History

Gullesfjord camping began cautiously in 1959 – with a café and two small, woodstove-heated cabins. At the time, access to and transport in the fjord was by boat only.

When the main road was completed in 1964, the facilities were gradually expanded with several cabins and a sanitary building. Overnight accommodation was also added to the building housing the café.

In 1994, the main building was destroyed by fire. Following a lengthy rebuilding effort, the café and the new sanitary building were completed in 2003.
