The New Lothepus Camping, Odda, Norway (2025)

Описание: Lothepus Camping in Odda isn’t your average motorhome site—it’s more like a wild love letter to Norwegian nature, folklore, and flair. Spearheaded by TV personality and folk hero Leif Einar “Lothepus” Lothe, this fjordside retreat brings drama in all the best ways.

Set against the striking backdrop of Sørfjorden, the campground is just a short walk from Odda’s center and close to iconic hikes like Trolltunga. But what really sets it apart is its centerpiece: a 16-meter-high modern stave church, built from scratch to serve as the site’s reception and visual landmark. It channels the spirit of Norway’s medieval churches, while using contemporary materials like stone wool insulation for safety and comfort.

Next door stands a longhouse-style restaurant and concert venue, making the campsite a cultural hub as much as a resting spot. Think timber beams, open fires, live music, and panoramic fjord views.

This place isn’t about roughing it—it's about leaning into a larger-than-life vision where traditional architecture, rock ‘n roll spirit, and nature meet. There are even whispers of future plans that include a gondola, a digger museum, and more.
