Transportation and parking

  • Bus Drop-Off Information

    Buses may enter the camp area to drop off scouts from Friday, July 4 at 09:00 until Saturday, July 5 at 16:00.

    All buses must first report to Kopperud School for check-in and registration.
    No exceptions – buses that do not check in at Kopperud School will not be allowed to enter the camp area.

    Each bus will be assigned a specific arrival time.
    Kopperud School is located approximately 1.7 km from the camp site.

    The recommended exit from RV4/33 is Kallerud. Please note that there are several non-recommended exits for buses along the route.

    Important: Buses must follow Vestre Totenveg at the Holmbo intersection – do NOT continue straight onto Nye Vestre Totenveg.
    See the map at the bottom of the page for guidance.

  • Cars transporting scouts and personal gear may drive up to GOBB Arena on Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5.
    Those arriving by car will need to walk into camp from the eastern side, near Vind GOBB Arena.

    Arrival address for cars:
    Vestre Toten veg 513, 2817 Gjøvik
    Note: Drop-off takes place on the opposite side of the road from the sports hall. See map furhter down.

    The traffic system follows a "Kiss & Camp" model:
    Quick drop-off of scouts and gear – then immediate departure. Read more about Kiss & camp further down.

    To reduce traffic and environmental impact, please carpool as much as possible. It’s also important that cars from the same group arrive together, if possible.

    Traffic will be especially busy Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, so bring your patience and a good mood!
    Groups with a short travel distance are encouraged to arrive early Saturday morning.

  • Innlandstrafikk is increasing capacity on Route B41, which runs between the camp and Gjøvik city center.
    This bus will operate six times per hour from Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 17:00.

    You can find all departure times at entur.no.
    The bus stop for the camp is called “Vind Idrettsplass.”

    All passengers wearing a scout neckerchief can ride Route B41 – and all other local routes within Gjøvik – for free from Saturday to Friday.

    For all other travelers, the standard fare on public buses in Innlandet County this summer is NOK 10 per trip.

  • Gjøvik is the end station on the Gjøvik railway, a two hour journey from Oslo Central station. Se Vy.no for tickets and departure times.

    The train station is directly by the bus-station, where you can find route B41 which takes you direvtly to the campsite. See Arrival by public transport for more information.

“Kiss and camp”

During arrival on Friday and Saturday, July 4 and 5, and departure on Saturday, July 12, the drop-off and pick-up system at Vind Arena will follow a "kiss and camp" model.

Short-term parking will be available here for unloading and loading gear and people, as well as for check-in. Long-term parking is located at the designated parking areas listed in the overview below.

With 10,000 scouts attending the camp, it’s important not to spend more time than necessary in the "kiss and camp" zone to allow others access.

Parking is located on the opposite side of the road from the arena. It will not be possible to park in the arena’s regular parking lots — only in the orange-marked area shown on the map.

Parking for leaders, rovers, and staff

The camp has several parking areas reserved for week-long parking for rovers, leaders, and staff arriving by car or with a trailer. These parking areas open on Thursday, July 3. Parking is free and located near the city bus stop for Route B41 Gimlevegen–Vind. The Vind Idrettsplass stop is next to the camp.

If these parking areas are full, parking attendants will direct drivers to available alternative locations.

There will be parking attendants on duty during the day on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to help guide traffic. They will hand out a registration form that must be filled out with your name and contact information and placed in the car’s front window.

Parking at Kopperud School is not allowed. This area is used for bus arrivals and must remain clear of parked vehicles.

Drive to the parking area via Gimlevegen/Brages veg.

We have a limited number of parking spaces available at Vind/GOBB Arena for individuals with special needs. These spots will be monitored by a parking attendant during the day throughout the week. Please note that it is not possible to drive into the camp area.
