We drove/ferry from Bergen to Stavanger the day before. Spent the night in this quaint little town. We were told to get to the trail head early - it is about ~ 35 min drive from Stavanger downtime. We were one of the three cars when we go to the parking lot (around 6am). Even the cafe and the guide shop wasn't open yet. It took us ~1.5hrs to get to the rock. The path to the rock is beautiful. The rock formations, the lakes and tarns are amazing. There are some steep areas and some almost flat land walking. Now we are hikers - it can take up to two ours or more if you have't done hike in a while. But it is still worth it. After we got to the rock - we were the 2nd couple to arrive there. We kept climbing further. That took another 2ish hours, again it was worth it. It felt like you are on a different planet and the views are out of this world. It is definitely a must do. Easy to get to, clean trail, lots of amenities available at the start of the trail head. Parking lot is huge. Bathrooms are so clean and lots of it. You can't brush your teeth, wash your hair or take a shower in the public bathroom. Norway does an amazing job of trying to keep is clean -let's keep it this way. Interesting fact - Nepalian Sherpas helped rebuild or improve the trails in 2016, they did a phenomenal job. Highly recommend. P.s - if you are an American tourist ( iam an America) please refrain from loud music, throwing your cigarette butts and garbage along the trail. Norway does their best to keep the trail clean and it was sad to see my fellow Americans completely disrespect the nature and do the things we are unfortunately known for... read more

This place doesn't take reservations ahead of time, but It was quite easy to show up and register on the spot. This place has 10 hot showers which is included in the entrance fee. Park anywhere to setup camp and most importantly only a short drive away from Preikestolen! read more

Preikestolen Camping has actually only one goal: being quick at the Preikestolen Hike the next day for this wonderful route to the fjord. But honestly, the campground is well maintained, I have heard there was a change in management a year ago or so and since then, it improved a lot. I cannot say what was wrong before that point of time, but I can say now it`s a pretty smooth campground. The reception is very friendly, not much to wait and helpful, free WiFi you find there. The ground is quite big so there is plenty of space for any kind of vehicle, tent and everything inbetween. The bathroom/shower-aera looked nice and clean, there are no tokken needed for a shower, makes it comfortable. Though, I am not sure if 3 toilets for men are enough. There are also tables and fireplaces around for comfy evenings with a sip and a chat. The bad side of this ground is the lacking of enough electricity. Only a few electric power supply stations across the campground, never sufficient for everybody so dont bring your battery completely down that day. Ah, there is a spot behind the reception building, a small hill where you can see the sundown, clear and beautiful, stunning and amazing! By coincidence, I discovered this spot and was so lucky; my only sundown in two weeks Norway! read more
