Camping in Denmark: Top Sites and Clear Rules

Denmark is a camper's paradise with an excellent network of campsites. However, the rules for wild camping are very clear.

• 🏕️ Wild Camping & Free-Standing:

• Wild camping with a motorhome is strictly forbidden in Denmark. This includes overnight stays in public car parks, at the beach, or in the forest. Violations are consistently enforced. Denmark places great emphasis on protecting its nature, so overnight stays are only permitted in designated areas.

• 🚐 Official Campsites & Campervan Pitches:

• The good news: Denmark has one of the best camping networks in Europe.
• Campsites (Campingpladser): There are over 400 high-quality sites, often in prime locations right by the sea or in nature. Many are very family-friendly.
• Motorhome Pitches (Autocamperpladser): The number of dedicated motorhome pitches is constantly growing. Many harbours and municipalities offer special parking areas for motorhomes, often with service facilities.

On Campcruisers, you will find a selection of bookable campsites and private motorhome pitches. Take a look, maybe the perfect spot for your Denmark trip is already there?
