A well-equipped campsite with front-row views of the fjord, and there's plenty of space for camping and caravans. The older cabins are traditional and supercute, and there are also fancier holiday apartments that sleep up to six people. You're welcome to help yourself to cherries, plums, pears and apples from the campsite's orchards.
