Faaborg Camping

It’s a leisurely 10-minute bike ride to Faaborg town centre for shops, restaurants and the arty Faaborg Museum. The town's also home to the Arresten prison museum, where you can have a glimpse of life behind bars (a handy place to visit if the small sorts need an incentive to inspire better behaviour). Faaborg harbour’s also the place to for kayak rentals, fishing trips and seawater swimming (there are bathing jetties, a kids’ pool and a sauna for those who found it all a little chilly). If you’d like to explore further along the coast, ferries leave from here for the short jaunt to the islands of Lyø, Avernakø and Bjørnø, all good destinations for beaches, nature trails and birdwatching. Other recommended visits around the South Funen area include Egeskov Castle (said to be Europe’s best-preserved moated Renaissance castle), the Naturama natural history museum and Odense Zoo – all are within a half-hour drive.
