Onboard their brand-new Hero Camper, Louise and her family managed to improvise a trip through the wilderness of the Norwegian mountains – filled with hiking and great nature experiences for the whole family.
“Our plan was – there is no plan”.
Explains 41-year-old Louise Sevelsted from Roskilde, Denmark about the summer holiday in Norway and Sweden, which she – along with her husband Frederik and their two boys, Betram (aged 12) and Oskar (aged 8) – took in their brand-new Hero Camper in the summer of 2022.
However, they had agreed on two things. The journey was to start in the adventurous Lofoten in Northern Norway and continue the journey as long, as it made sense. When they could not be bothered to continue anymore, they were to return home.
The first leg of the holiday was about 1,700 km from Oslo to Lofoten. On their first night up north, the family spent the night on a campsite south of Trondheim, where the plan started getting of track.
”We are not at all campsite campers with a preference for fenced and designated pitches. We love outdoor living, preferably just us in the wilderness, but we ended up at a campsite anyway, as we could not find anything else near Trondheim”, says Lene Sevelsted.
At the campsite, the family learned that the Norwegian weather in July 2022 was not at all typical summer weather.
Subsequently, after a very cold and wet night, where both Oskar and Betram had a very cold sleep on top of the Hero Camper, and, with a five-day weather forecast pointing towards more rain and dropping temperatures, the family decided to scrap reaching Lofoten and changed course towards the mountains with a warmer climate.
”We had a bit of a crisis on this first night. After all, we had been talking about and planning our summer vacation for quite some time, and we had to swallow the bitter pill that we would not make it to Lofoten. But fortunately, we were able to change our plan, as this is possible with the Hero Camper, and so we did something else instead”, says Lene Sevelsted, who is Sports Teacher at Roskilde 10th grade Center.
The Hero Camper offered the freedom to go anywhere. No restrictions. Every day offered a new adventure, amazing sceneries, and family-friendly hikes that neither parents nor children will ever forget.
They used the Park4night-app along with their experiences from previous trips to both Norway and Sweden to find off-grid campsites in the wild, where the family could park the Hero Camper, set up the hammock and find peace.
