Every year, OpdagDanmark names Denmark's best campsites based on votes from the Danish public – and Grenaa Strand Camping has truly made its mark at the very top.
The campsite was named Midtjyllands Bedste Campingplads four years in a row in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.
As the icing on the cake, Grenaa Strand Camping also claimed the title of Danmarks Bedste Campingplads in both 2025 and 2026.
So what is it that makes this particular campsite so popular? We took a closer look below!
Location, location, location
Location is a crucial factor when choosing a holiday destination, and here too, Michael and Pernille's place truly shines. The campsite sits right by the finest, white and exceptionally child-friendly sandy beach.
... and when you're not in the mood for the beach and forest, top attractions like Ree Safari Park, Kattegatcentret and Djurs Sommerland are just a short drive away, as well as charming visits to idyllic Ebeltoft and Grenå.
A campsite full of character
Ahoy, landlubbers!
A truly unique feature of Grenaa Strand Camping is the overarching pirate theme, which greets you the moment you check in. And it's hard to miss the massive playground, built in the shape of a giant pirate ship. Beautifully executed and bound to bring huge smiles to the youngest members of the family.
20 years of experience and dedication
When we at OpdagDanmark hand out the awards for Best Campsite each year, the winners are often relatively new owners bursting with fresh energy and new initiatives for the site.
However, you won't find brand-new owners at Grenaa Strand Camping – the couple Michael Lip and Pernille Gleerup Andersen have run the campsite for 20 years, and they've never rested on their laurels.
The fact that the site is immaculate and tidy is highlighted in countless reviews, and there are always new improvements underway. In 2023, for instance, holiday cabins featuring outdoor hot tubs were added.
Just steps from one of Denmark's best sandy beaches
Wake up next door to the sea
Very few campsites can boast having one of Denmark's best bathing beaches right on their doorstep – but Grenaa Strand Camping can. Just a few steps from the campsite lies the miles-long sandy beach, where soft white sand and crystal-clear water provide the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday by the Kattegat.
Grenaa Strand is famous for its shallow, calm waters that stretch far out. This makes the beach particularly popular with families with young children, who can safely splash in the shallows, build sandcastles, or hunt for seashells while the adults relax with breathtaking sea views.
5 stars
Even though there are countless adventures around the campsite, you could easily spend an entire week's holiday without ever leaving the grounds. In 2023, the site was upgraded to 5 stars, and it's easy to see why! There is a wealth of fantastic facilities all across the park.
To name just a few:
• Swimming pool
• High Jump bungee trampoline
• Basketball court
• Pirate minigolf
• Jumping pillow
• Ball courts
• Dog bath
• Pedal go-karts
• Bicycle hire
• Minimarket
.... and much, much more!
