Morgedal, Telemark, Southern Norway
A small quiet site by the water at Morgedal, the village where modern skiing was invented.
Morgedal is where Sondre Norheim worked out how to fix a ski to a boot properly in the 1860s, and in doing so turned a means of transport into a sport. The Olympic flame has been lit here three times.
The campsite is small and unhurried, by the water in the valley bottom. Telemark in summer is a walking and paddling region that most foreign visitors drive straight through on the way to the fjords.
Best for: Telemark in summer, when nobody else is looking at it
