Frequently asked questions about Offersøy Camping Helgeland
Which fish species can you catch from Offersøy Camping?
The area has historically produced good catches of cod, saithe, haddock, herring, flounder and wolffish. Halibut and mackerel also appear in season. The boats are intended for fjord and inshore island fishing, with recommended grounds 10-25 minutes away.
When is Offersøy Camping open?
Offersøy Camping operates seasonally from 1 April to 1 October. The winter season and skrei fishery are therefore not covered here. For winter fishing in Helgeland you need a year-round option further north or on Vega.
Can you rent a boat without staying at the camp?
No. Boat rental is reserved for guests staying at Offersøy Camping. You must book a cabin, motorhome pitch or tent spot to access a boat. Contact the camp directly to secure both accommodation and boat together.
How far is it to Sandnessjøen airport (SSJ)?
Offersøy Camping lies 33 km south of Sandnessjøen along Fv17 (Kystriksveien). Driving time from Sandnessjøen airport (Stokka) is around 35-45 minutes, depending on the ferry connection across the Vefsnfjord. Check the Levang-Nesna or Forvik-Tjøtta ferry timetable before you set off.
Does the 15 kg fish export quota apply here?
Yes. The 2026 export quota is 15 kg of fish or fish products per person aged 12 and over. You must also fish from a registered tourist fishing facility and report cod, halibut and redfish catches via the Directorate of Fisheries scheme. Confirm directly with Offersøy Camping that the site is registered before counting on exporting your catch.
