Utvika Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: Large site with many permanent campers. Many free places at the end of August, nevertheless some traffic, apparently many using it as a starting point for the ferries from Oslo.

Complicated pricing policy, there are 4 rates for pitch size and 3 for season. At the end of August it was still high season, with 430 NOK for the second smallest pitch size it was the most expensive pitch of the whole holiday (electricity and showers included). You won't find the price list on the internet or on the notice board, only in reception on the counter; and according to the notice board, it is only open for 1 hour in the evening from 7 o'clock.

Unexpected:
Even at this time of year, there were still mosquitoes, and the beach, playground and volleyball court were metres under water (see photo).

auto-translated: The site is fully utilised which means you are really very close together. You have to love that, or not be bothered by it. We were.

auto-translated: Beautiful site near Oslo (approx. 40 km). Very quiet despite the road next to it.
Of course it is crowded in summer, when Norwegians also have holidays, and the sanitary facilities are not very clean after being used by many people, but this is not the fault of the campsite operators but of the users. They are cleaned daily, and the showers are also nice and warm (we have experienced this differently at some other campsites in Norway).
With the caravan, although the site was fully booked, we had plenty of space to the neighbour, we were not standing close to each other.
A good starting point for trips to Oslo.
Children have fun on the fenced playground with air cushions and on the beach.
There is a self-service shop right at the campsite with everything you need, which is not that overpriced for being at a campsite (Norway is not that cheap anyway).

We liked it there.

auto-translated: When paying, the indication that showers were included, but the showers were either locked or out of order

auto-translated: Were there one night...place choice free, stood first row to the lake...wonderfully quiet. Reception friendly. Sanitary absolutely ok.

auto-translated: For one night perfectly fine, tent meadow nicely situated on the shore of the lake

auto-translated: Permanent camper stronghold. The camper vans are parked between the road and the permanent campers. The terrain there is quite sloping and difficult to level. The sanitary facilities are moderate and leave much to be desired in terms of cleanliness. The staff is nice.

Conclusion: Suitable as a short overnight stop before the ferry, but in no case more!

Nice campsite near Oslo, we stayed here one night when driving from Sweden to the fjords.
Big playground in the middle for kids. End of August, there was enough space for motorhomes and tents. Sanitary facilities were clean and enough available. Kitchen with a stove available.

auto-translated: Unkempt and disgusting sanitary facilities. Directly next to our pitch was dredging (construction site). Price

auto-translated: As already described, the course is situated on a slope, but there are level places directly at the water (gravel) and further up at the entrance. With wedges you can go by motorhome. Apparently, the place has been rebuilt big in the area of the reception, but this upgrades everything. Grey water disposal is awkwardly located, showers are still 4min per 10Kr. sanitary area average but clean.

auto-translated: The resort has good camping sites - some of them directly at the water (which mosquitoes also like). But it is also located directly at a busy road, which can be heard very clearly. Good that we had earplugs - we needed them for sleeping.

auto-translated: rather busy and messy because of the renovations.

auto-translated: The owner was very friendly and helpful.
Very quiet place and clean.
Sanitary facilities and kitchen very clean and well equipped.

Great campsite not far from Oslo. Good showers. Beautiful lake nearby with stunning sunset view. Everything clean and calm.

auto-translated: Especially in the renovation, otherwise the place was okay. Too few showers. 4 minutes showering costs 10 kroner. Hot rinse water costs too. Nice beach.

auto-translated: Rather coincidentally because of rain landed here! Nice staff, cabin was clean, unfortunately, it lacks sufficient showers and toilets. But it is being rebuilt, that gives hope. Utoya Island is just outside the square. From the jetty you can also go swimming. For a night with Mopped o.k.

auto-translated: Somewhat chaotically organized, but probably only for remodeling.
Family-friendly place with large playground, trampolines and family shower, as well as changing room for babies and children. Swimming at the lake possible.
Camping for tents on the lake possible. Many pitches are maintained Dauercamperplätze.

auto-translated: Very quiet . Nice place. Relatively empty (31.08 - 02.09). Clean sanitary facilities.

auto-translated: Many permanent campers are well filled, but still have good space.
Sanitary facilities are ok.
Warm rinsing water costs extra

auto-translated: showers and warm rinsing water costs extra. otherwise space ok

A nice family campsite, with lots of activities. Mostly caravan spots, tent places were not great. And quite expensive, considering I was alone in a small tent.
