A special atmosphere of silence, hospitality and good service offers work-life balance, where you can reload the batteries, getting away from it all in a stress free vacation spot.

At Lysø Nature Camping and Cottages we can offer twelve comfortable cottages/holiday houses by the water. You are also welcome to enjoy camping in a tent or park your caravan and rent one of our boats to go out fishing or scuba diving.

Just take a walk around the island. Maybe discover the surroundings by boat. Go fishing and bring back the evening’s dinner directly from the ocean. Relax on the cozy terrace with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and a good book. Take a bike ride or paddle slowly in a kayak. No demands or expectations, just to unwind and do nothing.

Your Norwegian and Swiss hosts can provide excellent service in English, French, German and Norwegian.

It is up to you in which way you wish to organize your vacation or excursions. We have compiled many ideas for you and we are happy to assist you in the planning process of your trip to Norway!

We welcome you to Lysø Nature Camping & Cottages!

KAYAKS, CANOES, BOATS AND BIKE RENTAL

The Atlantic Road is the most beautiful bike ride in Norway! Among the seven finalists, the Atlantic Road named Norway's finest on the bike. Many people have voted, and many have also added comments on ut.no. The trip is about 60 kilometers long, but there are many points where you can start or stop earlier if you do not want to ride quite so far. The trip is not particularly demanding, the landscape is hilly, but if you take your time, most cyclists will have a great experience.

With the Atlantic Road and the coastal path as highlights the trip between Kristiansund and Bud is full of contrasts, and a beautiful experience. From the quiet marshes and forests to the ocean's powerful forces.

We have kayaks, canoes and boats for rent.

DIVING

The crystal clear water and the exceptional visibility makes the area Hustadvika, where Lysø Nature Camping and Cottages is located, one of the greatest diving experiences in Europe. Underwater visibility of 40 to 60 meters is not unusual in the winter, and visibility is generally good all year round. Here you find giant sea tangle forest and numerous wrecks,

Marine life includes various corals, sponges, starfish, shells, crustaceans, fish, etc., and it is not unknown for killer whales to visit the area.

Our neighbours, “Strømsholmen sjøsportssenter” is a high quality diving centre which offer daily guided diving tours during the season. They also rent out diving equipment.
