I stayed at Bogstad a few weeks ago while I was visiting Oslo. It was a great experience mostly…read more The cabins are very spacious and the beds are comfortable. There are 2 sets of bunk beds, and a table with 4 chairs inside the cabins. There is a good size of open space also.
The campground is just a short bus ride away from Oslo, and there is a bus stop right in front of the campground and that bus takes you directly downtown which is great! They sell the bus tickets at the camp office also. There is a gas station and a local store on site, and there is free wifi. The wifi worked only on the first day I got there. It's very difficult to connect to and some people from our group never did get on it during the 3 days we were there.
Just a short walk down the road there is a beautiful lake. Make sure you take your own chairs to the lake! It's nice to relax and enjoy time there as it is so quiet!
The campground has security walking around quite often to ensure safety of guests, and that all campground rules are being followed - especially noise. It was nice to see.
The bathrooms are very spacious and there are plenty of showers, stalls, and sinks, as well as a separate area with shelves and mirrors to get ready/do hair/makeup, etc.
I gave the 3 stars because there were several "travellers" staying in the campground who kept coming around trying to open our cabin doors & windows, as well as our bus door & storage. They threatened our group saying they were going to "bash" us. They banged our pots and pans and threatened to steal our food and dining tools, and were constantly just too close to us. We politely asked them to leave us alone MANY times and they simply did not. We then told them to leave and that is when they started making threats. We reported this to the office and there's nothing really that was done that resolved the situation. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay. :)
