Fjordcamp today
Josefa Monsen, the founder of Rognan Fjordcamp, was an energetic and creative
person...thoroughly practical and always willing to be helpful to others. It was a
natural extension of her personality, therefore, to begin in the early years of
the 1960's renting rooms, providing camping areas and building the first chalet (hytte).
A well-managed business that retains a friendly and even compassionate
attitude to the needs and requirement of others will grow, so that over the years
Josefa's 'homely' personality created an expanding business. Yet, this business
retained such a practicality about it's homeliness and the level of service that it simply continued growing.
In 1986, now aged 74, Josefa handed the management of the business to her youngest
daughter Hanna. Josefa still continued to be active in some aspects of the business
but age and failing health eventually meant that Hanna's energies and expertise could be
fully expressed and Rognan Fjordcamp, continuing it's tradition of friendliness and
homeliness, expanded even more to meet the growing demand.
Hanna became a mother in 1991 and again in 1993 to two boys and is presently assisted
at Fjordcamp by her man Frank.Hanna has added many more facilities to Fjordcamp and
also has included in Fjordcamp's portfolio the VILLA SJOTUN conference/Kurs facility.
The homely, personal, family atmosphere of Rognan Fjordcamp continues to serve the
needs of so many, from so many different countries, helping them to have a memorable
and fun visit in this beautiful area of Norway. Maybe that's why so many re-visit.
