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.

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 :)
