Here I give a few examples of camping parks in Denmark where we stayed in the summer of 2019. All were clean and comfortable.
Located at the southern end of the Jutland peninsula, this was a great two-nights' stop on our way north. The camp hostess was friendly and helpful. Amenities include a camp store, laundry facilities, and many fishing ponds.
Making our way along the well-maintained drives to find our spot.
It's laundry day. I'm thrilled to have a sunny day to hang dry some items, while Brian goes over maps, planning the next leg of our journey.
Uge Lystfiskeri & Camping is a huge place with many kid-friendly activities including a bouncy pillow, which Brian just had to try.
Located in a wilderness area and at the most northwesterly point of the Jutland peninsula, Hantsholm Camping park offers many amenities, including fish-cleaning stations and freezers to keep one's catch fresh until departure.
Most campsites, or pitches, are on grass and not necessarily level. Tent camping is allowed as you can see in the photo of the sunset.
The land mass on the horizon is southwest Norway's coastline. This huge campsite sits on partially wooded cliffs overlooking Denmark's west coast and toward the North Sea. We hiked down to the beach from the camping park.
Next stop, Skagen Camping, a park a little west of Skagen, which proved a convenient and relaxing spot to plan the next phase of our trip. Located at the center of the peninsula, it is less windy than the beach. The reception staff spoke excellent English. Rain is coming in the above photo.
We purchased bicycles in Denmark, which were handy to get around large camping parks like this one. We grabbed our beach towels and cycled over to the clean and refreshing swimming pool.
Do as the Danes do! We cycled throughout the lovely town of Skagen.
After our loop through parts of Norway and Sweden (see future posts), we returned to Denmark and stayed at this quiet, green camping park.
Gronnehave Strand means 'green garden beach' in Danish, an apt description of this park tucked away in the countryside east of Odense on the island of Funen.
View from our motorhome's door, revealing the orderly campsites with hedges. Tent camping is allowed.
The trail to the beach from the camping park.
A gray sandy-rocky beach sits slightly below the camping park. A pier in the distance allows access via this ladder to the sea.
The beach also affords views of Storebaelt Bridge, which we drove over from the island of Zealand where Copenhagen is located, to get to the island of Funen.
An amenities house with full kitchen is adjacent to the outdoor washing up areas. The managers were especially helpful with suggestions on where to park our motorhome for sightseeing in Odense. View below is of the camping park as we make our way back from the beach.
A delightful surprise nearby - a self-serve field of flowers for cutting. I chose what I wanted and then paid with coins in a box. So fun!
