Steinfjord

Affordable top fishing on the island of Senja
 
Very affordable prime location! 
 
Welcome to Steinfjord! This fishing camp has been around for many years but in 2017 it was completely renewed and renovated. It is located, how surprising, in the village of Steinfjord on the northwest side of the beautiful island of Senja high in northern Norway. The fish camp has a long fishing tradition as it used to be the local fish factory. And that was for a good reason and gives you an idea about the quality of fishing in this area. 
 
Bergsøyan. Here, the nutrient-rich gulf stream flows along the northern tip of the Lofoten directly in front of this perfectly located location for fishing. The fish-rich area in the immediate vicinity is the reason for the location of the old fish factory. Within 15 minutes by boat you reach fishing spots where you can catch record halibut, coalfish and cod all year round. If you study the depth chart closely, you will see that from the west, a great depth pushes the water up to a magnificent and elongated plateau where the food and associated fish can roam perfectly in search of their next snack.
 
Apart from the perfect fishing spots, you are going to experience breathtaking scenery, fascinating wildlife, majestic nature and an abundance of fishing fun here. It is also important to mention with this location that you can hire a fishing guide here. This can be for 1 day or several days or even the entire period. The costs for this are very reasonable and therefore attractive to make use of. And that is unique about this location in northern Norway.

The shower is based on the ground floor. On the second floor is the kitchen and living room, a bedroom and the terrace with beautiful views to enjoy while drinking your morning coffee.
 
The restaurant 
 
The restaurant was recently renovated. It seats 65 people and has a beautiful view over Steinfjorden. The restaurant is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. The chefs use fresh and local produce and the menu changes regularly.  This is the ideal place to end a great fishing day than with a drink and good food in the company of friends? At least once a month, there is also an evening of entertainment at Camp Steinfjord. Here you can enjoy music, local specialities, drinks and entertainment. 
The restaurant is open every day during the summer season, and off-season half or full board is also available for fishing guests.
 
For full board, you get a buffet in the morning with waffles, cereal breakfast, yoghurt, eggs, butter, cheese, jam, etc. For lunch you can choose to make your own from the breakfast buffet or get a soup brought by the chef on board. So you can choose this. For dinner, you get plate service in the evening with a local freshly prepared meal.

Service building
 
There is also a service building on site where you can change clothes, hang up your fishing clothes, fillet fish indoors and there is a large freezer with more than enough space. At the pier, there is also a loading crane to unload crates of fish, if you want to take them with you, and lift them onto land.
