Sande Camping: The good camping on the beautyful Lovatnet lake

Sande Camping is located by the Loen Lake in one of Norway's most scenic valleys, Lodalen.
The grounds are surrounded by majestic mountains,waterfalls and glaciers. When you get to Loen, you
turn right towards Lodalen/Kjenndalsbreen/-glacier,and drive 4,5 km thru the valley.
Sande camping is a good starting point for both hiking in the mountains and the woods, guided glacier trips and day trips by car

Unique Quality: MEETING POINT FOR GLACIER WALKS: PlusCamp Sande Camping

PlusCamp Sande is now meeting point for guided glacier walks on Bødal glacier. The guides live there the whole summer and you can talk to them and get information about the walk. You book the glacier walk in the reception at PlusCamp Sande or directly to the guide. You can also book the glacier walk when you book your cabin or apartment

Skei Servicecenter, Haugen Camping: At the foot of the glaciers

We came across this campsite coming back from our stay on Runde. It is directly by the road so may be noisy by day but no cars disturbed our sleep at night. As we stayed there in late August we had to get the key to our cabin from the Esso petrol station at Skei about 2 km away but in the high season the arrangement might be different.
We had a tiny cabin but there was a wardrobe, a double bed and we could sit on the verandah. The bathroom was communal but very modern and convenient. I don't remember any cooking facilities in the cabin itself but there was a kitchen in the communal building.
The great advantage was the price - only NOK180 per night, but it is probably higher earlier in the summer and of course larger cabins are more expensive.

Unique Quality: The campsite is beautifully situated. There is a great view of a glacier from just outside the communal bathroom. Take your camera to the bathroom with you. Wish I had done that!
Right across the road there is a caravan site on the lake. You can admire the wonderful scenery from there too.
The place may be a starting point for trips to the glaciers of Jostedalsbreen.

Gloppen Camping og Fritidssenter AS: Campsite on Gloppenfjord

We stayed there for just one night. Our cabin, with a bunk bed but also a low table in the middle and a sofa to sit or even sleep on did not face the fjord but many of the others did. The campsite seemed to be well-organised and the nice middle-aged receptionist (owner?) offered us a cabin immediately. But this was the second fortnight in August when the children in Scandinavia are back at school so the season is practically over. It's a big campsite and might be crowded earlier in the summer. We used communal bathrooms which were OK, larger cabins had their own bathrooms. Of course our cabin had been cleaned before our arrival and we were expected to leave it clean too. We paid NOK 270 for the two of us.

Unique Quality: What I liked most about the place was its location in a forest on the edge of a fjord, a nice area for walks. We were able to park the car right in front of our cabin, which was very convenient for unloading. Another great thing was the turf, or, in this case, more like wood growing on the roof of our cabin, which, like the nice red and white colour of the cabins, left us in no doubt that this was Norway. The place would be great for anglers, hikers and all lovers of outdoor activities.

Blestrand Resort: A Sognefjord Tradition

I didn't stay here - but I hope to return someday. The Sognefjord boat makes a stop in the resort community of Balestrand, where this imposing resort hotel obviously enjoys wonderful views of lake and mountains.
