small but nice

Erwin Bootsmann

small pitches, used by many for only 1 day. Arta must be visited. The church, the museum with the famous rock drawings and the ski jump. With the MTB, you can explore the area very well. It's not far to the canyon, but the hike is quite challenging. A visit to the restaurant opposite the campsite is a must to enjoy the dishes of the Sami.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Alta River

What is the terrain like and where are the pitches located?

The terrain is idyllically situated between the road and the Alta River. You can expect meadow and gravel pitches with little vegetation, which are perfect for caravans, motorhomes and tents. Due to its location right by the river, the campsite is a real dream for anyone who loves the water.

Is it possible to rent a private bathroom at the campsite?

Yes, that is not a problem at all here! If you want a bit more privacy on holiday, you can book one of 6 rentable sanitary cabins. This means you have your own bathroom all to yourself and do not have to share it with others.

What does the campsite offer for anglers and water sports enthusiasts?

Since the site is located directly on the Alta River, you are in the right place if you like fishing or boating. There is a boat rental directly on site, so you can easily head out onto the water. After an active day on the river, you can warm up wonderfully in the on-site sauna.
