Trolltunga Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: The resort was overcrowded. The sanitary facilities are inadequate and not clean. The young people at reception are friendly but don't take their job seriously or are overwhelmed. The main thing is to have fun. The proximity to the Buarbreen glacier leads to a lot of hustle and bustle on the campsite. We would not come back.

Beautiful surroundings, excelent place. Well-designed and should be sufficient with less people (however, difficult to find another place in the area, so glad that accommodated more people ). Very friendly staff.

auto-translated: It was quite cramped and all the pitches right by the lake were already taken. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The showers and washing machine can be paid for by card, which is very practical. There is a shuttle bus directly from the campsite to Trolltunga and a pizzeria nearby. The nearest supermarket is about a 25-minute walk away.

auto-translated: The campsite is far too expensive for what is there . Very limited sanitary facilities which are also outdated and cramped for the overcrowded campsite . For a pitch with caravan with 2 people with electricity you have to charge 590 Kronen per night . That is by far the absolute record we have had to charge in Scandinavia so far . Much better facilities for a much lower price. Better skip this campsite if mee doesn't want to pay a headline price .

First things first: The price of 250NOK for a small tent is nice. Location in Odda is really handy as well. Pretty quiet for being this close to the City/Big road.
It is located next to to a glacier Lake though, so expect cooler than usual nights. (2-3 degrees in the first half of September)

But now for the negative parts:
The showers are 20NOK for 5minutes. They are small and only one of them has a curtian so your clothes will most likely get wet.
Also one of them was jamming shower coins all the time. (We heared a few people complain about that)

Kitchen is clean but too small for the camp ground size. People constantly have to wait to cook/do the dishes even though the camp geound was like 60% full.
Also the kitchen door opens to the outside right into the main path to the showers/toilets. So we saw a few people get slammed into the face when passing the kitchen door.

The seating area has 3 4people Benches that are really prone to tipping over. So sitting on them allone without a counterweight might be a challenge for some people.

Too many tents and Vans for a too small area. Half of the Caravan places full of mud. We had to pay for electricity, but the possible power plugs (Just two) were too far away. kitchen/dish washing way too small for so many people, same for the sanitary. Too expensive for this ...

auto-translated: So the place definitely scores only by its proximity to the Trolltunga. Sanitary facilities were not particularly neat, I found only 2 toilets for the whole place, in the showers you have to pay for hot water outside the shower and the time runs from now. :(

The worst I found the kitchen situation: an 8 sqm room, without windows!!! with 2 sinks, where there was already no hot water at 7 pm, and 4 hobs (without exhaust to the outside). You literally suffocate in it when rinsing, when cooking at the same time.

Wifi rather so lala, but for me is also not top priority.

The place itself requires in any case the use of wedges!

auto-translated: Even at the beginning of the off-season you can find here the first "base camp" for many Trolltunga tourists! In the rain quickly muddy terrain, not all sites are graveled.
Kitchen and dishwashing facilities in one and tiny (2 sites each), sanitary facilities rustic but mostly clean. Showers for 5 minutes 20 crowns.
Place is not parcelled throughout, many stand where there is still space (distances between 3-4m are requested, but seem to be relative).
For a short stop fully ok, longer stay I would plan elsewhere.

auto-translated: Location is great and perfect for excursions and hikes.
Great view of the lake.

When it rains, the space is very poor.
Electricity connections not enough available.
Cleanliness of sanitary facilities leaves a lot to be desired.

Price

auto-translated: Located directly on the lake. Camping site partly littered and well attended. Sanitary facilities were clean and the kitchen as well. Light hostel flair.

auto-translated: Nice campsite, but quite muddy when it rains.

quite a small place witg lots if ppl staying only one day. cosy kitchen area.

auto-translated: Small campsite so it fills up quickly. Good and clean sanitary facilities. Laundry and drying room with drying racks that can be borrowed. Spacious kitchen. Space for large tents limited. No playground for young children. Beautiful view over the lake. Walking some shopping in Odda is well possible (total 4 to 5 kilometers with height differences). No campsite for 2 weeks, but fine for a few days.

auto-translated: Super starting point for the hike to Trolltunga and Buarbreen glacier. Tent site with a view of the adjacent lake. The sanitary facilities and kitchen are perfectly fine. There is also a refrigerator and a boot dryer.

auto-translated: Even at the end of May 2022, this small place was quickly crowded and uncomfortable. Okay for one night, nothing more.

auto-translated: Place is full from 15.00, hustle and bustle every day, sanitary facilities clean, great starting point for hikes, Trolltunga best from P3, pre-order or bus from P2 to P3, helps immensely, from P3 still 10km there, nix for kids

Camping site is nicely situated close to a lake. Area for tents is pretty small, so you need to arrive early if you stay in a tent. It seems that many visitors stay on this camping site for visiting the Trolltunga rock. Those get up very early (6 a.m.), making some noise.

Empty soap dispensers on the toilet.

auto-translated: This place is loaded to the brim. Hardly room for the awning because campers and caravans are squeezed into every gap.
350 crowns + 20 crowns for shower.
Certainly not again.

auto-translated: Situated directly on the lake and a great starting point to visit Odda and Trolltunga. In the evening the place gets very crowded, one should not arrive too late.
There is also a shuttle from the site to the Trolltunga starting point.
Sanitary facilities clean, but there are not many showers.

auto-translated: Campsite with a really great view of the lake + waterfall. Many people come just for one night to walk to the Trolltunga. Therefore it gets very crowded and bustling in the afternoon. One stands then very close together. The sanitary facilities were relatively clean, only too few showers and toilets for the crowd. But for one night it was ok. Location is great as a starting point for hikes or a side trip to the city.

auto-translated: Very beautiful and quietly situated on the lake, perfect for activities in and around odda (hiking: Trolltunga with bus shuttle, Buarbreen, Husedalen...). Really very nice and helpful staff. There is a well-equipped heated kitchen, refrigerator, drying cupboard for shoes, washing facilities. For a tent + car we paid 250kr. Showers cost extra.
All in all recommendable!

