Homlong Camping Hytter - Reviews

auto-translated: Difficult to describe this plant...

There is no reception.
A very friendly lady in the neighbouring square told me in perfect English that we should look for a grey car. The operator was sitting in there and we found him after a while.

Geiranger was fully booked, it was raining and we just wanted a place to sleep.
Luckily we got the last available cabin.

Well, our hut (unfortunately I can't say otherwise) was totally run down and you really had to be tough to spend the night here. Dirty, worn and crumbled mattresses. There was a full-bodied odour of wee and changing room in the hut. Bunk beds, chair, table, ready.
Small veranda with a (terribly noisy) 40-year-old fridge and an even older hob. No bed linen and towel hire.

The hut was right on the water and the view from the veranda made up for it.
My wife still preferred to sleep in the car.

It felt like the toilets were last renovated 30 years ago and are pretty run-down.

At least there was a single, relatively new washbasin with a cover and hot water for washing up.

NOK 700 for one night for a 4-man hut is okay if you don't have high standards and are equipped with crockery and bedding.

Purely a hut park, I didn't see any tents or camper vans.

There were a few battered rowing boats with life jackets in them bobbing in the water.
Can't say whether they were part of it.

Apart from that, I couldn't discover anything else on the site, but it's a nice 20-minute walk to Geiranger, where you can do all sorts of things, e.g. boat hire, speedboat tour, fjord cruise, bus tour, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, etc. Restaurants, souvenir shops, shops and restaurants.
Restaurants, souvenir shops and a supermarket are also available.

#Overnight stay

Seen on departure:
There is a small separate meadow for tents and camper vans

auto-translated: Simple cabins with a view of the fjord and Geiranger. The cabins had no water connection. The sanitary facilities should be renovated one day.

auto-translated: The way I saw it, there are only cabins. great location overlooking Geiranger located directly on the fjord. Cabins kept very simple. But in our hut at least toilet and shower. To Geiranger about 2 km by foot. Payment only cash or by Paypal.

auto-translated: In mid-July Homlong was the only campsite in Geiranger that still had places available for campers at 5 pm. Basically it was just a parking place on a meadow parking lot without electricity and only one WC. But: Great location and view on Geiranger away from the mass tourism, and starting point of the impressive Homlong-hike.

auto-translated: Been here before in 2014 and also in the same cabin. It was already in the years then, in the last 5 years nothing has changed. The furnishings are ancient, except for the double hotplate and refrigerator there is nothing. Price 550 kr for cabin with shower and WC OK. Great location directly at the Geirangerfjord. Approx. 3 km from Geiranger on a gravel road.

auto-translated: We stayed one night in a cabin incl. Bathroom. Would not return, as both the bathroom and the kitchen area were dirty. Living and sleeping area were clean. The location was nice and quiet, right on the water. Price was good.

auto-translated: we stayed here for one night. the cabin right on the water was great. Price performance OK. although the cabins are kept very simple.

auto-translated: Price very fair, but a bit old. But everything was really clean. We paid 450 NOK for a cabin with bath.
Nice view on Geiranger.

auto-translated: My wife and I will be riding a motorcycle at Homlong Camping Hytter in July 2015.
for one night and paid 350 crowns. We had the cabin directly above the washhouse. In the cutlery box lay mice excrement. The beds were so hard that we had bruises. The whole hut was simply dilapidated. The wash house was old and dirty. The best was the view of the Geiranger, but that was everything. We will not spend the night here anymore.

auto-translated: Old cabins with old equipment. Relatively clean. Sanitary old, but clean. Shower curtains, no room for crockery. Access via the backyard of Geiranger. GREAT VIEW ON GEIRANGER. 400 NOK
