Rooms cabins were small - a person taller than 190 cm will find the doorways, and bed too small.
Staff at reception were coarse.
Perhaps it's common for these types of camps in Norway, but we were surprised to find we had to make our own beds (bedding issued at reception), strip the beds, walk trash to back to reception, and sweep the unit.
The view of the fjord was 50% obstructed by other cabins and trees. A walk around revealed that most cabins had obstructed views.
Cabins are close packed, and I heard neighbors on both sides late into the night.
While they might have enough parking for all cabins, some drivers took more than one space, and one person drove around for 20 minutes looking for a space (I happened to speak with him that evening).
Checkin closes at 2000, so don't hike too late.
The price was the same at many of the hotels in town the night we stayed here. The hotels would have housekeeping, similar or better views of the fjord, and most are within walking distance of the town.

The perfect place to rest for a few nights if you are visiting Norway / Geiranger. Waking up to this breathtaking view was beyond amazing. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed. The bathrooms and kitchen are shared with both the cottages and telt campers. The staff was super friendly and really helpful. They offered us blankets, sheets and towels for no extra cost. They are several good spots for fishing and also a place to rent kayaks. You also have your own parking place next to the cottage which was great! Definitely recommend visiting!

Had an excellent stay at Grande Hytteutleige og Camping! The friendly staff and well-maintained cabins, complete with included bedsheets, made for a comfortable visit. It was quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxation. Though the cabins lacked sinks, utensils were provided. The beautiful view and swimming spot in the fjord were fantastic. Highly recommend!

We rented a two-man kayak. If you’re fast enough and nice to the staff you can make it to the Seven sisters waterfall and back in 1 hour and 30 min.
Excellent service and amazing staff!

A couple minutes from the small town Geiranger you can find this campground. The view over the fjord is great and you can see the village, waterfalls and the incoming cruiseships. The facilities are clean, you can empty the cassette toilet, but I could not find a dumping point for the gray water. A spot on the waterside is €7 extra, but well worth the money. My advice: chose this campground instead of the one in the village.

A night stay in the Grande Hytteutleige og Camping represented a very interesting experience. The views perceived when arriving are simply wonderful. We were two 60+ age couples with luggage for a more than a three-week vacation so the accommodation spaces were extremely restricted for a comfortable usage. The low season travel complicated the available options, even for having breakfast, but we were able to enjoy our stay. The service attitude and the rented boat for exploring the fiord represented the great base for this part of our trip.

recently renovated accommodation, with all utilities, well structured and very clean. An excellent view, quiet and the hosts are very attentive to their guests. We felt excellent here and we will come back with love!

Beautiful surroundings and friendly staff. However, it's more expensive compared to previous campings we stayed at (300 NOK vs 250 NOK. Naturally you pay more for such a premium location, but it's not clear from the start that you pay additional costs for each guest (50 NOK per person), making a one night stay with the tent not 300 NOK but 400 NOK for two adults, which does not even include use of showers (you pay extra for every 5 mintues). Plus there was a foul smell on certain parts of the camping site.

Got a cabin here which was one of the only options in the area for places that sleep 4. We really loved this place, mainly due to the location. Cabin had great views of the fjord.
Props:
Outdoor patio (with small table) facing the water. So relaxing
Price reasonable given the location
Clean
Large space
Wi-Fi, parking, cooking equipment all included
Laundry facilities available
Reception has some food and snacks available
Cons:
Do need to put sheets on yourself at check in (they provide these to drive to your cabin)
Clean up after yourself (standards are a little higher than the expectations at Airbnb, but they don't have that stupid cleaning fee)
Coffee machine available, but no coffee
No soap provided
FYI there are several people camping on the premises too
