Each entry contains detailed information: address, email, phone number, photos, reviews, price category, number of cabins and rooms – and usually also a link to the official website. All data has been carefully collected and is continuously updated in cooperation with campsite owners and NorCamp users. You can also write reviews, upload photos and suggest new places. The project thrives on the support of its community.
