Campsites in Denmark

Lead-free petrol and diesel are widely available. LPG is hardly available. Many fuelling stations are open 24 hours a day in Denmark. There are also many unstaffed fuelling stations.

Dipped headlights (or daytime running lights) are compulsory during the day. At an uncontrolled intersection, traffic from the right has priority. As a rule, traffic on a roundabout has priority. On sloping roads, ascending traffic has priority over descending traffic. Drivers may only call hands free. Children under 1.35 metres in height must be in a child's car seat. Winter tyres are not compulsory.

On a motorway, place your warning triangle at least 100 metres (elsewhere at 50 metres) behind the car if it forms a hazard to other traffic. All occupants are advised to put on a safety vest. If you breakdown, call the emergency number of your breakdown assistance insurer. You can also call the Danish breakdown assistance service: +45 70 10 20 30 (Falck) or +45 70 10 80 90 (SOS/Dansk Autohjaelp). You are not allowed to tow vehicles on the motorway.

In general, wild camping outside recognised campsites is generally not allowed. It is only allowed if the landowner has granted permission. For campers who arrive late, the quick stop service is gaining in popularity: you have access for an overnight stay from 8 pm to 10 am the next morning, often outside the ordinary campsite. Take note! There are very few options for filling propane bottles. You are therefore advised to travel with enough gas. Since a decision by the Danish competition authority in 2017, there is no longer a national obligation to purchase a camping card from Camping Key Europe (CKE) at Danish campsites. You can now use your ACSI Club ID at many Danish campsites. And yet, you may still come across campsites that do require the CKE card. If that is the case, you can buy it on the spot.
