Upon arrival, you have 1 hour to inspect cabins, rooms, and sanitary facilities to check that everything is okay. If it is not okay, you must give immediate feedback to us, so that you will not be financially charged at checkout. We greatly appreciate your help in keeping the center in good condition.

I de aller fleste tilfeller vil dette være fra TrollAktiv. Om dere bor på Neset Camping og dere har en siste morgenaktivitet, vil vi hente dere på morgenen sammen med bagasjen og vil derfor be dere om å avtale henting fra TrollAktiv.

Ved frokost smører dere selv nistepakke og fyller termosen/drikkeflasken etterfulgt av middag med dessert på kvelden. Husk termos/drikkeflaske og nisteboks. Skulle dere likevel ønske å lage deres egen mat, vil dere få tildelt et gjestekjøkken under oppholdet. Det er da deres ansvar å holde dette hygienisk og rent.

Det skal være ro kl 23:00. Det til hensyn/sikkerhet for dere selv i forhold til aktivitetene dere skal ut på neste dag, samt andre gjester og vertsfamilien som bor på stedet.

Alle må rengjøre etter endt opphold. Gjelder også for de som bor på Neset Camping. Dette inkl rydding av søppel i og utenfor hyttene og rundt oppholdsstedet. Spør oss gjerne hvor avfall stasjonen er på plassen. Dersom dere ønsker kan dere bestille rengjøring fra kr 300,- pr hytte og kr 1000,- pr hus/leilighet.
