Quiet Places to Camp Near Oslo
These are my top picks for quiet camping near Oslo. No facilities, no noise — just flat ground, still evenings, and the sound of wind in the trees.
This guide highlights a few quieter places to pitch a tent, all within reach of the city. Whether you're looking for a peaceful night alone or a discreet getaway with family, these spots offer stillness without going far.
What Makes a Place “Quiet”?
For this list, “quiet” means:
- No cars or campsites nearby
- Minimal foot traffic
- Few or no marked trails
- Natural shelter (trees, lakes, distance)
These places aren’t always easy to reach — that’s part of why they’re quiet.
1. A Forest Lake Just Outside Oslo
Reachable by forest road, canoe or packraft, and a short walk — and almost always empty.

2. A Small Island in a Mountain Lake
Requires canoe or packraft. Quiet, scenic, and rarely visited.

3. A Hidden Bay on the East Side
It takes a bit more effort to reach — a longer drive and no marked trails — but the payoff comes with interest: filtered evening light and deep quiet — if you know where to go.
