There's also an art installation that is only open on Sundays that is super cool. You can't take photos in there and really makes you stay in the moment while inside. So if you only have 1 day to see this park make it Sunday.

This is such a beautiful park in Oslo. There are so many different art installations, and they are…read moreall intertwined with the nature. If you are visiting from out of Norway, I highly suggest seeing this, even if you aren't that big into hiking or the outdoors. There is also a sky space and light exhibit that is open on Sunday's, so if you have a choice try and go then between 11:00 and 16:00, no photos are allowed but it's very relaxing.

Langøyene Island - This place was a very pleasant surprise. The island offers a beautiful…read morecombination of a long sandy beach, green surroundings, and stunning views of the Oslo Fjord. I really liked that even on a nice day there was plenty of space to relax. The ferry ride from Oslo is comfortable, and the journey itself is part of the experience. The island is clean, well maintained, and suitable for both families and individual visitors. I also appreciated the coastal walking paths and the quieter spots away from the main beach. A perfect place to escape the city and spend a relaxing day in nature. Free toilets, free drinking water, and everything was very clean. We made a short stop here during our stay in Oslo. The ferries are free if you have a multi-day public transport pass for Oslo.

Øyene in Norwegian means islands, and now you might wonder why they'd call the place islands when…read moreit's clearly one island. Well glad you asked, apparently in the past, this place was indeed two islands, but the part between the two islands was stuffed/filled with trash :D and now they added a grass area on top of it. Anyways, back to the island review: Langøyene is the furthest island away from Oslo. Around 20 mins boat ride from Akker Brygge (across from the Nobel Peace Prize museum). Not really a sandy beach, but you can chill on the grass and jump in the water if you dare :)

A relatively small camping site in the southern end of the Oslo fjord. It is a bit cheaper than the…read moreother two big camping sites near Oslo, but it certainly isn't classy. Closer to the highway than the fjord, a permanent background of low street noise is granted. The site is a good option if you're traveling without a car, or prefer to avoid the high parking fees in the center. Two bus lines, one express line, take you to the center of Oslo in 15-25 minutes. The sanitary facilities are pretty lousy, but you weren't going to stay for a long time anyway. Do take a short walk in the park on the other side of the road where you can walk along the fjord and have a first (or last) glimpse of the city.

Oslo Camping of course! this place was fantastic! A great selection of beers, and 18 holes of minigolf that range from digital holes, to using the furniture as obstacles. It was incredibly fun and cheap, and I hope more people check this place out and review!

I'll give this place a consolation star for the miniature golf, otherwise I wouldn't recommend…read moregoing here. I've been here multiple times, the selection of beer is extremely poor, and to top that they're always out of at least a couple of the options on the menu. I've never come across more rude bartenders in Oslo, it's shocking. Also, don't borrow a padlock to keep your belongings "safe" in one of their bench lockers. All of their padlocks are the same and any key will open any padlock.

Do you want visits from friends and family every note they write fines as ink splatters. Parking guard sitting in his car waiting for new victims. Laughing scornfully of you and creates bad mood. 760, - kr fined. They show no discretion. The guards creates nausea and discussions. Experienced several episodes where guards writes fines even when the car is "running" and people dropping of products to those who live on site. Not much holiday mood. Unfortunately the represent for this place says is okay..... Why not inform about rules? But here is the well commissions and income that are important to them.

I stayed at Bogstad a few weeks ago while I was visiting Oslo. It was a great experience mostly…read more The cabins are very spacious and the beds are comfortable. There are 2 sets of bunk beds, and a table with 4 chairs inside the cabins. There is a good size of open space also. The campground is just a short bus ride away from Oslo, and there is a bus stop right in front of the campground and that bus takes you directly downtown which is great! They sell the bus tickets at the camp office also. There is a gas station and a local store on site, and there is free wifi. The wifi worked only on the first day I got there. It's very difficult to connect to and some people from our group never did get on it during the 3 days we were there. Just a short walk down the road there is a beautiful lake. Make sure you take your own chairs to the lake! It's nice to relax and enjoy time there as it is so quiet! The campground has security walking around quite often to ensure safety of guests, and that all campground rules are being followed - especially noise. It was nice to see. The bathrooms are very spacious and there are plenty of showers, stalls, and sinks, as well as a separate area with shelves and mirrors to get ready/do hair/makeup, etc. I gave the 3 stars because there were several "travellers" staying in the campground who kept coming around trying to open our cabin doors & windows, as well as our bus door & storage. They threatened our group saying they were going to "bash" us. They banged our pots and pans and threatened to steal our food and dining tools, and were constantly just too close to us. We politely asked them to leave us alone MANY times and they simply did not. We then told them to leave and that is when they started making threats. We reported this to the office and there's nothing really that was done that resolved the situation. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay. :)
