Do you wish to observe dancing northern lights in winter? What is a better way to wait for them to appear than waiting in a campervan?! Ski from a campervan to campervan during the day, enjoy a sauna in the evening and wait for the aurora in the night.
Winter camping in Norway
Our campervans
It was winter 2019 when our first winter guests booked the trip in February, the extremely cold month. Back then in Lofoten, we prepared a lot of extra blankets so the guests would feel comfortable in freezing temperatures inside the camper Marco.
Happily, the reality was the exact opposite – nothing extra needed. Only ordinary sleeping bags that we provide and heater on. Winter camping in Norway approved! Insulation works well and the heater can be quite strong, so there is no worry anymore about camping even in the lowest temperatures.
All our campervans available in winter are insulated and have independent heaters to keep you warm. Also, for your safety, winter tires, some of them are even studded.
Camping
Winter camping in Norway might be a bit more adventurous than in summer. One needs to look for a spot before it gets dark, which is much earlier than in summer. On the other hand, it still has lots of benefits why you should try it out.

Winter adventures to do in Norway
Of course, summer might be the most comfortable for camping, but who wins in regard to adventures? Winter or summer?
Winter brings so many opportunities that you can’t experience in summer. Places are not crowded anymore, they belong only to you at the moment. Wait for aurora borealis to appear above your heads while waiting inside the heated campervan. Such a luxury! In the day it’s time to explore the white mountains around you. Park under the mountain and ski from-to campervan. Another thing you must do is dog sledging! Huskies love to run as a team – visit them and provide them with this pleasure.
