Kvalnesbrygga


This small campground, 22km south of Andenes, is right beside the fjord. The tiny tent area has soft, springy grass. The main building, much modified, was built by the present owner's grandfather over a century ago and has well-equipped guest kitchens for all to use. The six rooms, each named after a local bird, are simply yet tastefully furnished.
