Norway Vang Camping camping area cabins

#100 Ways to Travel A small and beautiful mini camp, only 20km away from Flam on the E16 highway. There is also a camp diagonally opposite it (Gudvangen Camping). We walked all the way from Flam along the E16 highway to find the campsite. Originally, the weather was cloudy and we still wanted to talk about it today. We had to set up a tent at night, but after passing through a tunnel it started to rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier. We arrived at Gudvangen Camping first and asked if there were any cabins. Then we asked about Vang Camping. Fortunately, there were cabins, and the camp owner also asked How big of a wooden house do we need? We adhere to the concept of economy and choose the cheapest wooden house. The Cabin wooden house only costs NOK850, which is a fairly favorable price. Although it has no bathroom or sink, it is acceptable to us. The camp owner also specifically asked us to take a look at the cabin first, and then pay if we were sure we needed it. It turns out it’s really comfortable! There is no need to set up a wet tent when it rains heavily, and there is a wooden cabin where you can sleep on the bed, a heater to keep warm, and a mini kitchen where you can cook dinner. It is really satisfying. And his shared bathroom is very close and very clean and comfortable. So it's not inconvenient. The rain stopped the next day, and we discovered that the camp was actually located in a valley, with mountains on both sides. The camp was next to a stream. We also walked to the stream and stepped on the water. It was really great to play in the water while camping here in the summer. And compared to looking for a camping area in the bustling Flam, we prefer this mini camping area away from the hustle and bustle! [Camp Area Rules]: The check-in/check out time is not sure, and it is not written on the official website. We arrived at the camp site at 19:00 to ask if there were any cabins. We left at 10:30 the next day. The cabins must be cleaned before leaving. The administrator of this room Seeing that we were about to leave, they were specifically reminded to "mop the floor" before we could leave~ ✅Battle Headquarters ✅Sales Department (Mini) 【cost】 Cabin for 5 people NOK850/night (NT.2550), but the service staff asked us if we had brought our own sleeping bags. Since we brought our own sleeping bags, we did not need to pay for each set of sheets (should be for personal hygiene) (Relationship), Norwegian cabins will ask if they bring their own sheets. If you don’t bring a sleeping bag, you can first buy simple disposable sheets online in Taiwan. Although they are disposable, they feel very light and can be used many times. No problem. If you don’t have a sleeping bag, others You should buy extra quilts. There are two sets of bunk beds in the wooden house. There is a mini kitchen without a sink, so you have to bring a bucket to the common area to get water. But being able to cook, eat, sleep and stay warm in a heated wooden house is already super happy. ! This camping area is very mini, but there are wooden houses of different sizes, ranging from 1-2 people to 3-6 people, and the price ranges from NPK600 to 1800. 【Woodhouse Kitchen】 ✅Electric stove (1 mini two-burner stove) ❎Sink ✅Electric oven ✅Quick boiling pot ✅Coffee pot ✅Mini refrigerator ✅Pots ✅Tableware ✅Toilet paper 【Shared kitchen】 ✅Only 2 sinks There are plenty of pots, pans, and cutlery available, but there are no stoves. 【Shared bathroom】 ✅Bath and shower: No coins required Shower head: wall-mounted, non-hose ✅Hair dryer 【Washing·Drying】 ✅Washing machine: Coins are required and the fee is uncertain. ✅Drying machine: Coins are required and the fee is uncertain. We usually finish washing the clothes and check the condition. Sometimes we only dry them for a basic period of time, and then we go back to the cabin and let the heater dry them overnight and they are almost dry. 【Children's play area】 ❎None ✅There is a stream next to it and you can play in the water 【Parking space】 ✅Parking next to the cabin 【Garbage disposal】 ✅There is a dedicated discard area that needs to be sorted 【other】 Outdoor activities, please see the official website for details Vang Camping camping area Nærøydalsvegen 58, 5747 Gudvangen, Norway #Norway # Self-help # Self-driving # Free travel # Self-driving tour # Flam # Fjord # Wooden house # Camping # Cabin # Camping # Parent-child # Camping area

Kayaking in the Norwegian Fjords

#kayak The fjords of Norway are an ideal location for a peaceful yet exhilarating kayak adventure. Paddling through the serene waters of Geirangerfjord, for example, provides a close-up view of dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and lush greenery. The sheer scale of the fjords makes you feel like a tiny speck in nature’s grandeur. My recommendation? Take a guided tour for the best routes and safety, and time your visit for summer to enjoy the midnight sun. #100WaysofTravel #NorwegianFjords #kayak #FjordAdventure
