Camping in Lofoten means jagged peaks rising straight out of the sea, red fishing cabins, white sand beaches and, in summer, the midnight sun. Campsites are spread along the E10, the main road through the islands, many right by a beach or fjord, and quite a few also rent out cabins. Summer, from June to August, is the main camping season, while from fall to spring the islands draw visitors hoping to see the northern lights.

You can reach Lofoten by road from the mainland or by car ferry from Bodø; in summer, book the ferry early. Free camping is possible in some places, but signs banning overnight stays for motorhomes are increasingly common, so respect them and don’t park in passing places. Use dump stations for gray water and toilets, and campsites whenever you can.

Facilities, fees and opening times come from OpenStreetMap and can be out of date. Check with the site before you go. Campsite data: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 · Updated October 3, 2026
