Læsø Camping

Step aboard the ferry at Frederikshavn and in 90 minutes you'll land on Læsø, a gem of an isle that's home to only 2000 people. This peaceful part of Jutland is a small-scale kind of place, so if it's nightlife and big city bustle you seek, it's fair to say you might not want to weigh anchor here. Those looking for a gentle landscape of unspoilt beaches, gorgeous heaths and splendid sand dunes, however, should make tracks for Læsø Camping, two kilometres from the north coast town of Vesterø.

Set in super green surrounds, the site has plenty of room to spread out your kit and spend time in the open air. The facilities here are top quality but low-key and unobtrusive, allowing guests to soak up the sounds and smells of nature all around them. Younger kids are sorted with the on-site play area and bouncy zone, while teens might want to hire a bike at reception and explore the surrounding country lanes. Although you're welcome to bring your car to Læsø, pretty much everywhere on the island can be reached by bike.

In terms of practicalities, the launderette, wifi, TV room and food shop may well come in handy. Dogs are welcome here, as are barbecues. If you need to stock up at a supermarket, head to Vesterø (five minutes' drive).
