What we like about Camp Steinfjord

  • ✓Large and modern rental fleet with 11 rental boats, including a 200 hp Alumarine 760 BF with hardtop and dual Garmin electronics
  • ✓Location next to Tungeneset and Okshornan on Senja's most dramatic west side, with short trips to well-known halibut grounds outside Bergsfjorden
  • ✓Full-service resort with restaurant, sauna and hot tub, sport fishing shop and minibus transport, plus campsite and motorhome pitches

Worth knowing

  • !Long travel distance -- approx. 130 km drive from Bardufoss airport via Fv86 and Fv862 across the Senja bridge
  • !Seasonal operation from 1 March to 1 November -- the resort is closed to fishing guests in winter

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Book the 200 hp Alumarine 760 BF early if you want to fish halibut far offshore -- only one such boat is in the fleet and it is in high demand.
  2. 2Combine fishing days with a drive to Tungeneset and the Bergsbotn viewing platform -- both are 5–15 minutes from the resort along the Senja National Tourist Route.
  3. 3Senja lies north of 62°N, so the cod minimum size is 44 cm and halibut has a closed season from 20 December to 31 March. Check the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries before you travel.
