DCU-Odense City Camp

Odense

LoginSave

This neat camping ground with hedge-divided plots lies near a wooded area with walking and cycling paths, 4km south of central Odense (not far from Den Fynske Landsby).

There's a TV lounge and outdoor swimming pool (June to August), plus kids’ amusements (mini-golf 20kr), but wi-fi costs a cheeky 25/100kr per day/week extra, and some prices in the little shop seem disproportionately high. There are also two types of cabins. The cheaper ones share the campers' washing facilities and sheets cost 70kr per person extra. Bigger ones are en suite with linen included in the price.
