Camping on Denmark’s North Sea Coast: Rømø, Henne and Skagen

Henneby Camping is at Hennebysvej 20, close to Henne Strand, Blåbjerg Plantage and Filsø. The operator welcomes tents, caravans and motorhomes. In Blåbjerg, marked walking routes pass through dunes, heath, oak scrub and woodland. One route goes by Løvklitten, where old oaks were partly covered by drifting sand, before reaching Blåbjerg, which rises 64 metres above sea level. From Løvklitten, you can also continue towards Gråmulebjerg for views of the sea and Filsø.

Filsø makes a contrasting outing: the restored shallow lake is surrounded by meadows, marshes and dune heath. Paths, a welcome centre and four birdwatching towers lead along the shore, while migrating birds rest on the protected islands. The plantation and the lake offer different ways to spend time in the landscape around Henne.

Råbjerg Mile and Bunken Dune Plantation show two different responses to drifting sand. The Nature Agency says the moving dune advances several metres a year. In Bunken, the state began planting mainly mountain pines in 1887 to hold the sand in place. Walking between the two landscapes brings that contrast into view.

First Camp Råbjerg Mile – Skagen is 12 kilometres south of Skagen, according to its operator. The operator lists the harbour, museums and Grenen among possible outings, and points cyclists towards Skagen via Hulsig Heath. For walks in Bunken, the Nature Agency names Bunken Trinbræt on the Skagen railway as a starting point.

A northbound journey can change its focus at each stop: follow the tide-shaped shore and marked paths on Rømø, choose between woodland and lake at Henne, then see the moving dune and planted landscape near Skagen. Staying near the outing you want makes more sense here than using one campsite to cover the whole coast.
