About
Experience summer idyll at the beach at Telnessanden Camping
In the heart of beautiful Telemark, by Lake Seljord (Seljordsvatnet), you’ll find Telnessanden Camping—home to one of the finest beaches in the region.
Here, a shallow, family-friendly sandy beach awaits, with soft sand and clear water that reaches pleasant summer temperatures. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing day in the sun—whether you want to swim, sunbathe, build sandcastles, or simply enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings.
The beach is surrounded by pine forest and green hills, creating a cozy and sheltered atmosphere. With a short distance to a kiosk, sanitary facilities, and campsite amenities, everything is in place for a comfortable experience for visitors of all ages.
You can spend a full day here with family and friends—rent a canoe or other boats, play mini golf, beach volleyball, badminton, or football, or simply relax and listen to the gentle waves lapping against the shore. There is also a playground for younger children.
A kiosk, fast-food outlet, and modern sanitary facilities at the campsite make it easy to enjoy the entire day at the beach.
Getting there
You can reach Telnessanden by driving along the southern side of Lake Seljord.
