Lystskov Camping & Cottages

There's loads of room for camping and RVs, plus little cottages to rent. Cooking and shower facilities are available, and the toilets were exceptionally clean and hygienic. A great family-friendly getaway, and we'll definitely come back.

We won't be coming back, even though the site has a lot going for it. The one-night camping price was very good, there are plenty of facilities, and the park for kids is great. You can do laundry, use family shower and toilet rooms, kitchens, dishwashing and fish-cleaning sinks, and get electricity and water for caravans. We were placed fairly far inside the site and didn't hear the road. Watch out for huge mosquitoes. There are small shed-like houses and a new static tent that looked very nice. We hadn't booked, but the woman at reception and the grumpy man coming and going let us stay. They told us to pay before leaving the next day and gave us a card advance for laundry and other things, to settle at checkout. The owners, especially the man, were extremely rude. Our kids were washing dishes with cold water using the free-flow taps. He shouted at them, grabbed our wok roughly, and pretended to wash it quickly. Then he came to our van and yelled at us for the kids using too much water and taking too long, saying we could leave. He also made a comment about us coming from Lanzarote and whether we'd expect that there. I took the kids back to the van before they'd finished. He came over again and made my husband and me look at the 'mess', which was just a few soap suds. The kids went back to clean it up and finish at the other sinks, using as little water as possible. They said he'd also been telling other campers about them. In the morning shower I was very conscious of the four minutes of hot water, and that the owner was checking when I came out to see if I'd cleaned up. Checkout was at noon, and we'd been told the previous day to pay as we left. At 11, while we were packing, the female owner marched over shouting and asking if we were staying another night. We said no, but she ordered us to come to reception and pay right then. That meant we couldn't use the card if we wanted to shower or use the kitchen. We should apparently have paid as soon as the sun was up. This could be an amazing campsite, but the owners' attitude toward foreigners and children was awful. I don't know if it was because we're not from Denmark, because our kids do chores, or because shouting at people is normal there, but I won't return unless their attitude changes.

We stayed one night in a cabin and it was fine. The main road is close, so it can be noisy, though traffic was light at night and it didn't bother us then. Showers and bed sheets cost extra, so plan for that. There's a playground for kids, and trails nearby for walks in the forest or out to the beach.

A cosy little campsite right by the forest. We stayed in a cabin and liked it.
