Advantages
The location is uniquely beautiful. Separate pitches for caravans and motorhomes
Negatives
Some long distances to the sanitary building and supply and disposal station
beautiful place directly on the fjord
For us the most beautiful campsite in Norway so far.
Very friendly reception.
Free choice of pitches.
Pitches for motorhomes on asphalted areas in rows.
Individual pitches for caravans and tents on grass.
Hilly camping site, therefore some problems with WLAN.
Modern and clean sanitary facilities.
Showers... 10 NOK for 5 minutes.
Washing machines and dryers available, very expensive at
70 NOK each, very expensive.
Good view of the fjord from all pitches.
With a bit of luck you may even see dolphins or whales.
Shopping facilities in Sognedal, approx. 50 minutes on foot.

Advantages
Super well-kept and clean place, great sanitary facilities, fantastic location and view
Negatives
Water pressure in the shower somewhat low
Almost perfect
We stayed at the site for one night with our caravan, two adults and three dogs. When we arrived around 3pm, the reception was closed. Opening hours 9-11am and 8-9pm. So we simply looked for a pitch and parked up, registering later. The fact proved true again: First come, first served. We were told that... we should only park on the asphalt pitches as it had rained a lot and the grass was very soft. No problem, we were early and were able to stand right next to the water. From 4 p.m. onwards it became fuller, so that the best places were quickly taken. However, as the pitches are on terraces, even those further back have a good view of the fjord.
The site is bigger than you might think at first glance. At the front by the reception are the tarmac pitches, primarily for motorhomes. A little further along the access road are a number of grass pitches. It almost looks like a golf course, as the pitches nestle into the terrain. Some of them are also terraced. There is also a boathouse.
The pitches (even the asphalted ones) are not completely flat, but if necessary there are boards to put underneath them at reception that you can borrow.
The wash cabins are always a combination of toilet and washbasin or toilet and shower, all unisex. Basically a good idea, but if there is a lot going on, separate toilets could make things a bit easier. Everything was super clean and modern.
There is a nice playground for the little ones right at the entrance. You can take dogs for a walk on the access road.
WLan is available with good strength on site (at least in the area where we stood). Sat reception is also possible.
From the country road you can only hear a rustle, because it is much higher than the campsite. So only a potential disturbance for those who want absolute peace and quiet. But the site is close to the town.
We can only recommend the site.

Advantages
Great location and beautiful surroundings For the tents there is now an extra place further back on the fjord with a nice lounge by the water
Negatives
The extra pitch for the tents has much too small sanitary facilities and a much too small kitchen. We were on the campsite years ago when we camped at the front near the reception and were able to use the huge kitchen there - the comfort at the back is much worse!
Great location, cramped kitchen and not enough sanitary facilities on the tent side

Advantages
The location is great with a view of the fjord and Sogndal. Nice sanitary building with a nice lounge.
Negatives
Fresh water is only available at the sanitary building, the way can be quite far!
Large square by the Sognefjord
The site is spread over several terraces directly on the Sognefjord below the road, which is barely audible. If you arrive early you will find great pitches, and there are paved bays for motorhomes. You can take short walks directly from the site. The site is well suited for excursions to the Breheim... National Park with the Nigardsbre (part of the large Jostedalsbreen), where you can easily reach the glacier tongue on foot. The pretty stave church of Urnes is also nearby.
When fully occupied, however, there can be waiting times in the sanitary building, as the toilet, shower and washbasin are all in one cabin.
Shopping facilities are available in Sogndal.

Nice place and good starting point for excursions
We spent 3 nights here with a caravan. The site is in an exceptionally beautiful location and if you arrive early, you also have the chance of a nice pitch with a view of the Sognefjord.
The site is suitable for a variety of excursions, such as Kaupanger and the Naeroyfjord or the Borgund stave church.... As well as tours in the direction of the Lustrafjord.
The site makes a pleasant impression and the sanitary facilities are also ok, the staff are very friendly.

Great place right on the fjord
The site is located directly on the fjord and is very well maintained. A good starting point for visiting the Nigardsbreen glacier. Very good shopping facilities in the shopping center in Sogndal. The sanitary building has everything you need. Great lounge with kitchen.

