Anywhere Campers AalborgAalborgView map
Taking a campervan hire in Aalborg means setting off from the capital of North Jutland, on the banks of the Limfjord, where this long arm of the sea narrows before reaching the Kattegat. Across the fjord begins Vendsyssel, cut off from the rest of Jutland by the Limfjord: North Sea dunes, the Rubjerg Knude lighthouse and, at the very end, Skagen and Grenen. To the west, the fjord strings out its islands as far as the Thy coast. Our partner, Anywhere Campers, has a depot here and rents out both campervans for two and motorhomes sleeping six.
The North Sea at Løkken and the Kattegat at Sæby are each less than an hour's drive away: you can switch coasts depending on the wind.

Via Blokhus and Løkken, with their white beach huts, you follow the North Sea to Lønstrup and the Rubjerg Knude lighthouse, moved on rails in 2019 to escape the retreating cliff. After the North Sea Oceanarium in Hirtshals, the road reaches Råbjerg Mile, a dune that still moves every year, the church swallowed by sand, then Skagen and its yellow houses, at the foot of the Grenen sand spit.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Aalborg?
Best time
June and September
June, September
highs 18 to 20 °C, lows 12 °C
The two most pleasant months to leave from Aalborg: June offers thirteen hours of sunshine a day on average and still moderate rainfall, September deserted beaches and low light over the dunes of Skagen. The campsites of Vendsyssel are all open, and pitches are easy to find from late August.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 20 to 21 °C, lows 13 °C
High summer brings the warmest days, around 20 °C, and a sea finally warm enough to swim off the beaches of Løkken. It is also the wettest period: July is the rainiest month of the year in Aalborg, with August close behind. Skagen and Grenen draw the crowds, while the Limfjord and Thy stay peaceful.
April, May and October
April to May, October
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 3 to 8 °C
Cool, windy shoulder seasons. April and May are fairly dry, with ten to twelve hours of sunshine a day, and in spring Skagen becomes a major spot for watching migrating birds of prey. October, almost as wet as July, brings spectacular storms on the North Sea; many campsites close after the autumn holidays.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 4 to 8 °C, lows 0 to 4 °C
Winter in North Jutland is dark, with two to three hours of sunshine a day in December and January, and often windy. It rarely freezes on average, but open campsites become scarce: a short stay in Aalborg and Skagen in a well-heated vehicle is still possible, for the Christmas markets or a walk on empty beaches.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Crossing the Limfjord
Aalborg and Nørresundby face each other on either side of the Limfjord. The E45 motorway passes under the fjord through a tunnel, east of the centre: the most direct route to Frederikshavn, Skagen and Hirtshals. The Limfjord Bridge, right in the centre, is a moveable bridge that opens to let boats through: expect a wait when it does.
Driving on the beach, with care
On some stretches of the beaches at Blokhus and Løkken, cars are allowed at reduced speed. A loaded motorhome easily gets stuck in soft sand, though, and recovery is expensive: read the rental company's conditions, which may forbid it, and leave the vehicle in the car parks at the top of the beach instead.
Grenen and Råbjerg Mile on foot
At Grenen, the paid car park is at the end of the road, near the art museum; from there it is a half-hour walk through the sand, or a ride on the Sandormen tractor bus, to the tip. At Råbjerg Mile, you also park at the foot of the dune and climb it on foot. In summer these car parks fill up by midday: arrive early in the morning.
Where to spend the night
Sleeping in a motorhome outside campsites and designated areas is forbidden in Denmark, and the North Sea beach car parks are monitored in summer. North Jutland does, however, have many campsites tucked into the dunes, and several small Limfjord harbours set aside a few pitches for motorhomes, for a fee.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Aalborg
Where can I pick up a campervan in Aalborg?
Pick-up is at the Anywhere Campers depot in Aalborg, the only partner company in the city. The exact address and appointment time are in your booking confirmation. Allow time for the vehicle handover, especially the heating and the electric hook-up, both useful at Vendsyssel campsites as soon as the nights turn cool.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Aalborg?
The price varies with the departure date, the length of hire and the model: a Van for 2 costs nothing like a family Sunlight A70, and July remains the most popular month. Enter your dates in the search to see real offers, mandatory fees included, and book online. Also budget for campsites, fuel and, if needed, ferries.
