You will agree that North Jutland really does have some of Europe's best camping & caravan sites the very second you arrive. Sites in North Jutland are far from the massive "canvas colonies" with just a foot between you and the nearest neighbour and a brisk 3 km hike to the nearest conveniences.

In fact, they are just the opposite - spacious havens that are never so big that you will not get to join in with the happy and helpful Danish holiday makers.

Locations to die for

You will find camping and caravan sites in the prettiest spots in North Jutland – two-thirds are in fact so close to the water's edge that you are only a few feet away from a refreshing dip in the sea.

Alternatively, you could of course choose a site in a tranquil woodland setting or in the immediate vicinity of one of the attractive market towns. Wherever you go, you will not just be met with service and friendliness second to none; you will also be impressed by how clean and tidy the sites are and by the spaciousness.

In North Jutland, camping is prohibited on streets and roadways, in parks and woods, on beaches and car parks. No matter how you travel - with a tent, a campervan or a caravan - you are only allowed to stay at officially approved sites - but remember, you get a whole lot of fun thrown in with these! All you actually need is a camping carnet.

Finding a site

You can look in the reference book “Camping Denmark” where all classified camping sites are listed. The book costs DKK 95/€ 12.70 and is available from camping sites, local tourist offices or book shops.

Wide range of choices

Every one of North Jutland's many approved camping and caravan sites has been classified to indicate that they meet various requirements. They are awarded 1 to 5 stars, 5 stars for deluxe sites and 1 star for more basic ones.

At many sites, you can rent either a tent or a caravan, but for those who prefer to stay in a "proper" house but still want to have a camping holiday - a cabin will definitely fit the bill!

All cabins is classified and there is a cabin to suit all budgets and tastes - from the well appointed to the more spartan, but the cabins are always attractively and comfortably equipped..

More and more people have come round to the idea that camping and caravanning is not just for the summer months.

Each season has its own special charm, and what better place to enjoy it than on a camping & caravan site - with beautiful scenery all around. Many sites are open all year round, so you need not be held back by the changing of the seasons.

Whether you want to just chill out in laid-back surroundings, or prefer an action-packed holiday, a camping site in North Jutland is definitely the ideal setting.

Everything is well organised and the toilet and shower facilities are always excellent. Shopping is easy: the site will either have its own grocery shop or there will be shops just a short distance away.
Security is also well organised. If the site has 3 stars or more, there will be 24-hour security and the site entrance will be closed by a barrier from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Is it surprising that children love camping and caravanning? The camp will be milling with playmates, and there are endless things to do: football pitches, playgrounds, bouncy castles, crazy golf and sometimes swimming pools.

Add to all this, the countless activities that camping sites arrange for the kids. Ranging from competitions, pony rides, kite flying, and football tournaments to guided nature trails - in fact, there is no end to what they come up with to keep the youngsters happy!
