The trend of glamping, or luxury camping, is attracting an increasing audience whose content is not always predictable. Single backpackers and adventure seekers are not its only fans.
Increasingly, couples with children are seeing glamping as a holiday experience for the whole family, and therefore the sector is developing ever more child-suitable features.
Future generations are not seen as an add-on in Norway, as the national investment in education demonstrates. Here young people and their guardians are cherished, and can expect to be treated accordingly.
Family vacations can create magical moments meant to last a lifetime. Forging connections with our nearest and dearest, away from our hectic daily schedules, imprints in us indelible memories we will forever cherish.
Personal memories which also belong to the whole family have a charm all of their own, and glamping in Norway is one of the best ways to create them.
Glamping is the perfect way to blend nature’s wonders with the safeguarding of tenderfoot explorers during their adventure-filled days under endless summer skies.
The wide variety of plush sites now available, equipped with essential amenities whilst being located in magnificent surroundings, offers fun for people of all ages as they discover Norway’s diverse landscapes together.
WonderInn in particular has a wide selection of properties to choose from. These selections rank amongst the best options tailored to traveler families.

3. Eden Eco Camp Lofoten
Eden Eco Camp keeps sustainability central in its design choices, like solar showers, whilst focusing fun around its connection with Lofoten’s epic landscapes.

Based in a reindeer sanctuary near Tromsø, kids delight in waking up amongst the roaming reindeer herds whilst nestled inside cozy Sami-inspired tepees in their comfy beds tucked under warm blankets.

5. Bubbledays Camp Finse
At an altitude of 1,222 meters, the Hardangervidda Plateau provides wide expanses of open tundra which are perfect for children to burn off energy in under the midnight sun.

They can also arrange dog sled excursions across the treeless plains once autumn’s colors arrive.
6. Sæter Cozy Cabins
With vibrantly painted exteriors which kids adore, these countryside accommodations deliver spacious interiors for the whole family to spread out in. Toddlers relish tending the private garden patches, while tweens can safely bike the nearby trails down to a glistening lake, where they can go skinny dipping when parents permit.

Situated below the awe-inspiring massif of the Slogen Mountain as it plunges into the Hornindalsvatnet Lake, little ones delight in being able to enjoy epic scenery at this site without venturing far from their plush bell tents.

Outfitted in traditional Nordic style, these wilderness lodges allow families to select private or shared bathrooms to achieve the desired levels of togetherness.

Sitting pretty atop the hillsides overlooking the Geirangerfjord, parents swoon over the Adirondack chairs here, which are designed to provide uninterrupted views of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, while kids admire the funky dome architecture sheltering cozy beds.
