Plan your camper trip from Tromso – find your ideal camper in minutes

Road Genius compares campervan rentals across Norway so you can pick the right vehicle before you arrive in Tromsø or nearby airports like Oslo Gardermoen and Bodø. Tromsø sits above the Arctic Circle, offering midnight sun in summer and Northern Lights in winter, so plan your timing carefully.

When to go Camping in Tromsø

Period	Avg High °C/°F	Good time?

Driving Tips

Speed limits: 50 km/h (31 mph) in towns, 80 km/h (50 mph) on most rural roads unless signs show higher limits.
Headlights must stay on day and night, even in summer.
Norway uses the AutoPASS electronic toll system. Foreign license plates are recorded automatically. You can register online or expect an invoice by mail.
The legal blood-alcohol limit is 0.02%. Police enforce this strictly.
Winter tires with studs are common from November 1 to April 15. Carry snow chains if you drive on inland mountain passes.
Many fjord roads are narrow with passing areas for oncoming traffic. Give way to larger vehicles driving uphill.
Fuel stations can be 100 km apart outside the city. Fill up your tank before driving to Senja or Lyngen Alps.

Mosquitoes are worst in July and early August near lakes. Pack insect repellent.
Dispose of gray water and black water only at official "tømmestasjon" disposal points. Fines apply for illegal disposal.
Weather changes quickly. Wind gusts over 20 m/s (45 mph) are common on bridges. Check the Vegvesen traffic app before crossing.
Emergency numbers: 112 police, 110 fire, 113 medical.
If wild camping, stay at least 150 meters (500 feet) from the nearest building and leave no trace.
