First Camp Ajstrup Strand

Lovely family-friendly campsite with a fine bathing beach at the Danish east coast, close to Aarhus and the many attractions of Eastern Jutland. Ajstrup Beach is located next to cosy marina Norsminde with lots of atmosphere and activity during the summer period.

Wonderful camping holiday at the coast

First Camp Ajstrup Strand is located peacefully behind a fine sandy beach but still far away, and you can benefit from the many holiday experiences available at Denmarks East Coast.

This modern campsite has 350 units and fine, renovated facilities. You can opt to sleep in your own caravan, motorhome, or tent. Alternatively, you can rent one of the 26 wooden cabins of different sizes, all with their own kitchen and patio with garden furniture. Some of them also have bathroom and toilet.

The site has two large service buildings with excellent kitchen- and bath facilities, and a separate children’s section with children’s toilets, children’s wash basins etc.

Whichever type of accommodation you choose, you get access to all the camp site’s facilities.

Entertainment and activities

The fine sandy beach right outside the door is a major plus that attracts many visitors who take to water like ducks. But in the case that the Norse weather God Thor is playing tricks on you, the campsite has a large, roofed pool with heated water. The pool is 24 metres long and 9 metres wide and has an appertaining smaller children’s pool and a play castle. If you are in the mood for pampering, you can get comfortable in the jacuzzi and have champagne served by the pool.

Everyone can use the indoor pool – also guests. If you book accommodation at the site, you can use the pool at half price.

The site also has a miniature golf course and a big playground.

Events are frequently organized over the course of the year. For example, kayak courses for beginners, foodtrucks at the site or pop-up shops.

Camping all year

The Danish east coast is worth a visit all four seasons. From April till September, you get full access to all the facilities. During the winter half-year, it is still possible to stay at First Camp Ajstrup Strand. Winter camping is offered via self-service. In this period, you can sleep in your own caravan as well as cabins.

The holiday area around Ajstrup

It is easy to get to Ajstrup Beach due to its central location is Eastern Jutland. From here, many experiences are within short reach. The site is only 15 kilometres from Aarhus. If you like hiking, then we recommend that you walk to Aarhus along the coast and through the forest and take the bus back.

The little marina Norsminde, 1.5 kilometres from Ajstrup, is a popular haven when the sun is shining. Here, you can enjoy a cold ice-cream at the waterfront, one of the popular fish cakes from the fishmonger, or enjoy a good meal at the historic Norsminde Kro.

Only a short distance away, the best beach on the east coast Saksild Beach and the charming harbour town Hou with ferry links to the islands Tunø and Samsø are calling for you. And the small city of Odder offers a surprisingly vibrant centre with many shops and good restaurants.
