How to Get a Cheap Campervan in Denmark

One of the best-kept secrets for visiting Denmark by campervan is actually collecting your campervan just across the border in Germany. Rental prices in Hamburg tend to be quite a bit lower, and you’ll have a wider choice of vehicles, too.

Hamburg is only around three and a half hours from Copenhagen by road, so it’s a brilliant starting point for a Scandinavian road trip. Many travellers also choose this option because it opens the door to exploring northern Germany before crossing into Denmark, creating a longer and more varied European adventure.

If your itinerary is flexible, comparing prices between Denmark and nearby German depots could save you hundreds of euros.

Hamburg is serviced by these rental companies:

  • McRent,

  • DRM

  • Apollo

  • Rent Easy

  • Anywhere Campers.

You can also hire from any of our European depots and travel to and from Denmark.

Camping in Denmark

There are camping sites throughout the country and nearly all welcome campervans and motorhomes.

Can I free camp in Denmark?

Free camping/wild camping is not permitted in this country in a campervan or motorhome. You can pack a tent and take advantage of the ”right to roam” and camp anywhere.

Ask at the local tourist office about parking overnight on farms. This is a very popular option for many Danish families.

Rest stops offer free overnight parking and services such as waste disposal and showers etc. During summer months there are more of these. A small fee may be charged.

Cheap campsites can be found on these two websites. You have to arrive after 8pm and leave before 10am the following morning.

Winter camping

Over 200 campsites stay open during the winter months. A road trip during the winter months is spectacular. Roads are kept open and treated. Campervans and motorhomes are heated so cosy up on the long winter nights and enjoy exploring during the day.

When is the Best Time to Visit Denmark?

Denmark is a fantastic campervan destination all year round, as each season can bring a completely different experience. Whether you're looking for long summer evenings, colourful autumn landscapes or cosy winter hygge, there's never really a bad time to explore.

Spring (March to May) is one of the best times to visit if you prefer quiet roads and mild temperatures. Gardens and forests burst into life, attractions are less crowded, and campsites begin reopening after winter. It's an excellent season for cycling, hiking and exploring Denmark's historic towns before the summer rush.

Summer (June to August) is the most popular time for campervan holidays. Days are long, temperatures are pleasantly warm (but generally not hot), and Denmark's beaches, islands and outdoor cafés burst into life. Festivals take place across the country, ferry services run frequently, and it's the ideal season for island hopping. Because demand is high during this sunny season, we recommend booking your campervan and campsites well in advance.

Autumn (September to November) brings crisp air, colourful woodlands and a much more relaxed pace. Popular attractions are quieter, campsites are less busy, and it's a wonderful time to explore Denmark's forests, castles and coastal walks. Accommodation and campervan hire can also be more affordable than during the peak summer months.

Winter (December to February) offers a completely different kind of adventure. Over 200 campsites remain open throughout this cold season, and our modern campervans are equipped with heating to keep you warm and comfy. Denmark embraces winter with festive Christmas markets, cosy cafés, candlelit restaurants and its famous sense of hygge (Google it if you’re curious - it’s a brilliant Danish concept!). Roads are well maintained throughout the colder months, making winter road trips both practical and memorable.

Ultimately, the best time to visit depends on the type of holiday you're looking for. Summer offers the best weather, while spring and autumn provide excellent value and fewer crowds. Winter, meanwhile, rewards travellers looking for a peaceful Scandinavian escape with a cosy atmosphere unlike any other.

Where to Go on a Denmark Campervan Road Trip

Although Denmark is undoubtedly pretty small, there's an incredible amount of sights and experiences packed into this little country. One of the biggest advantages of travelling by campervan is how easily you can move between bustling cities, peaceful countryside, rugged coastlines and idyllic islands. 


Thanks to the country's excellent road network, impressive bridges and regular ferries, it's easy to build a widely varied itinerary without spending hours behind the wheel. Here are a couple of our top recommendations:

Copenhagen

Denmark's vibrant capital is the perfect place to begin your adventure. Explore the colourful Nyhavn waterfront, wander through Tivoli Gardens, visit the famous Little Mermaid statue and discover world-class museums, restaurants and cafés before heading out into the Danish countryside.


Distances between depots and Copenhagen:

  • Aalborg to Copenhagen is 278km via ferry

  • Aahurs to Copenhagen is 178km via ferry

  • Odense to Copenhagen is 250km via ferry

Jutland

Making up mainland Denmark, Jutland offers some of the country's most stunning and diverse scenery. Here you'll find rolling farmland, expansive beaches, charming market towns, ancient Viking history and several national parks. The Jutland Peninsula is also home to some of Denmark's best coastal drives, so we recommend you explore it at a leisurely pace.

