  • 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.

Campers love the spotless site & helpful staff. Handy app for bread/pizza, great WiFi. Peaceful location, good coastal walks. Some find facilities dated, with issues over electricity/shower fees and mixed views on unisex washrooms.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

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.
