Sommarøy Camping & Marina

This is a remote campsite, i.e. there is no reception. The ticketing system worked well but the problem with such a system is that it encourages neglect by the owner, and there was ample evidence of this in the kitchen where the bin was overflowing, the floor dirty, the fridge unhygienic. The kitchen is small and the seating area likewise with room for no more than four. There is no kettle.
Little thought has been given to the area for tents.
The site is exposed and there is no protection from the wind. In typical Arctic weather, it is unavoidably cold. This is not the fault of the owner but it is a fact of life. If the conditions were warm and sunny, I can imagine my feelings about the site's position would be different since it lies next to a small sandy beach.

auto-translated: Alternative overnight stay on 31.12.2024 (the planned location was not accessible). But was pleasantly surprised by Sommaroy Camping. Apart from me, there were only a few northern lights hunters here. In winter, only the rear toilet and the disabled toilet (with shower) are accessible, which I think is sufficient. The toilets here are also used by the public (small fee), so of course there were corresponding “traces” (garbage cans, etc.) but they were OK.
It's also a great place for the Northern Lights, at least I had a very nice sky fireworks display with rockets here. The barbecue hut was open, but unfortunately there was no firewood to be found.
I would love to come again.

auto-translated: Nice, small CP with transit character. Sanitary facilities in very good condition and clean. Top showers for 10NOK. Level site in a fantastic location on the Arctic Ocean. Very crowded in the evening, as starting point for Senja.
