True Camping Joy in Telemark
Since 1954, Sandviken has been a green sanctuary by Lake Tinnsjøen. Enjoy sustainable hospitality and a historic soul all year round. Whether you choose a cabin or a tent, we are your base for magical nature experiences between the mountains and the water.
A Family History with a Heart for Nature Since 1954
Since the first motorcyclists pitched their tents in 1954, Sandviken has been run with soul and care. Today, the third generation carries the legacy forward with a focus on sustainable hospitality. Here, historic charm meets modern environmental consciousness, perfectly situated between blue-hued mountains and Europe’s third deepest lake.
