Sjodalen Hyttetun & Camping is located next to the beautiful Sjoa rafting river, right off the main road.

Torill and Erik bought Sjodalen Hyttetun & Camping back in 2014, and have run it ever since. They both have a background from the financial industry, and have usually spent their vacations hiking in the Norwegian mountains. Presented with the opportunity to run a lodge in the close proximity to five national parks, they soon decided it was the perfect fit. Torill quit her job to run the place full-time, while Erik commutes back and forth to Bergen, where he still works for an insurance company.
Their aim has always been to create a place with a welcoming atmosphere, great culinary experiences and the opportunity to share their passion for the Norwegian mountains with visiting guests.
Sjodalen Hyttetun & Camping has 12 affordable and charming forest cabins, and 5 fairytale cabins
The forest surrounding the campsite is a mystical place with lots of fun activities
There are several shared common areas available, and hobbit-like “Gamme” (wooden teepee) has its own bar and dining area.
