One of the nicest and most bike-friendly campsites I've ever experienced. Quiet, plenty of space, charging stations at the tent site, and everyone has their own picnic table. The owner is incredibly friendly.

Very interesting to see, the route is a bit winding, many of the bunkers can still be accessed, a flashlight 🔦 is recommended!!

Spillumsfjellet is a fine summit in the Namsos region. It boasts a glorious panorama of truly wild Norwegian countryside and out to the fjords.

Nice place to camp. However, there is a Frisbee course running through here and in the evenings lots of people come and throw their Frisbees all over the place; this went on until midnight. One of the Frisbee players said that camping is not really allowed here. Overall, I had a lovely evening and a good night here and had nice conversations with lots of passers-by. Knowing that you are not really welcome here, I would look for a different place next time.

Small but nice campsite. Very pleasant and not so much designed for mass tourism. In the service building there is a small kitchen and a comfortable seating area. Away from the caravan sites, there are a few niches for camping down by the river, closed to cars. Including a mobile phone charging station.

Rest stop right on the street. Good for a break, possibly an overnight stay. Unfortunately the street is quite noisy during the day but maybe quiet at night. Meadows, waste and toilet available.

According to a local, the "No Camping" sign further ahead at the barrier is only valid there, camping is no problem at the hut. There is water at the toilet house (closed) further ahead, tap is on the back
