Wathne Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: Most beautiful campsite on our entire trip through Norway. Partly because of our pitch. Friendly welcome, were shown spots we could choose from to stand. A nice spot by the water near the beach was still free when we arrived around 2pm, then several campers arrived quite quickly and the beach was full. Quiet night we had, no nuisance. The showers were fantastic. Even a locker to put your things in. Also very clean and new. Everything was thought of.

auto-translated: We chose this place because it is relatively close to Preikestolen. (I can only recommend the tour to Preikestolen)
The campsite is okay. The washing machine costs 40 NOk. The showers are nice and free of charge. 3 toilets are not enough here in the high season. There are often queues. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the water is not exactly inviting for swimming. We found iron bars, car tyres and safety waistcoats in the water. The busy road right next to the campsite is not so nice either. The first lorries wake you up at 5 o'clock in the morning. As we climbed the Preikestolen during our visit, we won't be travelling to this site again.

auto-translated: We were here in the high season - very crowded and therefore very noisy (road, cars on the pitch, neighbours, children). We couldn't get a pitch by the water - but that didn't bother us. It was the noise and the inadequate sanitary facilities! Only 3 toilets and 3 showers (for men and women) for a fully booked and full pitch are simply not enough!

auto-translated: Very nice campsite. Very full in high season. The pitches right on the water are correspondingly busy, but if you do get to enjoy them, you are rewarded with a direct view of the lake. The site is very tidy, nice playground for the children and well-maintained sanitary facilities. Friendly and very helpful owner.

auto-translated: We'll be back, it was great to be there

auto-translated: Traffic from the road was not so bad
Beautiful place in front of the tent with an unobstructed view
Friendly staff, washing machine for a fee
Too bad there was no campfire

auto-translated: the campsite is run by a very friendly owner. we were able to find a spot for our tent by the river. nice spot, only you can't get to it with your car, so you have to carry your stuff. but then you're right by the river. At night, the campsite is full of campers, who then also park in the car park. this did not bother us. Sanitary facilities were good, but only the showers had 2 washbasins in a small space, making brushing your teeth a real hassle. This could be improved.

auto-translated: Nice and helpful manager, adjacent street is not a nuisance. Sanitary block fine and kitchen perfect. Lakefront location idyllic, water is far shallow and very cold. Many passers-by.

auto-translated: Beautiful place, especially for families there is a lot on offer. One evening there was a campfire and everyone was invited for sausages and wine.
When it's full, the toilets and flush facilities are overflowing at peak times. There are also a few power sockets at the sanitary block. The very friendly staff still do the work themselves.

auto-translated: Very nice, quiet campsite situated directly on the lake.

auto-translated: Small place. Very nice owner. Direct access to the lake.

very friendly and everything is clean and well maintained

auto-translated: Cozy small campground, beautifully situated on a fjord.

auto-translated: I felt very comfortable at the campsite. You have a great view. The sanitary facilities are clean and a modern kitchen is also available. To Preikestolen you need about 20min.
I did not notice any noise from the street. Gladly again

auto-translated: We wanted electricity so we ended up with our 3 tents on the lawn next to the road. We had quite some noise pollution from that. The lawn was a bit battered by the bad weather. We had beautiful weather. Showers are free and the building looks homely. It is kept clean. Behind the campsite is water and a lake. Bit chilly for swimming but very idyllic. Friendly owners. Good base to climb the Preikestolen (half hour drive).

auto-translated: Very nice place on the lake, but close to a road, but with little traffic. Sanitary facilities clean and without additional costs. Very nice operator. Washing machine + dryer 35 NOK each, on trust.

auto-translated: The campground is located on the road. Electricity is available on the large field by the road, but if you can do without electricity there are also spots on a (pebble) beach. Tents can be pitched on a strip of grass and campers on the edge of the pebble beach. Beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountain peaks. Rowing boat or canoe for hire. Very friendly owner, in good weather he also organizes a campfire on the beach. Sanitary clean, in high season at some times busy, so please wait for washing up or shower.

auto-translated: Top campsite. is located on a busy road.

auto-translated: Small place. Sanitary facilities very clean. Uncomplicated.

