Campsite Kautokeino

Campsite Kautokeino, also known as Kautokeino Jakt og FiskeCamp, is idyllically situated in the beautiful landscape of Finnmark – in the very north of Norway. The location by the water’s edge and only 8 km from Kautokeino city centre, makes this an ideal place for those who want peace and quiet, but also easy access to local services. The campsite is open all year round and is suitable for both outdoor enthusiasts and those who want to experience Arctic life in peaceful surroundings.

The facility offers a variety of pitches for campers, caravans and tents, as well as simple cabins for rent. All pitches are easily accessible, and many of them have great views of the water or the surrounding wilderness.

There are service facilities available with showers, toilets, laundry facilities and a communal kitchen for self-catering. There are also designated areas for emptying grey water and refilling fresh water, as well as the possibility of connecting to electricity.

The campsite is child and pet friendly –

both dogs and cats are welcome, as long as consideration is given to other guests. With its focus on hunting, fishing and outdoor activities, this is a perfect stopover for nature lovers seeking a true northern Norwegian wilderness experience. The location means that you can start your day's adventure right from the door, whether it's fishing rod, hunting rifle or hiking boots that are at the center.

Campsite Kautokeino is located right in the heart of the Sami cultural landscape. Just 8 kilometers away you will find the center of Kautokeino, which offers a good selection of shops, restaurants, gas stations and a pharmacy. Here you can visit Juhls' Silvergallery - a unique goldsmith's shop and gallery of Sami crafts - or stop by the Sami Museum to learn more about the region's history and culture.

The area is an eldorado for hunting and fishing. Many people choose to fish in the surrounding rivers and lakes, which are full of trout and char. For hikers and nature enthusiasts, the area offers untouched nature with easily accessible paths and routes. In winter, this is also a great place for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing or ice fishing – and in summer you can enjoy the midnight sun in silence.

For those seeking nature experiences without too many people, this area in Finnmark is completely unique – and often underestimated. Here you can be alone with nature, but at the same time have comfort and facilities within reach.
