PlusCamp Trollstigen
Trollstigen Camping and Gjestegård is a member of the PlusCamp group and set in the valley that leads to the famous Trollstigen or Troll Road that ascends and continues across the peaks to Gerainger Fjord.

There are quality traditional style cabins for hire and more basic camping with extensive areas for tents. There are unmarked pitches for motorhomes and caravans with 14 able to access electric hook-ups. Located in an open part of the valley, the grass pitches afford spectacular mountain views. The central facilities are housed in traditional styled timber buildings with grass roofs. A Troll theme influences signage and decoration and campers and tourists have access to the sale of souvenirs continuing this theme.