Advantages

Negatives
Queue for showers, weak wifi, soaked pitch, water only at the wash house
Enough for 1 night
Luckily we only stayed one night. The grass is soaked although it hasn't rained that much and some puddles have formed. Pitches on tarmac are only available for motorhomes. Electricity is available, water is only available at the wash house. Wifi is very weak and hardly available at the campsite. Although... the site is only half full, you have to wait for a free shower in the evening. The combination of shower / toilet / washbasin may have advantages, but unfortunately also many disadvantages (longer occupied, possibly toilet smell of the predecessor ...) The adjacent country road is easy to hear ...

Top sanitary
Place with a fantastic view
We were right on the fjord with a fantastic view. The pitches are laid out in terraces and are freely selectable. Paved pitches are reserved for motorhome drivers. The sanitary facilities are very good, each bathroom is equipped with a toilet, washbasin and shower. In the morning you sometimes had to... queue for a moment. There is also a lovingly furnished children's bathroom. The kitchen with cooking and washing-up facilities looks very inviting and offers a great view of the fjord. We visited the Nigardsbreen glacier from here.

Advantages
well-kept place with a uniquely beautiful location directly on the fjord, nice cooking and living facilities, helpful staff
Negatives
Too few sanitary facilities when the pitch is full no water connection at the pitch
Great place on the Sognefjord
Situated directly on the Sognefjord with terraced pitches, below a busy road - therefore some noise pollution from traffic. Nice cooking facilities with a fantastic view of the Sognefjord. Unfortunately, there is no water connection at the site, so you sometimes have to walk a long way to fetch water.

Advantages
Super sanitary facilities and beautiful location
Negatives
The road "above" the campsite can be very noisy during the day.
The most beautiful place in Norway for us!
Beautiful location with brand new sanitary building - everything at its best. Beautifully maintained grounds. View over the fjord to Sogndal. Good base for excursions to the sights on the Sognefjord and Sognefjell We also enjoyed this site in 2015. Every year there are small improvements and extensions.

Highly frequented.
Beautifully located and clean place
The pitch is also suitable for several days. Great sanitary building, clean and sufficient. The terrace pitches guarantee a beautiful view from almost every pitch. It quickly gets crowded in the afternoon.

Cabin directly on the fjord
This cabin was our first accommodation on our 3-week motorcycle Northern Cape tour. The cabin was the most basic of all (bunk bed, table, 2 chairs, fridge) but had charm with a view of the fjord. Sanitary facilities and kitchen approx. 30 m away from our cabin. Reception was very friendly and even spoke German.

Super place with a great view on the fjord
Stayed here for 8 days with the caravan in August 2016. Sanitary very clean, however: either combined rooms: toilet/shower/washbasin or toilet/washbasin. Therefore some waiting time in the morning. Paved pitches only permitted for motorhomes, slightly terraced, so great views of the fjord from everywhere.... After consultation with the campsite warden, we booked a helicopter flight from the adjacent meadow, highly recommended! The town of Sogndal is 5 minutes away by car, excursions: oldest stave church in Ulmen approx. 45 min. by car. (with a very small ferry), approx. 1 hour's drive away glacier hike on the Nigardsbreen with guided tour and different durations = great thing!

Super location with top sanitary facilities
We stayed there for five nights with a motorhome and two motorcycles. After initial problems with the parking space - we weren't allowed to stand anywhere because of the trailer ?!. We found a great spot right by the water. The sanitary building is absolutely great and the best we had in four weeks in... Norway. You can hear the road above the pitch but it is quiet at night. Price is great for the pitch. Surroundings very beautiful and varied. Will definitely be back again

Beautiful place right on the fjord
Beautifully situated campsite directly on the Sognefjord opposite Sogndal. Unique sanitary facilities with bathrooms by Norwegian standards. However, too few for the large number of guests. Free choice of pitches, reception open in the morning from 9-11 a.m. and in the evening from eight o'clock. Those... who arrive early have the best conditions for a good pitch. Very friendly site operator. Fresh bread rolls to order in the morning. W-Lan on the whole site. TV via dish no problem. If you are an ACSI member, you can breathe a sigh of relief in the low season and don't have to pay the often exorbitant fees.
