Our very last stop in Norway, after a whole month on the road, was First Camp Norsjø in Telemark. We got a nice campsite right by the water, washed clothes, had dinner in the bistro and spent a surprising amount of time watching everyone whizzing by and doing jumps in the wakeboard park outside the camper.

After our visit to First Camp Lunde, we continued to First Camp Bø, also in Norwegian Telemark. Here we were met with a completely different type of campsite – larger, livelier and with a clear focus on families with children and activities. We checked in with the camper, played mini golf and took a trip to one of Norway’s most impressive stave churches.

First Camp Lunde also turned out to be much more than just a place to park your camper. Just outside the campsite, the Telemark Canal flows past, with locks, historic ships and a charming lock café.

In scenic surroundings, in the southern part of Norway, lies Åmli gårdsmeieri. Here, Arno and Selma Landman run a living dairy farm with cows, chickens and goats – and a small farm shop filled with local products. We came here with our camper van for a Nortrip overnight stay and ended up in the middle of farm life, among tractors, animals and pleasant conversations.

The fjord landscape was behind us and a new Norway awaited – with open coastal landscapes, bare cliffs, small fishing villages and eventually the white wooden towns that southern Norway is so famous for. We were in no hurry, but let the journey be filled with spontaneous stops, beautiful views and small towns that we might otherwise never have discovered.

When we travel by motorhome, we often try to find places where we can experience more than just a parking space. That's why we booked an overnight stay at Dirdalstraen farm shop, which is one of Nortrip's hosts. It was one of those stops that stayed in our memory – not just for the view, but above all for the people and the genuine feeling.
