Bøsanden

Freecamping at the parking area for the recreational area of Bøsanden - One of the natural wonders of northern Norway.

The road down to this freecamp is narrow and with relatively deep wheel tracks. Not suitable for the largest motorhomes. It is not allowed with camping at the parking, but there are a lot of opportunities in the grassy area around the parking itself.  On days of warm and sunny weather, this is a popular spot for bathing and hiking. This is also a perfect place to enjoy the sunset and possibly the midnight sun.

Located at the western side of Engeløya (translates to: Angel island). See also the sidebar under “More Info” for link to other spetacular places in this part of Norway.

Kongsodden

Large area for freecamping at the shores of "Femunden".

This is a popular spot for starting a canoeing or fishing expedition into the wilderness at “Femundsmarka National Park”.

Formed in 1971 to protect the lake, forests, marshes and mountain peaks of the area around Femunden. This 573-sq-km park is often overlooked by foreign tourists – despite the fact that it’s been named one of the three best hiking areas in Norway.

The area, situated between the border with Sweeden and the cities of Trysil and Røros, has 67 mountain peaks and two national parks, Femundsmarka and Gutulia. Hiking, canoeing and cycling hardly become more family-friendly than here.

Flyfishing in the rivers is popular. In addition, there are more than 900 beatiful waters and Norway’s third biggest lake “Femunden”, trafficked by the ferry M/S Fæmund II built as early as 1904. Here ant in other waters you can expect fish species like trout, char, grayling, whitefish, perch and pike.
