Summary created out of 133 reviews

Vestbirk Camping is set in a beautiful natural environment with forests and water, and is praised for its friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Guests particularly appreciate the swimming pool with slide, the many animals on site (deer, goats, rabbits), and the modern, clean sanitary facilities. The campsite offers various amenities including canoe rental, playgrounds, a camping shop with bread service, and a grill serving good meals. However, there are complaints about unclear communication upon arrival (especially for non-Danish speakers), variable pricing that can be on the high side, and playground equipment that sometimes needs maintenance.

    A lovely place—our grandchildren enjoyed it, and so did we older folks 🤣
    But it’s kind of funny to see how a group of guests (not just at this campground)permanent residents take up so much space and dominate the scene
    Some of them have a bit of that 70s/80s Mallorca vibe

    But it’s a wonderful place to vacation, and the area itself is lovely too

    Thanks for a great mini-vacation

    Dejligt sted vores børnebørn nød stedet og dermed gjorde vi ældre det også 🤣
    Men det er lidt sjovt at se hvorledes en ( ikke kun på denne campingplads ) gruppe gæster/fastligger fylder og dominere væsentligt
    Der er sådan lidt Mallorca fra 70/80 erne over en del af dem

    Men et skønt sted at holde ferie ligeledes selve området

    Tak for en god mini ferie
