You’re walking along an idyllic path here, between the woods and the water, and you’re approaching the campsite.

The recommendation is limited. The site is very beautiful, close to nature, and features many good ideas, such as seating areas with mosquito nets. There's a boat rental and a swimming lake, among other amenities. However, given the size and expanse of the site, two showers and four toilets (one of which is at child height) are far from sufficient!

Beautiful campsite just under an hour's drive from Kristiansand. A car with a roof tent cost 350 NOK; shower tokens can be purchased at reception.

Nice campground on the shore of Løyningsvannet lake. It is open seasonally and it offers the chance to park vans and RV, and a lot of space to pitch a tent.
