We have been to Norway again this year, from mid August till mid September. We love to go off the beaten track where we can, evading the main roads, and we have done our bit of 'wild' camping in lonely spots at the end of dead end roads leading to little hamlets, lakes, rivers, whichever. Places where the 'White Giants' don't come (but little VW campervans often end up ).
In Norway such travel often leads you on those typical old gravel roads. Here a short slideshow impression of sites we have camped and roads we have travelled:
A good tip is, wherever there are tunnels (you see them more and more in Norway), to NOT take the tunnel, but look if you can find the old road over the pass or along the fjord. Quite often they are still there and open, and they lead through beautiful scenery. Usually they are those old gravel roads, with little upright stones along the edges. They are not always maintained well anymore, so a little caution is wise. Sometimes you wil find signs that beyond this p0int you will be driving at your own risk, and sometimes roads are closed. But they lead to beautiful (camping) spots, and there is hardly any traffic there!