The camping was too full. They let everyone camp. People with tents are even camping outside the camping area. There where not enough kitchen facilities. We had to wait in line to do the dishes. Expensive camping and you even had to pay to shower. If you have a small tent and you are lucky you can have a nice place to put up the tent near the lake. (visited in high season and good weather)

It's a camping area suitable for Trolltunga hiking. There is a lot of tents in small area. Sanitary are clean, the kitchen too but there is no utensils to cook and eat.

auto-translated: Very crowded in high season. Anyone who could find a place for a tent should do so, the sanitary facilities and kitchen were full or overcrowded. The place is however very beautifully at the lake. The street is partly very loud. I find the price of 550 NOK for car + tent + 4 persons too high.

auto-translated: A little noise from the road, but everything's okay.

auto-translated: beautifully situated. friendly and helpful staff. many young travellers. the site is well suited as a starting point for various activities around odda (kayaking, hiking, biking, climbing).

Price: 250kr per night
Wifi: Yes, free
Shower: Paid (20kr / 5min)
Kitchen: Yes
Water cooker: Yes

Rather small kitchen. No dining room. Not very clean. Close to the start of the Trolltunga hike trail!

auto-translated: One of only two campsites in Odda, where the second is a pure pitch at the bus station (without showers). That's also why it is very crowded. Most campers stay a maximum of two nights and the staff is committed accordingly. An early arrival is worthwhile. There is a small kitchen (1x stove + 2x2 hotplates). But for the whole place there are only two sinks with cold water. The sanitary facilities are ok. Who can and likes, in or around Odda rather free stand.

auto-translated: Nice location, but way too busy. kitchen good, but way too small. same for the plumbing.

auto-translated: beautiful location on the lake but completely overcrowded

auto-translated: The campsite is probably used by most campers for the tour to Trolltunga - unfortunately it is not suitable for more. Very busy, sanitation really very dirty and in need of renovation (which is also better with a large amount of visitors, as you can see, for example. Preikestolen camping) and quite expensive. You really can not relax here, but to do the Trolltunga tour is a good starting point. Odda itself is a surprisingly large town with many shops.

auto-translated: So full, no space in the kitchen and showers i. 30-45min wait, tent on the road = no peace, no fishing opportunity, every little thing costs extra. To relax, this place is not suitable, only for activities that start very early and do not require sleep.

auto-translated: The whole place itself is not very big. We stayed one night in early July and it was very crowded. The cabins are right at the entrance and opposite the sanitary facilities. That's why there's always something going on. Felt the whole place was crowded, as outside (or on neighboring properties) was camped and the campers also came to the campsite for showering and washing.

auto-translated: The place is OK overall, but very expensive. 300 NOK for a tent and 20NOK for showering.

It was very crowded, places are very small. It has not enough toilets for how many telts and caravan places they have. It costs 350 with electricity and it has dirty toilets and showers. No playground for children. Not enough place between caravans for children to play.

auto-translated: The location is really good and nicely located. We were lucky and got the last parking space at 7.30 pm between several campers. It is already very busy. Otherwise it is solid. For 300 crowns including electricity, it is rather expensive.

Turned up and there was no space. everywhere was dirty plus very expensive. People camped on top of each other. Reminiscent of a festival (We didn't stay)

auto-translated: Seems dead.

Was extremely crowded, so much that people started to camp across the road in the public area. Tip, check Airbnb listings. Can find value for money

auto-translated: Fantastic location directly at the lake with view to the waterfall. The sanitary facilities are much too small when the place is full and with 20 NOK the showers are quite expensive. When it rains, everything sinks.

auto-translated: Just too crowded. Staff in the reception unfortunately very superficial.

Sanitary is old and without much comfort. You have to pay for hot water in the kitchen. Quality and costs arent in balance.

toilets and showers were smal and not cleean. many turists and feels crouded. when raining the site feels very wet. low on staff.

auto-translated: Clean and tidy facilities. Also here the cleanliness depends on the users, who expects clean should also leave clean. Sufficient showers and toilets available (August 2016), small kitchen, no lounge. For WoMo failed places directly at the lake. Not recommended for WoMo when it rains. Overall impression: tidy, friendly and many activities possible.

auto-translated: Actually, it's a little cozy place. Unfortunately due to the proximity to the trolltunga and other popular points mega full - the sanitary facilities have been far too few and also very dirty. For warm water for the washing up a few crowns are also required. Due to the fact that there are always more guests trickling in late in the evening, they all camp very close together. The young woman at the reception was super nice and can give good tips for the region.

auto-translated: For an overnight stay okay, for other things the place doesn't seem to be used either. Sanitary not quite up to date anymore, but we didn't experience it as bad as the other reviewers. Unfortunately the glacier with the Womo could not be reached at the beginning of June yet.

auto-translated: Used in transit.
not very recommendable

No service. No hot water in the kitchen. Not vessel liquid as well. No lock in the shower. External to the shower money thrower. Cold in toilets. Innondation in the shower. Expensive and no service.

auto-translated: only two (!) ladies' toilets, mouldy shower panels, no lounge, only one stove, two washbasins in the kitchen. Room very small. Beautifully situated by the water, various tour offers in Hardangervidda.

auto-translated: After visiting the square and the sanitary facilities, we decided to continue. Sleeping here has no purpose. Too crowded and the toilets were dirty.
