Alan Rogers Review of Gryta-Camping
Gryta Camping is located right at the edge of Lake Olden, between the fjords of the Jostedalsbreen National Park in the west of Norway. 10km from the site lies the Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on the European mainland. The site is located between various glacier tongues, and there are numerous small rivers nearby. One of these streams flows across the site and feeds into Lake Olden. The site has 120 grass pitches, of which 80 are for touring units, and it has 16/10-amp hook-up points. There are also five bungalows or log cabins available to hire. While staying here, you are guaranteed breath-taking views of the lake and the surrounding fjords.
If you want to explore the lake, rowing boats and canoes can be rented (free of charge) from the reception. The lake is excellent for fishing, too. The Norwegian summers are not particularly hot, but should the sun manage to raise the temperature of the water, you can also go for a swim. There are several picnic tables and a communal barbecue along the water's edge. Quite often, a large bonfire is lit, and the day's catch is eaten.
The Reception has a daily bread service. Order the night before and they will be ready to collect the next morning. In addition, they sell ice cream, soft drinks, coffee and basic goods. Also at reception, there is a living room with a sofa, TV, various board games and its own book exchange corner.
