Search for campsites in the Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands are an archipelago off the northern coast of Norway, located about 400 kilometers above the Arctic Circle. Surprisingly, the climate here is milder than you might expect, thanks to the Gulf Stream and its extensions—the North Atlantic Current and the Norwegian Current—which bring relatively warm water to the Norwegian coast. The villages of Røst and Værøy are among the northernmost places in the world where the average temperature does not drop below freezing. Lofoten is renowned for its breathtaking natural scenery, featuring dramatic mountains, sharp peaks, hidden bays, beautiful beaches, and open sea views. The islands have been inhabited for at least 11,000 years, with archaeological discoveries dating back 5,500 years. Lofoten is especially famous for its fishing industry, particularly cod fishing. Each winter, cod migrate from the Barents Sea to the Lofoten Islands to spawn, and you’ll often see racks across the islands where fish are left to dry. Read more

Camping in the Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands offer a range of camping options, making it ideal for those who want to explore and move around—a highly recommended way to experience the area. If you’re not travelling with a tent or caravan, you can also rent one of the iconic red fishermen’s cabins. Lofoten is easily accessible by boat, with ferry routes from Bodø to Moskenes and from Svolvær to Skutvik. Alternatively, the scenic E10 road connects the islands with the Norwegian and Swedish mainland, making travel by car simple and picturesque. The pace is relaxed—perfect for soaking up the stunning views!

What to See in the Lofoten Islands?

The true highlight of Lofoten is its breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds you at every turn. From mid-May to mid-July, the sun barely sets, creating long, light-filled days. In contrast, from early December to early January, the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon, leaving the islands in darkness. However, from October to March, you have a good chance of witnessing the magical Northern Lights.

Lofoten is also a fantastic destination for an active holiday. There are challenging hikes to mountaintops—though not all trails are clearly marked—along with opportunities for rock climbing, swimming, and mountain biking.

Here are some attractions that are definitely worth a visit:

Lofoten Viking Museum

This museum in Borg takes you back to the Viking era. Here you’ll find the largest house discovered from that period, which has been restored and now serves as a fascinating museum. The building is an impressive 83 metres long!

Whale Safari

You can join an organised tour to spot whales. Seeing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience!
