At the moment, Hadselhallen has a lot of room, but we reserve the right to regulate the area sizing dependent upon the volume of incoming bookings closer to the event.
Q: Where is Camp TAR located?
A: Camp TAR is located at the same "island" that The Arctic Run takes place, Hadseløya, at Hadsel Flerbrukshall - an indoor facility featuring artificial turf.

A: Absolutely! Your space is completely yours to design and decorate however you wish (feel free to express your creativity, as long as it doesn't disturb others or ruin the artificial turf).
Q: Are there any restrictions on decorating or setting up my camping area?
A: Yes. Since the space is on artificial turf, it is not permitted or possible to use any fixtures that involve hammering or nailing into the ground.

A: Yes, we encourage all guests to bring their own sleeping bag, regardless of whether you choose the camp bed option or not.
