The layout of the camping is great, very open with lots of space. The cabin was great and luckily pre-heated on arrival which gave a cosy entry. We threw a little BBQ in front and although it was a bit chilly we had such fun making ourselves at home. Chatting with Astrid will last in your memory, she is such an amiable host! Visited Jostedal Camping to eventually visit Nigardsbreen glacier, make sure you book in time because the camping is popular, even late in the season. Besides Nigardsbreen glacier, walk/drive road Fv335 (right across the camping) up until the end and be surprised about another wonderful glacier which can be seen there as well. Will visit Jostedal Camping again when in the neighborhood :-)

We absolutely loved everything about Jostedal Camping. The beauty of the location is breathtaking, our little cabin was so cozy, the common facilities are immaculate, and I cannot say enough about how I adore Astrid. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. We definitely plan to return.

Monica United States of America

Wonderful management and beautiful location to stay. Would stay there again.

Mike United States of America

3 stars doesn't do justice to this property. The cottage we stayed in was a five star. Newly renovated, clean, comfortable bedding with new furniture with a picturesque view. Astrid was an excellent hostess and I can't find words to describe for the services she provided. She was very friendly, helpful and easily available. Local grocery and restaurant is right beside the property. Location is perfect for day trips to glaciers (4km). If you are planning a trip around this area, I would recommend to stay here.

Ali-asgar Norway

Hospitality, location, facilities...everything really!

Gina Ireland

Astrid is very friendly! We had a plesant stay. Good location and we had a nice basic cabin.

Lise Netherlands

Well equipped shared kitchen, very clean and comfortable bathrooms, perfect location. The cabin was pretty basic but it was all we needed after a few rainy nights nights in the tent - it was very cosy and warm, there's a fridge and a hob with two hot plates. The entire camping is very clean and the view over the mountains and the river is beautiful. Astrid was really kind and helpful. There's a grocery store and gas station just two minutes walking from the camping.

Aleksandra Netherlands

Clean room and quiet surrounding. 3 of us stayed in a cabin for 4, so it's very spacious. Like the living room outside the bedroom. The heater was warm enough that we need not use the duvet. The location is just a few km from Nigardsbreen, so we could rest immediately after our glacier hike. The host, Astrid, is very friendly.

Jer Malaysia

The location is stunning, set beside the river in the mountains close to Nigardsbreen glacier. Staff here were wonderful! Very friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.

Jessica Australia

Great location for some beautiful and quiet hikes. The owners are brilliant and so helpful. Highly recommend.

Astrid Gjerde

Astrid Gjerde

Gjerde Camping was built in 1973. I took over the campsite from my parents in 2006 and changed its name to Jostedal Camping. The camp is situated by a glacial river in a quiet and idyllic location just a few kilometers from Jostedalsbreen- and Breheimen National Parks (as the crow flies), on either side of the Jostedal valley. Dal is the Norwegian word for valley and bre means glacier. Jostedal Camping lies within easy reach of all glacier activities in Jostedalen, including guided glacier hikes at Nigardsbreen. Our municipality (Luster) is a unique hiking and skiing area, whether you choose to hire a guide or not. By the entrance to the campground there are several boards with information about the most popular trails in the area, most of them familiar to Astrid. Please feel free to ask for advise. During summer Icetroll offer rafting from the campsite.

I am a dedicated outdoor person who is very fond of Jostedalen (dal = valley) and I love to go hiking and skiing in the mountains here. Due to the proximity of the many glaciers (bre = glacier) around Jostedalen, the snow is often deep and powdery during winter, which I utilize as often as I can. In Jostedalen you can choose between the many marked trails in the area, or go backcountry hiking or skiing, often being completely on your own in the wilderness. In my younger days, I used to travel a lot. At the campsite I often meet like-minded people, being able to share nice memories and experiences, which I cherish.

Jostedal Camping is situated by a glacial river at Gjerde in Jostedalen, only a stone's throw away from Nigardsbreen and Jostedalsbreen- and Breheimen National Parks (dal = valley, bre = glacier). The campsite is an excellent base for skiing and hiking, guided glacier walks at Nigardsbreen and combined glacier and kayaking trips at Styggevatnet. Rafting directly from the campsite during summer. 2,5 km to Breheimsenteret National Park Center and Museum. 150 m to the local Joker grocery with a small gas station and more or less the same distance to the cafeteria at Jostedal Hotel.
