Wild camping in Denmark

Stay
Outside the breeding season (which lasts from March to August), it is allowed to stay on the coast and in nature reserves day and night. Even if wild camping is not allowed, you are allowed to stay without a tent in these regions. If you want to stay on private property, you still have to ask the owner for permission in advance.

By motorhome/campervan
In Denmark, you are only allowed to stay on campsites with a motorhome or campervan. However, resting in the vehicle is permitted to regain the fitness to drive. However, you should pay attention to the signs on the pitches. There are parking spaces that expressly prohibit the parking of motorhomes.

Fishing
Denmark is a popular destination for anglers due to its proximity to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Fishing in Denmark is only allowed with a fishing license. However, you can buy it directly on the spot without having to pass any tests. Also, there are even campsites with a "sport fishing" notice. Here you are right on the water, you can buy fishing permits and there are cleaning areas and freezers.

Gardens
The Danes are very open and hospitable people. In recent years more and more Danes have opened their gardens to provide campers with a free pitch. Such pitches can be recognized by signs with a white heart with two footprints in a green circle. Of course, you should still talk to the owner and ask for permission.
