Lothepus Camping
Lothepus Camping (Lothepus’ Campground) is the TV 2 series in which Leif Einar “Lothepus” Lothe builds a campground at the far end of the fjord in Odda, Western Norway, complete with a stave church, a Viking longhouse, an excavator museum and a seaplane hangar. Maverix created the idea and format and produces the series, which has run for three seasons on TV 2 and TV 2 Play.
About the series
Lothepus dreams of a campground that brings together nature, machinery and cultural history, and everything must be solid and carry his own mark. The series follows the whole process, from the first ideas to finished buildings.
Challenges along the way
Building permits, budgets, bureaucracy and the weather in Odda keep putting obstacles in the way. A team of strong personalities brings both humor and frustration, and Lothepus’ own leadership style does the rest.
Expedition Lofoten
In the last episode of season three, broadcast in December 2024, Lothepus travels to a roadless fjord in Lofoten to collect an old Porsche tractor from a barn. The drive there takes 37 hours.
Lothepus and Maverix
Maverix produced the final season of Fjorden Cowboys (The Fjord Cowboys), where Lothepus became a household name in Norway, followed by Ekspedisjon Lothepus (Expedition Lothepus), where he traveled with well-known guests. See all our TV series and documentaries.
