Sandnes Camping

Alan Rogers Review of Sandnes Camping

Sandnes Camping is located in the extreme south of Norway and makes a convenient stop-off point when arriving or departing for Denmark via Kristiansand. Just off the E39 road next to the Mandalselva or Marna River the site has an open aspect and around 50 firm grass pitches serviced by gravel roads. Two BBQ/fire pits provide a communal focus, as does the camper's kitchen. Five pitches are made available for reservation per day, though extended stays can be negotiated upon arrival.

The river is important for salmon breading, and a licence is required for fishing with a limited catch allowed and restrictions on bait types, more information and licences can be bought at reception. There is a small beach with a floating jetty available for swimming and boat rental is an option.

Several hiking trails can be found close to the site, and basic bicycles can be hired. The site has no playground, but a couple of push-along toys are available for smaller children. Older children are encouraged to make use of the forest.
