Facilities and Unique Experiences
- Exclusive Riverside Sauna: Hidden behind the sanitary facilities, you will find our secret gem – a private sauna right by the waterfall. You can rent the facility (sauna, relaxation room, and terrace) entirely for yourself for 3 hours to sweat it out and cool down directly in the refreshing mountain water from the falls.
- Swimming and Paddling in Skredvatnet: The lake is located right outside the camping area. The water is clean, fresh, and perfect for a morning dip or a day of swimming and water activities.
- Grill and Campfire Area: We have built a lovely BBQ area by the water with a hanging fire pit for cozy evenings when the weather is calm (subject to local regulations during the general summer bonfire ban).
- Facilities: We offer free WiFi around the reception and common buildings. We also have 20 electricity hookups (standard European plugs) available for 65 NOK per day.
