  • Family-friendly campsite on an organic dairy farm in rural Jutland
  • Hal an hour’s drive to Legoland Billund Resort and Labyrinthia
  • Playground, communal meeting area, farm shop and livestock on site
Surrounded by forest, hills, lakes and heathland, Gyvelborg is a family-run campsite with grass pitches on an organic dairy farm, five minutes’ drive from Nørre Snede in Jutland. Close to theme parks and zoos, it makes a handy base for family holidays amid nature – and guests can befriend the Jersey cows (and sometimes their cuter-than-cute calves) as well as cuddle rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and Nora the dog. You'll have a choice of spacious grass pitches here – some overlook the farm’s lake (great if you’re after a bit of peace), while others are near the playground (useful if you need to keep toddlers entertained). The site has two amenities blocks with lots of handy facilities, including a freezer, washing machine and disabled shower. If you need inspiration for day trips, dig out the tourist information in the shared meeting area, where there are books and games for quieter moments. As well as helping you meet all the animals, the site owners Jellemien and Willem are happy for you to become farmers for the day and follow them about their business, be it feeding calves (when possible), milking the cows or fruit picking (seasonal). Food supplies can be picked up at the farm shop, which sells home-reared beef, freshly bottled whole milk, nutty Thise cheese, ice cream, bread, eggs and lots of organic local produce.

Local attractions

Treating the kids to a day out? Chances are they’ll enjoy spotting world landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty in colourful miniature at Legoland Billund Resort, while Labyrinthia (both half an hour’s drive) has a series of outdoor mazes and interactive games to keep the whole family entertained. And if you’re all animal mad, take a safari across the African savannah to spot giraffes, zebras and lions at Givskud Zoo Zootopia (25 minutes), or watch otters and beavers splashing around in the water at Aqua Aquarium and Wildlife Park (half an hour). When everyone’s had their wildlife fix, turn to outdoor pursuits. Go kayaking down the Skjern Å river (20 minutes), and catch a fish for dinner on Hampen Sø lak (10 minutes), also popular for swimming in its pristine waters. Stay on dry land to hike and cycle on the long-distance Hærvejen route (20 minutes) through Jutland, or follow the former Skæve Bane rail track (15 minutes) through forests and meadowlands. And if you fancy a game of golf, there are two courses within 25 minutes’ drive.

Power optional grass site

Liked: Our kids liked the go karts and playground. They had lots of space to run and play around in, in relative safely. Our youngest also liked seeing all the cows.

Disliked: The owners/staff were quite polite apart from the son/younger one who was a bit of a prick. Check in took a bit too long.

Anaïs G. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass site

Liked: Nous avons aimé l’accueil dans ce camping à la ferme, les activités et le concept de ce camping familial où les emplacements étaient placés autour des aires de jeux. Une grande quantité de jeux a disposition pour les enfants en complément des balançoires et toboggans. Nous avons eu la chance d’arriver au moment de la cueillette des baies (animation proposée par le camping) et au barbecue collectif le soir. C’était vraiment top.

Disliked: Le nombre de toilettes un peu juste mais on s’en accommode.
