Bryrup Camping: The best pitches for your holiday

Some holidays begin best with coffee in silence. Quieter areas, typically a bit farther from the busiest zones, suit anyone who prioritises nature, shelter from wind and a more tucked-away camping feel.

This is where you often get the “private terrace” feeling: a place to sit long after dinner without lots of foot traffic. It’s a great match for couples, friend groups and families with older kids who don’t need to be within eyesight of the playground.

The trade-off is more walking to facilities. That can be a bonus if you like a natural rhythm of small walks around the site. But if you know you’ll go back and forth ten times a day, a more central pitch may keep the holiday smoother.

Motorhome holidays often centre on freedom and simplicity. That’s why it makes sense to choose an area with smooth access and easy movement, both on arrival and when heading out for day trips.

The best motorhome pitch isn’t always the most “romantic”. It’s functional: good manoeuvring space, practical day-to-day flow and a base that makes spontaneous trips to Silkeborg, the lakes or even Aarhus feel effortless.

If you’re travelling with kids, it can be worth prioritising closeness to activities over absolute quiet. The motorhome quickly becomes the family hub, and it’s nice when the pool doesn’t feel like an expedition.

For tent and caravan campers, “best pitches” often comes down to three things: shelter, ground conditions and proximity to what you use most. Some prefer being close to service buildings so showers and washing up are quick. Others would rather choose a quieter corner for extra calm in the evening.

If you’re a tent family, picture your daily routine: will you return to the pitch mid-day to relax, or is it mainly a place to sleep while the day happens out on trails and by the water?

Caravans offer comfort and flexibility, but it still matters whether you’re close to children’s activities or you have more open space and views. If the awning-and-outdoor-living vibe is a big part of your holiday, “pitch feel” often matters more than the last 50 metres to facilities.

When you choose a more comfortable accommodation type, “best” shifts from pure location to the overall experience. Privacy, a layout that works and the ability to switch into holiday mode fast matter more than a few minutes’ walk.

For families, a cabin or rental unit can be the easy option: camping atmosphere, but with a more manageable everyday setup. For couples and friend groups, glamping is a strong choice if you want nature close, but still want good sleep and a relaxed morning.

Here the trade-off is typically price versus comfort. But you save time, and time quickly becomes more holiday: more trips, more rest and less logistics.

The Bryrup area is ideal if you like being active outdoors. If you bring bikes or an MTB, it can help to choose a location that makes it feel easy to set off and easy to return.

It’s not only about distance. It’s about rhythm. When you can roll out without crossing the entire site, it becomes easier to say “just one more ride”. And after a long day in forest and hills, it’s nice to come back to an area calm enough for tired legs to truly rest.

If you’re travelling with active adults and kids who mainly want the pool, aim for a realistic compromise: not right in the centre, but not so far out that it becomes annoying. Often, the best pitch is the one that makes it easy to say yes to both a bike ride and a pool session on the same day.

It depends on season and what you mean by “best”. School holiday weeks and popular long weekends book up early, especially if you want a specific pitch type or accommodation.

If you can travel outside the most pressured weeks, you usually get more choice and a calmer overall atmosphere. On the other hand, many families want peak season because it brings more life, more playmates and that classic holiday buzz.

Start by deciding what would annoy you most if you “choose wrong”. Evening noise? Too long a walk to the pool? Not being able to sit undisturbed by your caravan?

Once you know your limit, the choice becomes surprisingly simple. Many people want everything, but the best holidays often come from prioritising what makes your trip easiest: short distances for small children, calm for light sleepers, or functionality for motorhome life.

Want to keep it simple? Book with Bryrup Camping and choose the pitch type that matches your pace. The holiday often begins the moment you hit “reserve”.

Think about your “clock-time holiday”. Are you early birds who love quiet mornings, or the type who settles down late? The best location is the one that fits your natural rhythm, so you don’t feel like you have to adapt all the time.

When your pitch matches the way you actually live, it becomes easier to be present. And that’s usually where a holiday feels most like a holiday.
