Getting to
Nærøyfjorden caming

The drive to Bakka is more than just transit - it’s the beginning of your escape. As you leave Gudvangen and pass through the tunnel, you leave the crowds behind. Waiting on the other side is the silence of the UNESCO landscape. Take your time, drive slowly, and enjoy the view as the road hugs the fjord.

  5. After the tunnel, simply follow the road along the fjord until you see the camping reception on your right.

 

The Road to Bakka

The drive from Gudvangen to Bakka is a classic Western Norwegian experience - incredibly beautiful, but narrow. Here is what you need to know for a stress-free trip:

  • Meeting Points: The road is single-lane but features frequent passing places marked with a blue sign and a white "M".

  • Look Ahead: Keep your eyes up. If you see a car approaching, stop at the nearest "M" point to let them pass.

  • Do Not Park in Meeting Points: These must be kept clear for traffic to flow smoothly.

  • Large Vehicles: The road is fully accessible for campervans and larger vehicles (trucks drive here weekly). However, remember that you are wider than regular cars - please drive slowly and be considerate.

Local Tip: "Take your time. There is no need to rush here. The drive is part of the World Heritage experience."

 

Without a Car? (Public Transport & Arrival)

Nærøyfjorden Camping is best experienced by car or campervan, but there are options for the adventurous traveler.

To Gudvangen: There are frequent buses (Vy/Nor-Way) and boats (Fjord Cruise) to Gudvangen from Flåm, Voss, and Bergen.

  • The Last Leg (Gudvangen - Bakka):

    • Taxi: Can be arranged from Aurland/Flåm (must be booked in advance).

    • On Foot: It is a beautiful but long walk (approx. 5 km) along the fjord if you are traveling light.

    • No Scheduled Bus: Please note that there is rarely a public bus running all the way to the campsite itself.

 

Parking & Check-In

  • Upon arrival, look for the sign marked "Resepsjon / Innsjekk".

  • Have you booked via Campio? Your spot is already reserved and waiting for you.

  • We ask that all vehicles are parked in designated areas to preserve the peace and the view for all our guests.

  • Public parking is also available, a few hundre meters further out than our campsite.
