Here you will find a small sandy beach with a beautiful view over the lake. Whether as a rest stop or a photo opportunity along your tour, it's well worth a visit!

The recommendation is limited. The site is very beautiful, close to nature, and features many good ideas, such as seating areas with mosquito nets. There's a boat rental and a swimming lake, among other amenities. However, given the size and expanse of the site, two showers and four toilets (one of which is at child height) are far from sufficient!

Beautiful campsite just under an hour's drive from Kristiansand. A car with a roof tent cost 350 NOK; shower tokens can be purchased at reception.
