Volounteering at the camping allows you to experience a very special corner of the world that you could otherwise miss. The place is run by a family of Sami origins that is extremely welcoming. Gunn is a kind and caring host, and I can promise to anyone reading this that they will feel at home here, or even better. Work hours are respected, and extremely flexible, without any type of micromanagement. We had the opportunity to go hiking using the owner's car, and we often used the sauna during the nights. I think it's challenging to find a better volounteering than this in Norway.

I wish I had more time to spend here in the camping. Gunn Eliziabeth and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. I learned so much about Sami culture and customs. The group of volunteers here was just as amazing and welcoming. The tasks were different and fun every day. Most of the time, you are never alone, as you work alongside other volunteers. The midnight sun was breathtaking, and the overall atmosphere here is unmatched. I will say if you are here for the summer, please bring bug spray, the mosquitoes can be a little overwhelming 😅.

Gunne Elisabeth and Henriette are fantastic hosts! They are so welcoming and great at integrating volunteers into the day-to-day of their family business. So grateful I had the opportunity to volunteer and would recommend the experience to anyone interested in spending some time in the north!

I spent a month at the camping Motel and had a memorable time. I spent my work hours doing various tasks throughout the campsite, collaborating with fantastic groups of people. Gunn Elisabeth and Henriette were perfect hosts and incredibly welcoming.

I had a great experience. If someone is looking for a place far away from the fast life, and needs his own space to do some own work, and experiencing something different this is the place. When I was there it was a midnight sun which is something really cool to experience. Try to be social and curios, that's what I did, and made friendships for life with the family members and the managers. I will come back for sure.
