Essential Campervan Packing List: Top 10 Things to Take With
Driving License and Documentation: Before you hit the road, make sure you have your valid driver's license and necessary documents, including vehicle registration and insurance.
Navigation Tools: While our campervans come equipped with GPS, having a backup navigation tool or app can be a lifesaver. Consider using apps like Google Maps or Maps.me to navigate the roads.
LOCAL TIP: Use "Vegvesen trafikk" app-this app will help you to build the route, show traffic alerts, rest areas and webcams along the route.
Tool Kit: A basic tool kit can be handy for minor repairs or adjustments along the way.
Layered Clothing: Norway's weather can be unpredictable. Pack a mix of clothing layers that can be easily added or removed as temperatures change.
PRO TIP: Bring your sunglasses and sunscreen, especially if you are planning to do a lot of outdoor activities.
Rain Gear: Don't forget a waterproof jacket and pants to stay dry during unexpected showers.
Sturdy Footwear: Comfortable and durable footwear is a must for exploring various terrains. We recommend having extra pair of shoes with you-weather in Norway can change drastically throughout the day.
3. Hygiene and Comfort
Toiletries: Pack your toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and any personal care items you need.
PRO TIP: Consider bringing your earplugs to block out or dampen any outside noises.
Towels: Quick-drying microfiber towels are lightweight and perfect for campervan travel.
Trash Bags: Keep your campervan clean by packing a few trash bags for easy disposal.
4. Kitchen Essentials
Cookware and Utensils: Our campervans are equipped with basic cookware, but you may want to bring along your favorite cooking utensils and of course food to cook, and it's always the best taste when you cook outdoors!
Reusable Water Bottles: Stay hydrated and reduce plastic waste by carrying reusable water bottles.
Groceries and Snacks: Stock up on non-perishable food items and snacks for quick and convenient meals.
First Aid Kit: A well-stocked first aid kit is essential for any adventure. Be prepared for minor injuries.
Emergency Contact Information: Keep a list of emergency contacts, including local authorities and our Nordic Campers support.
Flashlight: A flashlight or headlamp is invaluable for navigating around your campsite after dark.
Books/Games: Pack a book or your favorite board games to unwind during downtime.
Camera: Capture the beauty of Norway with your camera or smartphone.
Outdoor Gear: If you plan to hike or engage in outdoor activities, don't forget items like hiking poles, binoculars and a backpack.
7. Power and Connectivity
Chargers: Bring chargers for your devices, and consider a portable charger for times when you're away from power sources.
Adapters: If you're an international traveler, a universal power adapter can be invaluable.
8. Campsite Comfort
Picnic Blanket: A picnic blanket provides a cozy spot for outdoor relaxation.
Camping Chairs: Unwind and soak in the views with a comfortable folding camping chair. You can rent your camping chair with Nordic Campers for 4€/day.
9. Your Overnight Camping Guide
Park4night App: Download the Park4night app to find free or low-cost campsites for overnight stays. It's an invaluable resource for budget-conscious travelers.
With its user-friendly interface and extensive database, the app allows users to discover a wide range of suitable parking spots, from picturesque wild camping sites and RV parks to rest areas. It provides valuable information including user reviews, photos, and essential amenities available at each location.