Can I take the ferry to Norway from Hirtshals?
Yes: less than an hour from Aalborg, the port of Hirtshals is linked to Kristiansand, Larvik, Langesund, Stavanger and Bergen by Color Line and Fjord Line. First check in the offer conditions that Norway, outside the European Union, is covered by the insurance, then book the crossing giving the exact length and height of the motorhome.
Which model should I choose from Aalborg?
For two, the Van for 2 fits anywhere, including the small car parks at Lønstrup or on Fur. The Carado T-447 sleeps four, the Sunlight T 68 and the Adria Matrix AXESS or PLUS five, and the Sunlight A70 with its over-cab bed six. Manual or automatic depending on the version; and since ferries charge by length, a compact vehicle keeps the budget down.
Can I do a one-way trip from Aalborg?
Our partners also have departures in Aarhus, Billund, Odense, Copenhagen and Aabenraa, near the German border. Returning the vehicle elsewhere requires the company to have a depot there, and fees may apply: choose the return city in the search to see only compatible offers, fees included. A one-way trip to Billund, for instance, lets you head south along the west coast.
How do I get to the depot from Aalborg airport?
Aalborg airport is on the north bank of the Limfjord, in Nørresundby, about ten minutes' drive from the centre; buses and taxis provide the link. It receives flights from Copenhagen and a few major European cities. Tell the rental company your landing time to arrange the appointment, or come by direct train from Copenhagen.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Aalborg
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Denmark?
A category B licence, valid up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight, lets you drive campervans and most rental motorhomes. A licence issued outside the European Union may need to be accompanied by an international driving permit: check before you leave. Anywhere Campers also sets a minimum age and a minimum period of holding a licence, stated in each offer.
When should I book a campervan in Aalborg?
For a departure between late June and mid-August, book several months ahead: Danish, German and Norwegian school holidays overlap, and only one depot serves the city. The Hirtshals and Læsø ferries also fill up in summer. In May, June or September, a few weeks' notice is usually enough, except for automatic vehicles, which go first.
How many days for Vendsyssel and the Limfjord?
Four or five days are enough for the Vendsyssel loop to Skagen. With a week, you can add the Limfjord and the Thy coast; with ten days or two weeks, Læsø, Himmerland or a one-way trip down to Aarhus. Distances are short, but the wind, the ferries and the walks in the dunes make the days longer.
What is there to see in Aalborg before setting off?
On the north bank, Lindholm Høje gathers hundreds of Viking graves edged with stones, some shaped like ships. In town, Aalborghus Castle, Budolfi Cathedral and the merchants' houses lead to the redeveloped waterfront, with the Utzon Center, the last building by the architect of the Sydney Opera House, and the Kunsten art museum. In the evening, Jomfru Ane Gade is lined with bars and restaurants.
Can I go to Sweden from northern Jutland?
Yes, on the Stena Line ferry between Frederikshavn, about an hour from Aalborg, and Gothenburg, on Sweden's west coast. The crossing takes a few hours and is booked by giving the vehicle's dimensions. Check that Sweden is among the countries covered by the offer's insurance: Skagen and Gothenburg then combine into a two-country loop.
Does Aalborg have a low-emission zone?
Yes, the centre of Aalborg is one of the Danish environmental zones, the miljøzoner, where cameras check diesel vehicles, motorhomes and vans included. Recent vehicles in the fleet, registered in Denmark, normally meet the required standards; still ask at pick-up and check the rules in force before driving into the city.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Aalborg
Aalborg is the closest departure point to Denmark's northern tip: Skagen, Hirtshals and the North Sea beaches can be reached in a morning, without the long motorway hours that a start from Copenhagen or Odense involves. Around the city, the Limfjord offers a second, quieter journey, from island to island as far as the cliffs of Thy, and Himmerland adds forests, heathland and Viking sites.
Anywhere Campers rents out its full range here, from the Van for 2 to the family Sunlight A70, with manual or automatic gearboxes depending on the model. The ports of Hirtshals and Frederikshavn extend the trip to Norway, Sweden or the island of Læsø, while Aarhus, 100 km as the crow flies, and our partners' other departure cities make it possible to head back down Jutland one way. From June to September, the long Nordic evenings leave time to watch the sun set over the North Sea.
