How spectacular are these surrounds? And things are even better if you've got the offspring with you, as Eastern Norway's Birkelund Camping has loads to keep busy – think playground, sandpit, trampoline and space aplenty – while you sink into the more grownuply pursuits on site like steaming in the (free) sauna.
Activities for all sizes are simply sorted from here: Birkelund Camping is in the area surrounding the mountain village of Hovet, in a land of traditional mountain farming and outdoor activities: you must have a go at the hiking and cycling around here... A fishing pond and a lake are both within half a kilometre of the site; climbing is nearby, and winter sports are available at Hovet and Hol three kilometres away.
There are loads of facilities for all ages on site, including a volleyball and badminton court, table tennis, a pétanque court and a playground with swings, slide and sandpit. There's also a small outdoor pool, set like the rest of the site among green and splendid mountain views.
The two amenities buildings are heated: one has ladies' and gents' showers, toilets and sinks, and the other has toilets, shower cubicles and a nursing room, along with a guest kitchen with benches, crockery, a microwave, two dishwashers and a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Also on site is a kiosk with water point, a worktop for cleaning vegetables and fish, and a communal firepit area with table and benches.
