or caravan drivers: Only down the Trollstiegen and then with the ferry over Hellesylt out again. Costs with WoMo approx. 70 € and is at the same time a great fjord trip. And it is better for the clutch and the gearbox.

auto-translated: A very large complex located directly in the city and by the fjord. The view into the fjord is phenomenal. Since we prefer it to be quiet, small and rural, you can't turn around. ;-) The harbour is diagonally opposite and if one of the big Hurtigruten ships docks there, it's like the small village is attacked by a swarm of locusts. All in all it's a matter of taste.

auto-translated: Large complex, located directly in Geiranger. Very nice view into the fjord. Souvenir shops, supermarket and restaurants within walking distance. Sanitary facilities are and relatively new. When the place is full, it will be very narrow.

auto-translated: We liked the place a lot. Direct view to the big cruise ships. Above the square there is a fantastic view of the fjord.
