Tucked away on the idyllic northeast coast in Denmark, Glamping Skovgaardsminde offers a break from our busy lives. A place made for slow living, deep breaths, and presence. It is an experience that stays with you long after you have packed your bags and waved goodbye.

When Lisanne and Karina Metselaar Brorsen moved from Copenhagen to Northern Jutland in 2020, they did not plan to open one of Denmark’s most renowned glamping spots. However, life and lockdown happened, and before the couple knew it, they were offering glamping. A glamping spot that has become so beloved that it was awarded Denmark’s second-best glamping destination in 2025.

From the outset, Karina and Lisanne wanted to create a place with heart and soul. “It has to feel personal, authentic, and cosy. A place where you notice the details and feel cared for,” says Karina. Each tent is styled with intention, combining simple pleasures with just enough comfort: real beds, soft lighting, and a space to breathe.

Slow living, beautifully done

At the heart of the glamping experience at Skovsgaardsminde is a commitment to slow living. “Nature slows you down, from boiling water for a cup of coffee over a fire to biking to the beach. Suddenly you have more time to talk and notice all the little things,” smiles Lisanne.

Complimentary bikes are provided, which guests can use to bike to the beach, forest, town or wherever the wheels take them. There are also walking and hiking trails galore; from the tents, a path leads to Hou Plantation and connects with the North Sea Trail.

Glamping Skovgaardsminde has a wood-fired sauna to offer guests, too, which is perfect for rainy afternoons or quiet evenings. “We provide the wood, and people can fire up the sauna themselves. It’s about taking your time when you’re staying here – that’s the magic of this place,” says Lisanne.

Everything at Glamping Skovgaardsminde is made with the utmost care, from curated packages and homemade food to welcome emails full of local tips. “We have put our hearts into this. Guests tell us that it feels like stepping into someone’s home, and that means the world to us,” says Karina.

And if you visit Glamping Skovgaardsminde on a Sunday – or you are simply in the area – do not deprive yourself of a visit to the cosy farm café. Enjoy a cup of coffee and a delicious sourdough bun while taking in the beautiful surroundings. What could possibly be more wholesome than that?
