Magical holiday experiences await you and your family

Birkhede Camping is unique in every way - a gem in The Danish Lakelands. We are located in the middle of a protected, hilly and very beautiful Ice Age landscape, surrounded by heather hills, forests and lakes and with direct access to Lake Knudsø, the Silkeborg Lakes and Gudenåen, Denmark's longest river.

At Birkhede Camping you can go for hikes and walks in the surrounding forests, sailing trips on the Gudenå, fun water activities on Knudsø, enjoy a summer day by the pool and much, much more.
