Go wild camping

Wild camping is one of the greatest ways to explore the magnificent environment that Norway has to offer, and it is a favorite activity among both Norwegians and foreigners. Not only do you receive a one-of-a-kind experience, but it's also absolutely free. Norway's 'freedom to wander' allows wild campers to visit its beaches, mountain ranges, and national parks. Pitch your tent under the stars, surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes on the planet. The freedom that comes with wilderness camping comes with responsibilities: don't camp too near to dwellings, obey any fire regulations, and abandon your campsite as if you'd never been there.

When it comes to putting up a tent in the wilderness, the fundamental guideline is to keep the tent at least 150 - 200 meters away from the nearest cabin or house where people dwell. You must also put up your tent on what is called utmark, which may be translated as "unfenced territory". So, keep away from gardens, fields, farms, and other places where there is activity and instead go into the woods. You are only permitted to spend two nights in the same location. So you'll need to relocate your camp and tents after two nights. There is no specific rule regarding how far you must relocate, but the common consensus is that you must move at least 50 meters away. It is also common to remain for more than two nights if you are remote from civilization (aka in the middle of nowhere). No one will mind if you remain for a week or two as long as you don't bother anyone.
