Set in Skarsvåg, Norway’s northernmost settlement, this camping site offers cottage accommodations just 1.2 mi from the iconic Kirkeporten rock. Guests can enjoy scenic hikes under the midnight sun or a boat trip from Skårsvåg’s harbor. With a variety of styles, Kirkeporten Camping offers cottages with simple pine interiors. Each comes with a cooking hob and fridge and some have private bathroom facilities, while others have access to shared bathrooms in the service building. The village of Honningsvåg is 12 mi to the south and has a shop for groceries. Kirkeporten Camping has a small café on site with an à la carte menu featuring local specialties. There is also an on-site kiosk selling basic groceries. Diving tours, fishing trips and other activities can be organized through a partner company. Guests can also explore the area independently, with Nordkapp, the northernmost tip of Europe, just 7.5 mi away.
