Contemplating Copenhagen

We have been to Denmark a few times, mainly passing through on our way to Norway, but also did a tour there for a few weeks.  We have visited Copenhagen itself 3 times, twice we stayed further out and drove in, the last time we used Camping Absalon, from where you can walk to a station and take a train into the centre.

It was several years back, but I seem to remember they were constructing some dedicated MH pitches near the entrance.  Facilities and pitches were fine, mainly grass if I remember correctly, but I believe it is quite expensive, we were using Camping Cheques.

The other thing I remember is that they had a long lunch time closing, so best to check on that if you intend to go there.

WTG when I visited Copenhagen in our motorhome we stayed at Charlottenlund Fort campsite. Its a short walk to the nearest bus stop and busses are frequent. Its in a lovely area and very popular so if you do decided to use this site I would book your stay.

My notes on the visit are >here<

If you need any translating, I can help with that, but no doubt Google can help.

Looking at the various websites, it does not seem that expensive on sites in Denmark these days compared to CAMC sites, but then we are used to ACSI prices abroad!  There are quite a few ACSI card sites in Denmark.

We like both Denmark and Sweden, but have pretty much ruled out taking the van to the north of Norway (my home place) again, should we actually get abroad again, due to grandparent duties, as it is a long way and much too expensive on a UK pension!

We Scandinavians are all supposed to understand each other, but apparently, according to a radio programme we heard last time we were there, the young people from different countries prefer to communicate in English!

Finland is a case apart, though many Finns do speak Swedish.  I remember the first time we were there, in 1980, we had a puncture on the caravan ( we did have a spare) and a Finnish lorry driver came to our aid with a large jack, he spoke only Finnish.  Then we had to source  a new tyre and the tyre place only spoke Finnish, and this was in Helsinki, it was quite a challenge!

Easier these days I think.

In which ever of the Scandinavian countries I visited in the mid 80s just about everyone we met spoke English and as soon as they realised we were English they all wanted to practice their English too. 

Regarding site prices, if using ACSI, you may well find that electricity is metered on some sites.  Apparently electricity is expensive in Denmark.  Also some sites charge for water for dishwashing, and showers.

We prefer to use our own facilities and heat water on gas if that is the case.

They are also keen on "green taxes"
