Camping in Norway is a unique and unforgettable experience, but it's important to be prepared before you go. With its unpredictable weather, rugged terrain and remote locations, Norway can be a challenging place to camp. Here are some essential items you'll need to bring to make sure you have a safe and comfortable camping experience in Norway.


  1. Warm and waterproof clothing: Norway's weather can be unpredictable, so it's essential to have warm and waterproof clothing. Make sure to pack layers, including a waterproof jacket, fleece, and insulated pants. Also, bring a hat, gloves, and warm socks to keep yourself warm and dry.
  2. Camping Tent: A good quality camping tent is a must-have for camping in Norway. Make sure to choose a tent that's suitable for the weather conditions and the number of people that will be using it.
  3. Sleeping Bag: A good quality sleeping bag is also essential for camping in Norway. Make sure to choose a sleeping bag that's suitable for the weather conditions and the season in which you'll be camping.
  4. Stove and Cooking Equipment: Camping in Norway means cooking your own meals, so make sure to bring a stove and the necessary cooking equipment. A camping stove, pots, pans, utensils, and a cooler are the basic items you'll need. Don't want the hassle of bringing it all the way to Norway? Rent it from us!
