  • Quiet site set in a nature reserve near the Wadden Sea National Park
  • Half an hour's drive from the island of Rømø
  • Bike trips along the North Sea Cycle Route direct from the park
All roads lead to Rømø… or at least they do from peaceful and family-friendly Ballum Camping in Southern Denmark, a quiet and shaded family site in a protected nature area among buttercup meadows, cornfields and marshland on the border between Denmark and Germany. The Rømø here is an isle, the southernmost of Denmark's Wadden Sea Islands, half an hour's drive from Ballum via Route 419 north then the Route 175 causeway west. Explorers can drift easily along to off-coast Germany too, landing on North Frisia's biggest isle Sylt within 35 minutes from Rømø from ferry – but you may prefer to mooch around Rømø for the duration instead as it's home to the widest sandy beach in northern Europe. Ballum Camping is also within walking distance of the Wadden Sea National Park, and close to plentiful walking, cycling and nature trails such as the North Sea Cycle Route running alongside the site. Its Tønder Municipality location is about 20 minutes' drive from the small town of Bredebro, 15 minutes from a bowling alley, an indoor waterpark and an outdoor go-karting track, and – to build a full family day – 90 minutes from Legoland Billund. Facilities at Ballum include a TV lounge, a playground and a small convenience store selling everyday groceries and freshly baked bread. Among the amenities are a heated bathroom block, a baby bathroom, several family bathrooms, a laundry room with washers and dryers, an outdoor kitchen and a well-equipped indoor kitchen.

What customers say

This is a very clean, well-maintained campsite with friendly and helpful staff. Guests praised the great facilities, including clean toilets, showers, and a communal kitchen with a dishwasher. The site is family and dog-friendly, with a dog run available. Services like fresh bread, pastries, and pizza can be ordered via an app, and bike hire is offered. The location is ideal for cycling and walking. While most found the site excellent, one reviewer experienced issues with the shower card system and felt facilities were underdeveloped, with extra charges for electricity and showers. The manager clarified the shower system and invoicing process. A minor concern was raised regarding a dog's behaviour.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked All of it, great facilities, very clean toilets and showers, staff very helpful and friendly.

Disliked The nearest shop was a good few miles away, it would have been great if the shop had more fresh food on offer, such as meat and fish to buy. Only a small dislike.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked We loved our 3 nights at Ballum Camping on a 10-day trip to Denmark. Beautifully laid out site, on the ball staff, great facilities including a dishwasher! Very family & dog friendly. You can order fresh rolls, pastries, pizza & bike hire via the campsite app. Pop up food units on various days. Wonderful for cycling & walking in the local area.

Disliked Nothing!
