  • 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

A well-kept site with ample space. Friendly staff, handy services (fresh bread, pizza delivery, booking app) get top marks. Minor feedback on shower timing/lighting & a dog issue was noted, with the manager clarifying.

Liked Ein sehr gepflegter und mit Liebe betriebener Platz. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Toll fanden wir die App, über die man alles regeln konnte.
Die Betreiber sprechen deutsch und waren supernett. Sie waren sehr kulant, als wir uns bei der Buchung vertan hatten. Vielen Dank nochmals dafür!

Disliked Es gibt eigentlich nichts zu beanstanden.
Es war nur etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, dass die sanitären Anlagen für Männlein und Weiblein nicht richtig getrennt waren.
