Time to Pitch Up, Pitch a Tent, or Park!
With only the best of the best that Lofoten has to offer in our guide, there’s no excuse for you not to start planning that trip and go camping in Lofoten, Norway. If you’d like to go the traditional camping route, you’re welcome to bring your own equipment and gear or buy them from our various outdoor outlets here in Norway.

But whatever works for you, it’s clearly time for you to pitch up, pitch a tent, or park in the breathtaking Lofoten in Norway!
