KAMPEERMENEER
(1-2-2025)
We recently became a Kampeermeneer campsite! Very cool, we were approached by the manager. Last summer, he received a tip from several readers that Kilefjorden Camping really is a Kampeermeneer campsite and that it should actually be included in the online camping guide. And that is very special, because the manager says he is quite picky about which campsites do and do not fit. He looked at our website and from what he read and saw there, he thought it was a good match and he wanted to add Kilefjorden Camping to the overview of Nature campsites in Norway (added as a country this year). One of the bloggers from Kampeermeneer was at our campsite last year and was extremely enthusiastic. She wrote most of the information about our campsite, so it was great to read from someone else how the campsite is experienced!
We regularly get asked if we have tips for similar campsites in Norway.

Hiring new people for coming season ~ Update: open position has been filled :)
(19-1-2025)
I am looking for a 2nd hand to run Kilefjorden Camping coming season (4-5 months from May-Sep fulltime (5 days/week 8 hrs/day)
Kilefjorden Camping is situated at a magical place along the river Otra in the South of Norway. It is a nature camping with ca 50-60 places where guests can freely choose how, where and for how long they park. We also have 13 cabins in varying sizes which are playfully spread across the campsite. Many guests start and/or finish their roundtrip in Norway at our camping and decide to stay longer because they find nature and peace on a camping run with love. Our guests appreciate the special atmosphere here which is hard to describe, you need to experience it yourself!
In the past 3 years the camping has been gradually growing with new facilities like guest kitchen, dishwash places, gapahuk, sauna & hottub, baking breads, organizing RIB boat trips, kids craft workshop, and also more guests. Now it is unimaginable that in the first season Nita and I did all the work only with 2 persons. The past 2 seasons the team was expanded with paid employees and volunteers.
Since Nita decided to go back to NL, I am looking for a new person who wants to work fulltime on the camping in the period May-Sep.
Diverse task package: cleaning sanitary facilities/cabins/guest kitchen/garbage, registering guests, providing guests with information what to do, kiosk sales, baking bread, wood refill for sauna/hot tub, small repairs, etc.
Experience with camping work is not necessary.
I am looking for you if you are…. eager to learn, service-minded, have eye for the customer (able to see who needs what), trustable, respectful, flexible, pro-active, see what is needed to do, handle hectic periods, speak English and preferably also NL/D/NO, can work in teams and alone, feel excitement and energy for the camping and the guests, hardworking, have the willingness to do just that little bit more ?
What the camping can offer you: Paid job, if wanted food/accommodation (apartment above kiosk) can be offered, nice natural surroundings, diverse tasks, customer contact, nice colleagues, unique experience, opportunity to use camping facilities (eg sauna) and adventures, opportunity to use all your talents and bring in new ideas for the camping, long long evenings in the summertime in Norway (hardly getting dark).
If you are interested, please contact me (Joyce) by sending your motivation to info@kilefjorden.com
