Camping Blokhus: comparison of the two sites

Blokhus Natur Camping profiles itself with wild nature and simple living, but with modern sanitary facilities in the background. Blokhus By Camping offers the opposite promise: a short walk to the town's restaurants and shops, combined with family-friendly cabins.

The accommodation options differ clearly. Blokhus Nature Camping offers space for your own tent and caravan, as well as nature cabins and safari tents that appeal to guests seeking something more authentic than a standard cabin. Blokhus By Camping focuses on family cabins with private bathrooms and kitchens, which is essential if you are traveling with small children and do not want to share facilities with other guests.

The facilities follow the same pattern. Both sites have service buildings with bathrooms, kitchen access, and playgrounds, but Blokhus By Camping features a swimming pool, while the nature reserve at the other site prioritizes a bonfire hut and more wild vegetation over manicured lawns.

  • Opening hours: Blokhus By Camping is typically open seasonally from spring to October, while Blokhus Natur Camping, according to local overviews, is also open during the winter.
  • Arrival: Blokhus Natur Camping offers free arrival after 2 p.m. 14 and cabin booking from the hour 15, with less reception staff outside the high season.
  • Distance: Blokhus By Camping is close to the beach and the town's life. Blokhus Natur Camping is closer to the dune plantation and the more open landscape.
  • Reviews: Guests often mention René sanitary conditions and a short walking distance to the city and the beach Some of the strongest points of Blokhus By Camping.

How do you choose the right campsite in Blokhus?

The decision depends on who you are traveling with and what you would prefer to avoid worrying about. Here is a prioritized list you can use as a rule of thumb:

  1. Children's ages. Do you have small children, weigh your own bath and kitchen more than the nature experience.
  2. The season. If you travel outside the high season, winter openness and flexible arrival are crucial.
  3. Transport form If you are coming with a camper van, you must secure a spot and power in advance.
  4. Activity level Will you spend the days on the beach and in the city, or hiking in the dunes?
  5. Budget. Nature cabins and safari tents are typically cheaper than a fully equipped family cabin with pool access.

Before you book, you should ask these five questions:

  • Which cabin category do I get exactly, and how many can it sleep?
  • Does the cabin have its own bathroom and kitchen, or do I share with other guests?
  • Can I bring an RV, and is there electricity and water at the site?
  • Are dogs allowed, and is there an extra fee for pets?
  • What are the cancellation policies if the weather or plans change?

If you're only scanning for five things, check: type of accommodation, facilities in the cabin, distance to the beach, seasonal opening, and price for your specific period.

Blokhus has an advantage that many overlook: the sunrise over the beach is almost free of tourists, even in July. Go there early, and you will have the sea to yourself.

The wooded area behind the campsites is designed for hiking, and the routes from here lead further to The Sculpture Park in Blokhus, which is an obvious stop on a morning trip if you are staying at Blokhus Nature Camping.

If you arrive late or outside the high season, self-check-in makes sense. Book early, and ask specifically about the arrival time so you don't end up with a closed reception. Parking is busiest on weekends, so come early on Friday if you want to secure a good spot close to the cabin.
