Håvestøl nature camp is a small, simple campsite without electricity and water and is nicely located by a small stream with a nice view of Sletafjell and has scenic surroundings while being a short distance from the road. We live by nature's premises. We want to keep it simple and are not a 5-star hotel. The place is well-suited for nature-loving people who want to have a little time out from the busy everyday life.

There tends to be quite a bit of snow at the camp, so it is possible to have snow activities in winter.

The parking lot will be plowed.
