Polarcamp

Sea Fishing in Helgeland 2026

Polarcamp sits by the Melfjorden in Rødøy municipality on the Helgeland coast, about 3 km from the Kilboghamn ferry quay along the Coastal Route (Fv17). The camp has cabins, apartments and pitches for motorhomes, caravans and tents, plus several rental boats with chart plotters and echosounders. Threshold fjords in all directions provide shelter from wind and current, while the deep, current-rich Nordfjorden holds a wide species mix. Polarcamp suits sea fishing, kayaking, hiking and wildlife safaris in a magnificent island landscape.

What we like about Polarcamp

  • Threshold fjords in all directions give shelter from wind and current — safe fishing even when it blows out on the coast
  • Rental boats have modern Garmin chart plotters and echosounders with GPS — easy to find the fishing spots
  • Broad activity offer beyond sea fishing: kayaking, hiking, plus eagle and whale safaris

Worth knowing

  • !Requires a ferry crossing on the Coastal Route (about 3 km from Kilboghamn ferry quay) — plan the trip ahead
  • !Gutting and freezing facilities are not explicitly stated on the website — confirm with the camp before arrival

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Book the rental boat and fishing gear at reception, by email or phone before arrival — the number of boats is limited
  2. 2The deep, current-rich Nordfjorden is a good base for varied fishing — use the sheltered threshold fjords when it blows
  3. 3Helgeland lies north of 62°N — check the tourist-fishing rules for export quota and minimum sizes before heading home
