Færgegårdens camping and surroundings

  • Traditional, peaceful site by the beach in Spodsbjerg
  • Handy central Langeland site close to the ferry and bike paths
  • Beachside café, bike hire and sociable singalong evenings
How did Færgegårdens Camping get its name, which translates as ‘the ferry garden’? Well, there’s a bit of history behind that… And that history goes back rather a long way, all the way to 1890 when this site opened its doors to guests for the first time. Invariably, those guests were mainly in the area to make use of the ferry to or from Spodsbjerg, the little harbour town that was the main route on and off the island of Langeland; the location is so handy that the place often housed the ferrymen themselves too. That ferry (well, a more modern version of it) still runs to Lolland these days, forming part of the country’s Route 9 – a nifty route that links several islands and passes very close to the site. And the site is still going strong too, proudly boasting the title of the oldest site on the island. If you’re tackling a jaunt around southern Denmark or hanging around for an extended taste of island life, this makes a fine spot in which to settle: it's right next to the beach, and the local shop and seafood restaurant are both within a very short amble. It may have history but this isn’t a place that’s stuck in the past: the folk here do their best to keep the traditional vibe going while also constantly updating the facilities. As such, guests can play pétanque, hire bikes and e-bikes, hang out at the beachside café or join jolly singalong evenings but also avail of such handy amenities as a launderette, wifi and well-maintained bathrooms.

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked: Fantastic location. Across the road is a tiny but perfect beach. Up the road just a minute away is a supermarket where all the essentials can be found. The campsite is large but we found the facilities were mostly clean, showers were free and always hot.

Disliked: Our four nights stay was unfortunately spoiled by the noise from a group staying in one of the campgrounds lodges. On our first night the party got extremely drunk and very noisy, having sex in the bushes beside our van and being sick everywhere. Horrible! They were quiet for a couple of nights but then again came the noise, until 02:45! We really feel the campsite should police this, a quick walk around at 11pm would do the job, especially when they live on site. When we talked to the staff about it they didn’t seem to believe us which was poor. Having kids with us and being in a foreign country I didn’t feel like approaching them only to cause more conflict. Sad that our stay in this beautiful country was only marred by this. The WiFi isn’t the best, dropping off a lot.

Liked: Another fantastic site in Denmark located a couple hundred meters from the sea and beach. Customers service was excellent and very helpful. Pitch was great but not big enough for an awning if we were using one. Sea was crystal clear for swimming and paddleboarding. There was a bar/cafe which we think was part of the site which was excellent and a petrol station and mini market very close by. Town of rudkobing well worth a visit.

Disliked: showers great but could be a little cleaner and better lit but minor detail.

Liked: Campingplatz in Top Lage, Stellplatz ausreichend groß, Strand und Hafen in unmittelbarer Nähe, Einkauf Möglichkeit ebenfalls in der Nähe.

Disliked: Sanitäranlagen sind in die Jahre gekommen, was die Sauberkeit angeht es geht auch besser (es wäre wünschenswert gewesen das öfters geputzt worden wäre)

Local attractions

Life moves pretty slowly on Langeland, so your first task here is simply to chill out and take in the view from the beach by the site. Once you’ve done that, the logical next step is to clamber onto a bike (either one hired on site or one you’ve brought along) and head off to pootle along the island’s quiet cycle paths to see the wild horses roaming. The landscapes and light of this pretty island have inspired many an artist over the years, and you can see a fair amount of the results at the galleries that open in summer; a favourite spot is up in the old electric tower that’s now been turned into an exhibition space. Also on the agenda for your stay should be outings to Tranekær Castle (half an hour by bike/15 minutes’ drive), a 13th-century fort with a fab sculpture garden, and the excellent Langelandsfort (half an hour’s drive), where you can see Cold War bunkers and a submarine, or take your chance to drive a tank.
