A beautiful, very well-maintained campground in a very quiet location. Everything is thoughtfully laid out. The restrooms are always clean. Friendly staff, well-stocked snack bar. The pancake truck comes highly recommended. Smoked salmon or chicken with salad, dressing of your choice. Or go classic with sweet treats—simply fantastic. The Indian food truck offers a good selection. The food truck serving fries, hamburgers, and fish & chips is also highly recommended. Activities for the little ones are available at the on-site playground. The pizzas, fresh from the on-site wood-fired oven, are a real highlight. Ordering the bread roll service is super easy via the campground app, and the staff there are very helpful. All in all, a top-notch campground with attention to every detail. We’d like to thank Inga and Klaas for the wonderful vacation we had.

Great place. The facilities were okay. The staff seemed a little uninterested upon arrival, but after a while, we managed to connect with them.

A very nice campground, but unfortunately quite remote. You really need to be able to get around easily, but it’s a good starting point for exploring the surrounding area—Rømø, Ribe, etc.

Sehr schöner Campingplatz, leider auch recht abgelegen. Man muss schon sehr mobil sein, dann aber guter Start für die Umgebung...Rømø und Ribe etc.