North Jutland

At Denmark's northern tip, North Jutland is renowned for its dramatic sand dunes, wide sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages. Visit Skagen, where the North Sea and Baltic Sea meet, discover historic lighthouses, or simply enjoy some of the country's most spectacular coastal scenery from your camper van.

Funen and Odense

Known as Denmark's "Garden Island", Funen is possibly the prettiest of Danish sites. It’s characterised by rolling countryside, elegant castles and quiet country lanes that are perfect for a relaxed road trip in our RV rentals. Its largest city, Odense, is the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen (the writer) and offers beautiful historic streets, fascinating museums and a lively café culture. It's an excellent stop for families, history lovers and anyone wanting to experience traditional Danish charm.

Bornholm

Accessible by ferry, this Baltic island feels like a destination all of its own. Famous for its sandy beaches, dramatic granite cliffs, cycling routes and smoked herring, Bornholm is perfect for travellers looking to slow down and enjoy Denmark's natural beauty.

Legoland Billund

If you’re travelling with the family, you won't want to miss the original LEGOLAND® Billund Resort - one of Denmark's most popular destinations. Beyond the theme park, Billund is surrounded by beautiful countryside and offers plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and relaxing in nature.

Møns Klint

These towering white chalk cliffs overlooking the Baltic Sea are among Denmark's most photographed natural landmarks, and it’s no wonder why. Spectacular walking trails, panoramic viewpoints and crystal-clear waters make Møns Klint a must-visit for photographers, hikers and anyone wanting to experience one of Denmark's most iconic natural landscapes.

Whether you're planning a long Scandinavian road tripping adventure or a shorter holiday exploring the Jutland West Coast alone, campervan hire in Denmark is the way if you’re looking for the flexibility to discover the country at your own pace.

Driving a Campervan in Denmark

Denmark is known to be one of Europe's easiest countries to explore by campervan. The roads are super well-maintained, traffic is generally light outside the cities, and you don’t need to drive for hours between attractions.

On your campervan trip in Denmark, you’ll drive on the right-hand side of the road. Also important to note is that dipped headlights must remain on at all times, and using your phone while driving is strictly prohibited. And some good news - snow chains are rarely ever needed, even during winter, because roads are cleared and maintained very regularly.

Do bear in mind that two of Denmark's most famous crossings, the Great Belt Bridge and the Øresund Bridge linking Denmark with Sweden, charge tolls. However, these are truly impressive engineering landmarks and are well worth including in your itinerary if you're planning to continue your journey into Scandinavia.

You can also use the extensive ferry network to get around. The word ”Ferry” in Danish is faerger or bilfaerger, and there are 39 different routes that permit motorhomes and campervans on board.

Why Denmark is Perfect for First-Time Campervan Travellers

If you've never hired a campervan before and you’re feeling a little intimidated, Denmark is an excellent place to start. The country's compact size means you can see a great deal without spending long hours driving, while excellent roads, plentiful camping sites and English-speaking locals make travelling straightforward.

Add in Denmark's famous cycling culture, beautiful coastline and relaxed pace of life, and it's easy to see why so many people choose it for their first Scandinavian campervan adventure.

FAQs

Yes! Most rental companies allow you to drive your campervan into Sweden, so it’s easy to continue your Scandinavian adventure. The iconic Øresund Bridge connects Copenhagen with Malmö in less than an hour, while ferry services also provide routes between Denmark and Sweden. We just recommend that you always check your rental agreement before travelling internationally, as some suppliers may have specific conditions or insurance requirements.

For shorter ferry crossings outside the peak season, it’s generally not necessary to book in advance. However, if you're travelling during the summer holidays, on weekends or with a larger motorhome, it's highly recommended.

Yes, most campsites throughout Denmark offer electric hook-up (EHU) pitches, so you can connect your campervan or motorhome to mains electricity during your stay. Many sites also provide fresh water, waste disposal, modern shower facilities, laundry rooms and Wi-Fi, making them ideal for both short stopovers and extended holidays.

Most travellers can hire a campervan in Denmark using a standard full driving licence, provided it covers the class of vehicle being rented. Visitors from some countries may also be asked to present an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside their licence. As requirements vary depending on your country of residence and the rental company, it's always worth checking before you travel.

Wild camping is generally not permitted in Denmark in a campervan or motorhome. However, there are plenty of authorised campsites, motorhome stopovers and designated overnight parking areas throughout the country. Some farms also offer overnight stays, and rest areas with motorhome facilities can be found on many popular routes, making it easy to travel comfortably while staying within local regulations.

DK-Camp and Quick Stop-nights are good sites to look for cheap campsites, and these websites also provide more info on campsites in Denmark: Danish Campsites website and Stellplatz Danmark website.
