Camping in Denmark: prices and strict weight checks for motorhomes

In Brief

Overnight stays at Danish campsites cost 30–50 euros for two, but police strictly fine overloaded vehicles. Weigh your motorhome before the border.

Camping prices in Denmark

The cost of an overnight stay for two people with a motorhome or camper in Denmark ranges from 30 to 50 euros. At simple three-star campsites, the price is about 75 Danish kroner (roughly 10 euros) per person per night, with children paying less. Additionally, there is a fee for electricity (20–30 Danish kroner per day), and charges for pitch, environment, or dogs may apply. Prices are lower outside the season.

Rules and checks

Wild camping is prohibited; overnight stays are only allowed at campsites or designated parking areas. Danish police conduct strict checks on overloaded motorhomes. Weight tolerance is minimal, and fines are high. Camper drivers are advised to use the opportunity to check their vehicle's weight before crossing the border.

75-year-old stopped in motorhome with knife and drugs in Denmark

On Thursday evening at around 23:40, police in Rødbyhavn stopped a British motorhome that had just disembarked from a ferry. The cabin smelled of hashish, and a drug test showed the 75-year-old driver was under the influence of THC. During a search, officers found a knife tucked into his belt and nearly 16 grams of cannabis. The man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, violating the knife law, and the controlled substances act. The Danish Immigration Service will decide whether he should be deported.

Lottery winner buys new caravan but forgets the car

A woman from Central Jutland won 1 million Danish kroner in the lottery and quickly ordered a new caravan with separate beds and a joystick control. However, she overlooked that her car could not tow such a heavy trailer, so she had to invest in a new car as well. This is not the first such oversight for the couple: previously they bought a car without a tow bar, and after installing one, they found it still couldn't tow their then-caravan.
