  • 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. The site has free wifi.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Great location, opportunity to order fresh bread for breakfast

Disliked: Facilities are old and underdeveloped, size of the allocated camping slot is very small, toilets and showers are in the same block, there is one single sink which has soap to wash your hands. You have to pay extra for everything, electricity, showers. The system for the showers is very poor, you are given a card for 4min, which should recharge every day, if you use less then the full time, you cannot use what is left later, it doesn’t always recharge, if it does you can be cut off in the middle of your shower even if you just started etc. At check out, I asked for an itemised bill and they could not produce it, I had to pay whatever they asked without being able to check. WiFi is slow and was down at night.

From the manager: I understand your feedback, and I apologize that your stay didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to provide a positive experience for all our guests, and it's disappointing to hear that yours fell short. Our records show that you enjoyed excellent Wi-Fi connectivity during your stay, as evidenced by your 9GB data usage. We understand that technical issues can arise when traveling, and we're happy to assist with troubleshooting if you encounter difficulties. We encourage guests to inform our reception staff of any problems so we can address them promptly. Our sanitary facilities are designed to provide comfort and convenience for all our guests. While we offer a variety of amenities, including separate toilets, showers, and family bathrooms, it seems you may not have had the opportunity to explore all areas. The shower card system is designed for efficient water usage and is easy to use. Each guest receives two cards upon check-in, which typically provides ample shower time for the duration of their stay. Additional shower time can be purchased at the reception. You have got 2 times 16 minutes shower plus 8 minutes recharge. Detailed instructions are available in the sanitary building and within our app. Our staff is always happy to assist with any questions or concerns. We appreciate your preference for printed invoices. However, to reduce paper consumption and streamline our processes, we've transitioned to electronic invoicing. You can access your invoice at any time through your email. Wishing you a nice summer, best regards Ballum Camping

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Immaculate cleanliness of site and facilities. Range of site facilities. Price of stay was very good value for money. Good hot showers Very peaceful area with lovely coastal walks .

Disliked: Being afraid to walk around my van because of the bad tempered French bulldog in the next unit straining at his lead that if he had got off I’m pretty sure he would have had a go at me with possibly severe and disastrous consequences for myself and the dog. REMEMBER NOT EVERYONE LIKES OR WANTS TO TOLERATE DOGS . I for one have always been all but afraid of dogs when they take up the growling and attack stance ears back tears barred straining at the lead . This dog was although not classified as a dangerous dog bread is never the less not called a bulldog for its historical mild manners . If it can’t stop doing that it shouldn’t be out in public let alone on a campsite with the cross section of the general public that you cater so well for . Thank you Steve

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Excellent facilities and a beautifully maintained site...everiything s very transparent and easy to navigate .Plenty of space for everything too ...There's clever little touches which make life very pleasant as well such as .. ( ridiculous as it may sound) a plentiful supply of recycling bins in a covered area that's spotlessly clean ....There's a dishwasher for use at the wash up area too ....never seen that before!! .Fresh bread and pastries in the morning and pizza available by order in the evening...you can download their app and order from your pitch too ...and WiFi coverage is fantastic ...

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Das Bad für Kleinkinder mit Wanne zum stehen! Sehr angenehm. Von der Wanne direkt auf den Wickeltisch! Der Platz liegt etwas außerhalb, was uns aber nicht gestört hat, da es für uns ziemlich angenehm war auf so einem „kleinen“ ruhigen Platz zu sein! Für Familien mit Kleinkinder und auch mit älteren Kindern zu empfehlen. Man bekommt lecker frische Brötchen vor Ort. WLAN. Genug dusch Möglichkeiten vorhanden. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, sollten wir nächste mal weiter durch Dänemark reisen, werden wir dort einen zwischen Stopp machen.

Disliked: Ich wüsste im Moment nichts, was erwähnenswert wäre.

Local attractions

Ballum Camping is in an area of protected marshland popular for birdwatching and nature spotting, and is within walking distance of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea National Park. Rudbøl nature reserve, part of the national park, is the breeding ground for ​​bird species aplenty from spring through to autumn when they fly south for winter. The island of Rømø is home to northern Europe's widest sandy beach, where there are plenty of options for watery activities such as surfing, sailing and windsurfing. The island's also covered in forests popular for hiking, dog walking and nature spotting. Neighbouring Sylt, the biggest German island in the North Sea, has a spectacular 40-kilometre beach and a railway causeway to mainland Germany at Niebüll and Klanxbüll. For a spot of history, visit the museum mills at the 13th-century Trøjbort castle ruins (10 minutes), or the historic cities of Tønder, Møgeltønder and Ribe, 25, 30 and 35 minutes away.
