Vennesund camping

WELCOME TO VENNESUND CAMPING ON THE BEAUTIFUL HELGELAND COAST

Vennesund Camping is a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts. We welcome guests from both Norway and abroad who return year after year to fish. Here you can catch, among other species, cod, saithe, mackerel, wolffish and halibut. We have 14 boats for hire, between 16 and 20 feet in length, with outboard engines ranging from 25 to 60 HP. All boats are equipped with echo sounder and chart plotter.

If you have caught fish and would like to prepare dinner or take your catch home, we provide a gutting house at your disposal. Here you also have the possibility to freeze the fish before your journey home.

Vennesund Camping is a year-round campsite with well-insulated cabins. For those wishing to experience the magical winter light in the north, this is a perfect place. There is a wealth of photo opportunities for photography enthusiasts, and the Northern Lights are often visible. If you are interested in birdwatching or bird photography, you have come to the right place – the area is an Eldorado of different bird species, both summer and winter.

We offer everything from spacious fishermen’s cabins and high-standard cabins to a simple small cabin without private shower and WC. We have also acquired 7 simple “mini cabins” in modular construction. These are used when our other cabins are fully booked, or as an alternative for those seeking more affordable accommodation. Here you have everything you need – two comfortable beds, TV, table and chairs, shower and WC, as well as a simple but well-equipped kitchen with hotplate, microwave, electric kettle and coffee maker… If you are travelling alone you pay only NOK 590, and NOK 850 for 2 persons.

In addition, we offer pitches for motorhomes and caravans, as well as ample space for tents.

In 2018 we built a new service building for our guests. Here you will find a fully equipped kitchen with dining area, washing machine and tumble dryer, showers, toilets and a sauna.

The site has now been expanded with several new asphalt pitches for campers, and additional grass pitches. At the same time, some of the cabins have been renovated.

In autumn 2025 we began work on expanding the area by clearing trees. This will make the campsite more open and sunny. Our goal was to complete this work in April/May 2026. Unfortunately there have been delays, but it will be completed as soon as possible.

In connection with the levelling of the area, there are also plans to build verandas on each “mini cabin”.

In Sømna municipality, south of the beautiful Helgeland coast, experiences are endless – summer and winter. Here you can experience both the northern lights and the midnight sun, and everything from silent summer evenings to stormy winter nights.

You can rent a boat and go fishing, or take a leisurely stroll on the sea right outside the campsite. With no traffic jams, and with crystal clear, sparkling water, a stroll on the sea is an experience that brings peace to the soul.

The view from Vennesund camping will take your breath away. Here you have a panoramic view of Torghatten and Vega and The Seven Sisters.

Vennesund camping is an ideal starting point for activities and experiences – or for those who just want to relax. A short walk away is Norway's northernmost Olavskilde, which you can read more about here .

If you like swimming, we recommend a trip to Kvennvika badestrand – a great swimming spot with a beautiful sandy beach and crystal clear water. You will also find showers and toilets here. Read more about Kvennvika here .

On the way to Kvennvika you pass Kystkvinneparken, a park created by the local cultural association. Read more here .

Just before Kvennvika you will find the starting point for Sømna's southernmost mountain hike – Sørfjellet. The hike from the parking lot to the top is approximately 1 km, and the peak is 217 meters above sea level. Here you can enjoy a fantastic view of Heilhornet, Leka and Vega, while looking straight down at Kvennvika beach.

This is just a little bit of what you can see and experience nearby. You can read more about experiences and attractions in Søma here .
