How can we help?
Teltplass tells you whether you may pitch your tent where you are standing — under Norway's right to roam or CONAF's rules in Chilean Patagonia — and shows the rule behind the answer.
Common questions
How does the check work?
Answer four questions: distance to the nearest inhabited house or cabin, lowland or high mountain, nights already spent at the spot, and the date. The verdict and the rules it rests on update immediately. Switch to Patagonia for CONAF's park rules.
Is Teltplass legal advice?
No. It explains the general rules. Local regulations, nature reserve rules, municipal fire bans and a landowner's lawful instructions can be stricter. Signs on the ground take precedence.
Why does it say "only with the owner's OK" on my third night?
In the lowland and near settlements, friluftsloven § 9 allows two nights at the same place without consent. On the high mountain or far from settlement the limit does not apply — set "Where are you?" to High mountain.
How do I get the warning before night three?
Open a lowland spot in the Spots tab and tap Turn on reminders, or switch on "Warn before night 3" in Settings. If notifications were declined earlier, allow them for Teltplass in the iOS Settings app.
Where are my photos stored?
Only on your device, inside Teltplass. They are not uploaded anywhere and are removed with Settings → Erase all data or when you delete the app.
The official law page doesn't load.
Those pages come from Lovdata and CONAF and need a connection. Tap Try again, or read the offline summary. All rules inside Teltplass work without a connection.
Where can I see whether the fire ban is on today?
On the Check screen with the Norway rulebook selected, the "Bålforbud today" card shows whether the summer fire ban is active, how many days until it changes, and what is in season this month.
Which languages are supported?
English, Norwegian and Spanish. Teltplass follows your iPhone or iPad language.
