Bed & Breakfast & Private Rooms
There's a growing number of B&Bs - some are traditional homestay arrangements,
where you stay in the hosts' house, but many more are private rooms in small guest-
houses, where you may share a toilet and kitchen with other guests, or have a studio-
style apartment to yourself.
A great example of this is in Ribe, where 35 private homes rent out rooms and apart-
ments (some of them in beautifully restored old houses).
The number and quality of these places is on the increase. They're often cheaper than a
private room at a hostel or budget hotel, at around Dkr350/600 for a single/double. The
rate generally includes linen but excludes breakfast, which can often be purchased
(around Dkr60 to Dkr70).
Staff at tourist offices maintain lists of B&B options in their area - check the local tourism
websites for links.
Many B&Bs that operate more like small guesthouses are bookable on sites like book-
ing.com.

Camping
Denmark is very well set up for campers, with nearly 600 camping grounds. Some are
open only in the summer months, while others operate from spring to autumn. About 200
stay open year-round (and have low-season rates).
You need a camping card (Dkr110) for stays at all camping grounds. You can buy a card
at the first camping ground you arrive at, at local tourist offices, or from the Danish
Camping Board (see
www.danishcampsites.dk
)
. The cost for an annual pass for couples
is Dkr110; it covers all accompanied children aged under 18.
