Some are in Norwegian only, but I think you'll figure it out.
Some are for Oslo, some for Norway, some for all types of places to sleep, some are usefull for a lot of things for a tourist.
You may put up your tent in the woods or not too close to houses, ''utmark'' is the word for the type of nature/place you can do that. That means the owner don't mind if you stay there for a night or two, it looks like wilderness - not a lawn, not a campsite so there is no toilet/shower.
You may NOT make a bonfire or light anything outside in the summer. If you really want to make a hot meal, please bring a primus or simular.
If there are no signs of your tent or that you was there one day after you left, then you have treated the nature well.
Often there is the same prize for a hytte (cabin at a campsite) and a B&B - call and find out for the place you want to stay at.
A hytte may be expencive for one person, but OK for two or more.
Most people in Norway have holiday in July and first halfes of August.
School holiday is from late June to ca.15 august.
Many campsites are closed early in May, and closes early September.
Many roads in Norway are closed in May - waiting for the spring!
In August we have Norway Cup in Oslo; it's a football cup for kids, thousands of people, perents, and players from many countries are coming. The campsite Ekeberg is booked for Norway Camp each year.
Have fun!
Liv.
