FAQ
Is there a right to roam in Denmark?
No. Denmark has no right to roam like Sweden or Norway. Free camping on private or public land without permission is not permitted. There are however designated spots and tolerated areas - best found with StayFree.
Can I spend the night on the Rømø beach?
No. At Rømø you can drive onto the beach during the day - but overnight stays are explicitly forbidden. There is also a real danger from tides - vehicles are regularly trapped. Always check tide times and leave the beach well before high water.
When is the best time for a campervan trip to Denmark?
May and September are ideal. Pleasant weather, few tourists, lower prices and more relaxed conditions for free camping. Peak season in July and August is beautiful but busy and expensive.
How do I find legal free camping spots in Denmark?
With StayFree - the app shows you community-checked and reviewed spots with current status, photos and first-hand reports.
