Dancamps to Tranum Klit Camping

Dancamps to Tranum Klit Camping

Another day of driving through Denmark, but with the prospect of meeting up with fellow square dancers who are attending an event in the extreme north of Denmark at Tranum Strand. Overnight at Tranum Klit Camping, this campsite has the dubious distinction of being the most expensive campsite that we have stayed at in all our ten years wandering about Europe. France, Germany, Czechia, Italy, The Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland we have spent time in all of them, in France we paid €44 a night, but that included access to a massive waterpark. Here in Denmark we paid €51.50 simply for an overnight pitch with access to the showers and toilets. 

The pitches at Tranum Klit Camping are separated by mature trees. I found the half-glazed doors on the toilets disconcerting, even though the glass was patterned, it just felt ‘uncomfortable’!

Leaving Dancamps about 10.45 we get on our way on H441 to E45, a good road north past Vejle through Viborg and all the way to Logstor and the Nibe Bredning Fjord. We cross the Fjord via the Aggersund bridge, a metal construction swing bridge with great views in both directions along the waterways. Once north of Aggersund we bear right onto a small highway through Manstrup and Bonderup to Tranum. Turning left (north at the village we cross the heath, a wild and desolate area of land colonised by grasses and the hardiest of plants that can withstand the wind. Arriving early afternoon we find Tranum Klit Camping, a large 180-pitch campsite mostly used by families and caravanners (few motorhomes), we check-in and set up on our chosen pitch, a shady place among the trees. Putting out the awning gives us extra shade next to the trees.

Later we spend some time sitting out in the shade, under the awning and enjoying the warm late afternoon sunshine enjoying a bottle of fizz with some feta and olives. I cook chicken chilli for a late meal and we enjoy the warmth of the evening.
