Haderslev Campingplads

When ready to venture out beyond the site, head first to the pretty town of Haderslev (five minutes’ drive away) for museum explores, medieval tours in the company of 13th-century nightwatchmen, concerts on the three organs at the cathedral and a clamber aboard the vintage train from Haderslev to Vojens (check dates before travelling). Haderslev isn’t the only town worth visiting round here either: the site’s 15 minutes from the UNESCO-protected Christiansfeld, an 18th-century Moravian settlement with a museum, lots of cafés and restaurants, and plenty of classic Danish architecture. Keeping feet firmly planted in the past, trips to Gram Slot for tours of the castle, grounds and adjacent farm, and to the royal castle of Koldinghus for tours and museum visits, are absolute musts about half an hour away. Prefer to stay out in the fresh air? Opt for beachy days on the Baltic with a jaunt to the nearest sandy stretch at Kelstrup Strand (10 minutes from base), or to Hejlsminde or Årøsund for boat trips, spearfishing, snorkelling and swims within about 20 minutes. The site’s within an hour’s drive of LEGOLAND Billund and Universe Science Park theme parks if high-octane days are sought, and it’s just 35 minutes to the Denmark-Germany border if peaceful forays into the neighbouring country appeal. (The large German town of Flensburg is 20 minutes on the other side of the border.)
