Debate over wild camping in North Schleswig

Tønder Municipality in Denmark introduced stricter motorhome parking rules two years ago following numerous complaints, particularly on Rømø and in Møgeltønder. Overnight bans were imposed and official sites such as Oasen on Rømø and Marsk Camp near Skærbæk were expanded. According to Poul Erik Kjær, chairman of the technical committee, complaints about wild parking have ceased, though enforcement remains random. Criticism persists over motorhomes occupying staff parking spaces at the town hall, and a three-year-old overnight ban on Rømø was revoked after objections from the organisation Danmarks Frie Autocampere.

Simon Kilimann, a former Airbus and Eurogate manager, acquired the Galsklint campsite in Middelfart, Denmark, in 2025. In the first season, unexpected costs exceeded €120,000 for a new jetty, pipe and heating repairs, and IT issues. From late October 2025, the campsite will operate year-round, with plans to add pitches and a sauna. The owner is considering reopening reception in high season due to guest feedback.

The sale of Ore Strand Camping in Vordingborg has led to some guests at Præstø Camping, located about 20 kilometres away, being asked to leave. The reason is a change in booking terms following the change of ownership.

Bornholm resident Yanita Ivanova converted an old caravan into a hair salon and now serves clients at the harbor in Nexø. The 4-by-2-meter salon is fully booked on its first day. Ivanova plans to travel around the island, targeting elderly people at care centers who cannot easily visit regular salons.

The TV programme Nordseereport devoted an episode to the Danish North Sea island of Rømø. The feature covers camping on the island, where motorhomes are allowed to park directly on the 12-kilometre sandy beach. Presenter Tullio-Francesco Puoti rented a camper van to test how attractive the island is for campers. The episode also includes segments on holidays with dogs, one of Europe's largest kite festivals, and a young female brewmaster.

Isabella Camp-Let unveiled the 2027 Camp-Let Alba hybrid tent trailer at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon. Unlike previous models focused on maximum occupancy, the Alba is designed for two people, prioritizing storage and style. The trailer measures 3.23 meters in length, 1.6 meters in width, and 0.95 meters in height when closed, and expands to 18 square meters of tent space, including a bedroom, storage room, and kitchen. It is expected to be available from January 2027, with a starting price of €13,500.