auto-translated: Really nice owners. Small, quaint place. Sanitary facilities clean, but a bit outdated but everything you need is available (small kitchen with microwave, kettle, stove, pots etc., fresh water for motorhomes, sink). For children there is a corner with a sandbox, a small swing and lots of toys and a trampoline.
Showers cost 10kr you pay and get a key. Showers without time limit. Washing machine and dryer are also extra 25kr.
Wlan only near the reception. All in all a nice little place which we would go to again and again

auto-translated: It is a nice campsite with very friendly owners. Beautiful views and many (clean) facilities.

auto-translated: Conveniently located place for excursions to Preikestolen and the surrounding area. Unfortunately directly at the road, but equipped with everything you need. Fully equipped kitchen, sanitary facilities were clean, playground for small and big children. The owners were incredibly nice. The only shortcoming: the water pressure and the water temperature when taking a shower were really underground.

auto-translated: Nice, small campsite. Friendly owner. Sanitary is fine.

Super firendly owners!!! Small camping, not crowded.
Kitchen small but enough to cook sth simple (cooker, kitchen utensils, fridge, microwave)
Sanitary facilities new and clean. Showers: pay about 10 NOK and get a key at the reception before 22:00, unlimited.
Tables and benches near reception
Wi-fi only near reception
Not many pitches for tents near lake and on small lawn near reception
Laundry is avaliable

we camped here after our hike to the preikestole. owners were so nice and there was a dry place near their house to chill when it was rainy. there was also a kitchen availible with cooking gear and a fridge. campground was all grass. €15 for one night in a tiny tent 2 persons.

Verry clean showers and kitchen!!!

auto-translated: Excellent camping !!! Very cozy, nice, family !! Camping with a soul !!! Lovely, friendly hosts! Other campsites with such a soulful atmosphere in Norway were no longer met. Good sanitary conditions, excellent cuisine. I recommend!

We found the place extremely family friendly, with a big playground area and good sanitary facilities. The terrain is not even, but we found that to be the case all around Norway, so make sure you have your leveling bricks with you. the place is very well located for reaching the Preikestolen hike in 30 minutes by car. Not a big camping, hence not crowded.

auto-translated: A VERY aged place ... cleanliness is obviously a foreign word (everywhere overfull garbage cans), even from the vaunted friendliness nothing to find. Sanitary ancient, only a sink, in the women only a shower went (two were broken), no water drainage possible and portable toilet you have to throw in a hole in the ground (with heavy Gullideckel) - only good that at Jørpeland is a disposal station. WiFi only near the reception. And for that 250 nok per night. ZERO recommended .. !!!

Awesome place. If you're not into a welcoming family atmosphere you would at least love the free coffee. The owners are really really friendly.
Kitchen, bathrooms, washing rooms, and patio available.

auto-translated: Incredibly friendly owner, 150 NOK for two people in a tent, free WLAN and coffee tea, 5 NOK for three minutes shower. Great place!

auto-translated: after a hike to Preikestolen we landed here. A very nice campsite that offers everything you need. Very clean and very friendly owners. Mutzbraten tastes great. once again to emphasize is the loving care of the owners . in the evening log the great view of a beautiful fjord point end

auto-translated: Cabins only for 4 persons. 800NOK the night. The cabins are practical and nicely furnished, including bed linen. Our cottage has bath that was adapted. The immediate surroundings are barren. But in 30-40min to the parking lot of the Preikestolen.

auto-translated: Simple but well maintained campsite. Situated directly on the E13. The sanitary facilities are ok, the operators very helpful and friendly.

auto-translated: Nice campsite. But not at all of this time. 2 toilets and 1 shower for the men. Waiting is the only option. Shower was cold. Dishwashing in a far too small kitchen that everyone should use. So wait again.
In the area is the Preikestole the only real sight and Stavanger. The people are friendly.

A friendly American couple is running this camping. Area is limited in space so it can be a bit crowded. It is situated next to a road, so there can be some noise. Not much traffic though. On the other end of the camping there is a lake that turns into a stream, marking the edge of the camping. Area surrounding this is hilly, green and peaceful.
Not that much to be done nearby, except visiting Stavanger (park the car near the boat, walk onto the boat and you arrive at the center of Stavanger) or visit the pulpit rock for a nice hike and great view.
Just 1 bathroom (shower) for each of the sexes, looking very dated. Same for the rest of the sanitary facilities. 2 spots for cooking, but also this is dated and poorly maintained.
Decent price for camping, but not when you see what you get. Suddenly it feels expensive.
