Explore Denmark by camper van: season, weather, and practical tips
Denmark, a country with varied landscapes and coastlines washed by the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, offers a unique experience for camper van travelers, where the mild climate and the beauty of the islands invite exploration.
When to go to Denmark by camper van?
The best time to travel by camper van in Denmark is from May to mid-September, with pleasant temperatures that allow you to explore islands like Bornholm or to follow the beaches of the west coast near Ribe. June and July are the warmest months, with highs around 20°C, ideal for enjoying long days and local festivals in Copenhagen or Odense.
Weather and pricing seasonality
The Danish climate is mild due to maritime influence, but rainfall is frequent throughout the year, especially in summer in Copenhagen or on the island of Funen. Prices for campsites and camper van rentals increase during the summer high season, while spring and autumn offer softer prices and fewer crowds, especially in the Jutland regions or near the Mols Bjerge nature reserve.
Traveling by camper van in Denmark: practical guide
Denmark offers well-maintained roads and a developed camper van infrastructure, but imposes strict rules that every traveler must know. Between the environmental zones of major cities and restrictions on wild camping, good preparation is essential for a hassle-free stay.
Driving and road regulations
On Danish roads, respect speed limits: 80 km/h on national roads and 130 km/h on highways (reduced to 110 km/h in case of rain). Camper vans over 3.5 tons are limited to 80 km/h everywhere. Highways are free, but some bridges like the Storebælt and Øresund are toll bridges. Wearing a seatbelt is mandatory, low beam lights must remain on at all times, and the maximum blood alcohol level is 0.5 g/l. Radar checks are frequent, and Danes strictly adhere to the traffic code.
Environmental zones exist in Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Odense, Aarhus, and Aalborg. Pre-registration of your vehicle on miljoezoner.dk is mandatory and free for all foreign vehicles. Diesel camper vans must have a particulate filter or meet European standard 5 (standard 6 if they weigh more than 3.5 tons). A fine of 1,500 DKK awaits offenders, and cameras record license plates in these zones.
Sleeping and connecting in a camper van
Wild camping is strictly prohibited in Denmark on public roads, beaches, and most forests. However, about 40 designated forest areas allow bivouacking with a maximum of two tents and three people per tent for one night. You can temporarily stop at parking lots and rest areas along highways to rest, but without setting up outdoor furniture. Overnight parking in a camper van, even discreetly, is not allowed outside designated areas.
Campsites are numerous and welcoming in Denmark, with reasonable rates. Free apps like Park4night, Campercontact, and Caramaps help you locate equipped camper van areas and campsites. A camping card will allow you to benefit from discounts. Some parking lots, like the one at the port of Aarhus, offer free but limited spots, requiring a parking disc to indicate your arrival time.
Local tips and safety
Parking checks are very frequent in Denmark, especially in tourist areas and cities. Local authorities strictly enforce regulations and do not hesitate to penalize violations, which can quickly add to your budget. Strictly adhere to signage and parking rules to avoid fines.
To enter Denmark, a valid identity card is sufficient as the country is part of the European Union. Danes are civic on the road, and traffic is generally smooth. Remember to equip yourself with a parking disc, easily found at gas stations for a few Danish crowns. Regularly check miljoezoner.dk to verify specific requirements for your vehicle before crossing the environmental zones of major cities.
Frequently Asked Questions in Denmark
Can I go wild camping in Denmark with my camper van?
No, wild camping is strictly prohibited in Denmark on public roads, beaches, and in most forests. Unlike its Scandinavian neighbors, Denmark does not apply a right of passage. You must park only in authorized locations: official campsites, rest areas, or private land with the owner's permission. Non-compliance can lead to a significant fine.
What are the legal alternatives to wild camping in Denmark?
Denmark offers an excellent infrastructure of official campsites and rest areas (rasteplads) where you can sleep in a camper van without setting up a tent or awning. Many farms also offer private spots for camper vans. Rest areas allow overnight stays as long as you stay inside the vehicle and respect any no-parking signs.
Do I need a camping card to stay in campsites in Denmark?
Yes, most campsites affiliated with the Danish Camping Board (Campingrådet) require a Camping Key Europe (campingpas). This card costs about 110 DKK and can be purchased upon arrival at any campsite. It serves as identification and provides access to affiliated campsites throughout Europe. Independent campsites may have different conditions.
What are the speed limits in Denmark for a camper van?
Speed limits apply to camper vans just like regular cars. Fines for speeding start at 135 euros for 20 km/h over the limit and 300 euros for 50 km/h over. Strictly adhere to road signage. Fixed and mobile radars monitor compliance with speed limits.
Do I need to register my camper van to access Danish city centers?
Yes, since 2020, access to the environmental zones of Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, and Aalborg requires prior free registration on the site miljoezoner.dk. This formality is mandatory for all foreign vehicles, including diesel camper vans. Failure to register can lead to a significant fine, even for simple passage.
Can I park my camper van on Danish beaches?
Parking on Danish beaches is only allowed during the day. Overnight stays in a camper van or tent on beaches are strictly prohibited, except on a few historic beaches like Vejers, Løkken, and the island of Fanø, which were once public roads. Check local signage for specific restrictions at each beach.
What documents do I need as a camper van driver in Denmark?
You must always carry a warning triangle in your camper van. Also, bring your driver's license, insurance documents, and registration. For campsites, a Camping Key Europe is recommended.

Too rigid computer system
Very good customer experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it! Thanks to the team who were attentive and available for organizing my trip to Canada.
Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.
Top rates and service
Impeccable
Quick and efficient response
Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.
Perfect
Interesting price, clear file and follow-up. Very easy to get answers to our questions, very pleasant staff.
We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...
The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in...
Very good from the quote to the rental, I recommend!
Good and quick communication, easy to book and easy to follow all the instructions.
Easy to contact intermediary. For my part, a big thank you to Marlene for her availability and responsiveness.
Excellent service, speed, and courtesy
Easy communication, in French
They have always responded quickly to all my requests and their website is very functional!
Everything was well arranged, clear information in advance, and the handover of the mobile home went smoothly.
It is convenient to book a vehicle without too many questions. However, personally, I went to Iceland, and the story surrounding the insurance was really not clear with the rental agency.
Diversity of offerings, clear presentation of the site, available options. No surprises on the price; you know what you're paying for. I recommend it and will probably use it again for other camper van trips.
Responsiveness to emails and requests is excellent.
