    Great campsite, helpful and very friendly staff. Clean facilities and at a convenient distance even though we stayed the furthest away. Peace and quiet on site, good activities and especially dogs and children have been given extra attention. Good location in relation to the Wadden Sea, Rømø, Tønder, Ribe etc.

    Update 07.04.2025 The ACSI card was accepted. 27€ per night. 2 persons, 1 dog, electricity, shower incl. + environmental tax DKK 14 per person. A nice, friendly owner family. The site is clean, quiet and beautifully situated. The pitches are large. There is a playground to keep the kids entertained. The garbage, the waste water, the toilet disposal = well organized. We didn't use the kitchen and recreation room - but they are available and very clean. The sanitary building is clearly laid out and was very clean. There is a fenced exercise area for dogs. The adjacent pond is fenced in and secured. Our dog really enjoyed it. WE FELT AT HOME. WE WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK!!! We were looking for a pitch for 2 nights at short notice (02 - 04.09.2022). Here it was possible without any problems. The ACSI card was accepted. The host family was very nice, friendly and helpful. They speak 4 languages! The site is clean, quiet and in a very scenic location. The pitches are large enough. The fresh bread rolls in the morning are super tasty, there is also delicious pizza - but not in the morning. There is a playground to keep the kids entertained. The garbage, the sewage, the toilet disposal = well organized. We didn't use the kitchen and recreation room - but they are available. The sanitary building is clearly laid out and was always clean. There is an exercise area for dogs. The swimming pond was dry. The dogs enjoyed it anyway. In my opinion, not quite up to date anymore: W-Lan for a fee. But that doesn't change anything: WE HAD A GOOD TIME

    A very quiet campsite off the island of Romo. The campsite is much cheaper than those on the island and offers a very good alternative. The drive to the beach, Lakolk Romo, takes about 20-25 minutes by car. The location is very quiet and the place invites you to relax. The staff is very courteous and speaks German. The playground offers children everything they could wish for. We would come back at any time and certainly will.

    Sehr schön ruhig gelegener Campingplatz, vor der Insel Romo. Der Platz ist deutlich günstiger als die auf der Insel und bietet eine sehr gute Alternative. Die Fahrt zum Strand, Lakolk Romo dauert ca 20-25 Minuten, mit dem Auto. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und der Platz lädt zum Entspannen ein. Der Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und spracht deutsch. Der Spielplatz bietet Kinder alles was Sie sich wünschen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen und werden es auch ganz sicher tun.
