Yes - one of the things many people look forward to is the coziness around the fire. For us, cooking over a campfire is the epitome of slow living. If you're not used to cooking over a campfire, you'll find that you need to be both creative and patient. In return, we imagine that the food tastes a little better. 

Of course, you can also avoid cooking over a campfire by purchasing our Tapas appetizer or bringing your own dinner that doesn't need cooking. 

All tents are equipped with plates, cutlery, cups, water glasses and wine glasses for 4 people. In addition, there are cutting boards, knives, wine openers, potato peelers, can openers, bowls, egg cups etc.

For cooking over a fire, we have 1 pan, 2 pots, a grill grate and various tongs. 

So we've made sure there's equipment for simple cooking. If you know in advance that you need something specific, we recommend that you bring it yourself.

At Glamping Skovgaardsminde, guests do their own dishes. Since we're in the middle of nature, insects and animals can easily get into the tent when there are dirty dishes and leftover food.
For the same reason, we also encourage you to think about what food you bring into the tent.

You'll find everything you need to wash up in the campsite. Dishwashing tub, brush and soap, as well as a tea towel and a cloth. The water for the dishes can be heated over a fire.

All camps have their own primitive toilet. This is a classic camping toilet where you open the door to a tank and pump water in yourself. Toilet paper is thrown in the trash bin located in the toilets.

You wash your hands outside at a water dispenser. There is hand soap and hand sanitizer at all toilets.

Yes - We have a cold water outdoor shower that can be used by everyone. It's a great experience to take a shower in the open air. It's located close to our sauna, so feel free to take a cold rinse in between your sauna session.

Towels can be purchased at the time of booking. You are welcome to bring your own towels.

Yes - The sauna at Glamping Skovgaardsminde is free to use. The sauna is wood-fired and guests are responsible for lighting the fire themselves. It heats up in less than an hour, so turn it on a little before you need it. Firewood for the sauna is included. 

Towels can be purchased at the time of booking. You are also welcome to bring your own towels.

No - As part of the Glamping experience, we have duvets and pillows for everyone and everything is made up for you when you arrive. 

Yes - You are welcome to bring your own drinks and food to Glamping Skovgaardsminde. 

If you want it easy and delicious, you can buy both a large and small fire pit, where we have gathered some of our popular options. 

In your tent you'll also find a minibar with a variety of drinks.

Yes, all tents have padlocks so you can lock up after yourselves. It may seem silly to lock a tent, but from an insurance perspective, your stuff should have been locked up in case of an accident.

We do not recommend children under the age of 12 at Glamping Skovgaardsminde. We don't have a playground or other activities for children, as we specialize in tranquility, presence and nature, which caters to a more adult audience. However, we know that every family is different, so if the children thrive without a playground or power to charge the iPad, we can still offer the forest in the backyard and the beach which is only 2 km away.

By default, our tents are for 2 people, but you can opt for up to 2 extra beds in each tent. We make up with box mattresses so that everyone at Glamping gets the full experience. The price for extra beds is incl. breakfast.

No - we don't have heating in our tents, but instead we've provided some really nice thermal blankets to keep you warm at night.

No - Our tents are sustainable and unpowered.

Food is stored in the coolers in the tent. If you have booked more than one night, you will receive new freezer elements every day.

The string lights in the tents are solar-powered and there are candles to keep you cozy. If you need power for your phone, you can rent a power bank during your stay.

No - There is no drinking water at the tents.

Each tent is provided with 20 liters of water for cooking and washing up. If you have booked more than one night, you will receive 20 liters of water every day. 

No - But there is a cool box with freezer elements. If you have booked more than one night, you will receive new freezer elements every day.

No - we do not have Wifi in the tents, but we hope you will look forward to a "digital detox" and enjoy a nature experience in each other's company far away from everyday electronic devices. 🙂

No - All tents are provided with a box of firewood and if you want more firewood, it is possible to buy it out here. If you have booked more than one night, you will receive a box of firewood every day.

No - unfortunately, dogs and other pets are not allowed at Glamping Skovgaardsminde.

Yes - Your family or friends are welcome to stop by for a meal or a glass of wine. They don't have to pay anything to come and visit you, but we hope that you will respect the rules and consideration for our other glamping guests. If you want extra beds in the tent, please book in advance.

We wish we could guarantee all our guests sunshine and cloudless skies, but rain and wind are unfortunately just part of the summer package in Denmark - but sometimes it's not so bad. It can actually be extremely cozy to lie under a warm duvet while you can hear the rain on the tent canvas.

We also see year after year that guests can easily cook over a campfire even if it rains. We have some large parasols in the camp and if it's not windy, you can actually sit under them and still eat outside in the warm summer weather. There's also a café set with a table and chair for 2 people inside the tent where you can retreat inside. 

You also have the option to purchase our Tapas Dish, which doesn't need to be cooked over a campfire and is perfect if you just want to spend time by yourself inside the tent anyway.

We value the good experience very highly, so if the weather is not with you, you can take advantage of our weather guarantee.
It is included in your stay. The weather guarantee means that you can move your stay to another available date if the weather forecast exceeds a certain amount of wind or rain. It is 100% up to the guests themselves to make use of the weather guarantee in time, unless there are extreme weather conditions where stays have to be canceled.

There are two beautiful beaches just 2 km from Glamping Skovgaardsminde. Hou Nordstrand and Hou Sydstrand are located on either side of Hou's cozy harbor. Bikes are included in your stay and it doesn't take much more than 10 minutes to cycle to both. 

Between Hou and Hals there is a 10 km stretch of coastline with several well-known beaches. Among them is Bisnap Strand, which has been named one of Denmark's best beaches for several years in a row. 

Take advantage of the calm waters with a SUP ride, which you can rent during your stay. 

The large Hou Forest is just 200 meters down the dirt road from your Glamping tents. There is a rich wildlife in the area and you won't have to look long before you spot a pheasant, a hare or a deer. Or if you're lucky you might spot an owl, a woodpecker or a fox.

"Fantastic place where it is possible to experience time standing still."
