Cabin in Rystad, near Kabelvåg

Rystad Lofoten Camping sits at the water's edge on Brennaveien, and its own website describes a quiet, drop-in campsite where only the cabins can be reserved. The site points to the midnight sun over the sea in season, and to good hiking and cycling from the site.

Two units are on Booking.com. The larger, listed as a holiday home of 38 m², has two bedrooms: one with a single bed and a bunk bed, the other with a double; the campsite's own page says it takes four to five people. The studio of 21 m² faces the sea and is described on the website as suiting one or two, with a 120 cm bed. Each has a private entrance, its own shower room and a kitchen area with fridge, stovetop, microwave and toaster.

Campers share a service building with toilets, showers, a kitchen and a washing machine and dryer, according to the site, and bikes and canoes can be hired. Booking.com guests rate the cabins 9.2 out of 10 across 118 reviews.
