Every year, OpdagDanmark names the country's best campsites, and in 2022 the title of "Denmark's Best Small Campsite" went to Tannisby Camping in Tversted.
We subsequently dropped by to present the award – and to find out why so many people chose to vote for this exact spot.
Hospitality and hygge
You do not have to chat with owner Kasper Wæhrens for very long before you sense his local pride – Kasper grew up in Tversted and is brimming with ideas and passion to develop the town.
That is why everyone, locals and tourists alike, is warmly welcomed at this cosy campsite, which regularly hosts events – concerts, communal dinners, Friday bars, and cinema nights...
This brings a wonderful buzz for both seasonal regulars and visiting guests, helping secure Kasper the loyal support that comes in handy when competing to become Denmark's best small campsite.
Room for everyone
Tannisby Camping is also a hit with kids and four-legged friends. Kasper has a trusty sidekick in his dog, Emosh, who is a huge favourite among the guests' children.
...and even though the campsite is small, there is a large play area ensuring the little ones never run out of things to do...
Tversted Gin
When we arrive at Tannisby Camping and step into reception, we are amused to see bottles of gin on display. Is this half a reception, half a bar? Not quite, but it turns out he has custom Tversted Gins crafted exclusively for the campsite.

We were lucky enough to sample a few, and the mango flavour is a clear standout. Topped with a bit of tonic, it makes a delightful summer G&T. At just DKK 199 per bottle (at the time of writing), it is an absolute steal! We warmly recommend popping by to grab a bottle or two if you are in Tversted.
A touch of luxury
At Tannisby Camping, Kasper has made it effortless to opt for comfort and convenience if you prefer not to bring your own caravan or tent.
Back in 2018, he became the very first in Denmark to introduce mobile homes to his campsite. This means you can embrace the charm of camping life while still enjoying modern amenities such as a kitchen, shower, and toilet.
These mobile homes offer 36 square metres of space, featuring a private kitchen, bathroom, living area, and bedroom.
