Camper van, campers and converted vans rental starting from Stavanger

Stavanger, the ideal gateway for a camper van road trip in southern Norway, offers majestic fjords, iconic hikes, and winding roads suitable for vans. These three emblematic itineraries, starting from Stavanger, explore the region in 7-10 days, 14 days, or 21 days, with convenient camper van areas and the volcanic landscapes of the Magma Geopark, essential for their UNESCO ranking.

7-10 days: Intimate discovery of the fjords of Stavanger

Start from Stavanger for a 7 to 10-day camper van loop, centered on the Lysefjord and the Preikestolen, one of the most iconic viewpoints in the world according to Lonely Planet. Settle at the Mosvangen campsite near Stavanger to explore the old white and flower-filled district, its museums accessible via a MUST pass for €10 for nine sites. Drive to the Preikestolen for a 2-hour hike offering breathtaking views of the fjord, parked in a camper van-friendly parking area. Embark on a 3-hour cruise on the Lysefjord with Rødne Fjord Cruise from Stavanger, discovering cliffs and Norwegian history. Continue on the Magma Geopark route 44, with its round rocks and charming ports, perfect for van stops on narrow roads. Return to Stavanger via white sandy beaches, enjoying free areas like the marina 25 minutes from the center.

14 days: In-depth exploration of southern Norway

From Stavanger, this 14-day camper van circuit winds through southern Norway over approximately 500 km, including the must-see route 44 from Flekkefjord to Egersund for its sublime coastal landscapes. Start with 2-3 days in Stavanger: colorful pedestrian streets, Viking Museum, and lively port with cruise ships. Head towards Preikestolen and hike to Kjeragbolten, the iconic rock wedged in a crevice. Explore the UNESCO Magma Geopark with its anorthosite cliffs and sheep herds, ideal for discreet wild fishing. Continue to Lindesnes, the southern lighthouse and the underwater restaurant Under for a view of the seabed. Settle your van at campsites like those suggested on the route to Kristiansand, 250 km away, before a Color Line ferry to Denmark if extending your trip. Return to Stavanger via Mandal and its coves, adapting the stops to the winding roads favorable for camper vans.

21 days: Total immersion in the Stavanger region

This 21-day camper van journey fully immerses you in the world of Stavanger and its hinterland, with extensive loops justifying a brief detour to Kristiansand to close with a ferry to Denmark, as on the classic 2-3 week itinerary. Start with 4 days in Stavanger: old Stavanger in bloom, oil museums, and street art in pedestrian alleys, parked at Mosvangen or central service area. Hike Preikestolen, Trolltunga, and Kjeragbolten for breathtaking fjord views, with van parking available. Spend 10 days on the RV44 of the Magma Geopark, volcanic rocks and nestled ports, fishing while bivouacking. Head down to Lindesnes for the lighthouse and Under, then Mandal, Flekkefjord-Egersund. End in Kristiansand at 250 km, boarding Color Line for a 3h15 crossing. Return to explore Stavanger in depth, its events and tunnels like Ryfast, with flexibility for variable weather on these narrow but secured roads for camper vans.
