DCU-Camping København – Absalon

The pitches are sufficiently large. Fresh rolls and groceries for daily needs available in the shop. But: The few showers are a disaster and unacceptable. Mold on the walls, fixtures, and floor. Not only visible - you can smell it immediately upon entering the shower. This wasn't mold that just appeared in the last few days. When my shower curtain fell on the floor, I saw upon picking it up the floor of the neighboring shower. It was completely covered in mold. Moreover, the water temperature is not adjustable and the shower time is set extremely short. An insult for the price - not recommended.

Good place, but the sanitary area is subpar.

We really enjoyed this campsite! The staff at the reception and in the small shop were very friendly and the service house was very clean. We stayed here for three nights to explore the city and then continue on toward Norway.

The campsite is very well maintained and well laid out. Good straight pitches. Not too close together and plenty of space. We visited the city by bike, which is quite easy due to the good bike paths. Copenhagen is a cycling city. We were warned at check-in that e-bikes are often stolen. We have regular bikes and secured them well. The sanitary facilities are a bit older, but they were very clean. Overall, a good place in my opinion. You can hear some traffic from the highway.

The location of the site is really good, very close to Copenhagen and the playground on the site. However, you can hear the nearby highway in the background. The sports equipment was defective, the chessboard no longer exists. We had a cabin for 5 nights. Everything has become outdated and the cleanliness was mediocre. Dirty refrigerator, dirty dishes. Broken TV, mediocre Wi-Fi. But that wasn't the real issue. Rather, the size of the beds: Length 1.90 with walls above and below, feet couldn't hang out - but you could step over the person in front. In the second room with bunk beds, the beds, on the other hand, are extremely narrow, so they are only suitable for smaller children. Or again not, because there is no fall protection.

Easy online booking; good facilities on site (kiosk, roll service); toilets clean and sufficiently present, not so much for the showers: not clean, almost no water coming from the shower heads and too few in number; spaces large and flat; S-Bahn station about 15 minutes on foot with direct connection to Copenhagen HBF; notice at reception upon arrival that E-bikes are increasingly being stolen -> possibility to include the bikes in the 'workshop' of the campsite or precise suggestions on how they should be stored (remove batteries, secure to the car with locks); nothing happened to us

The campsite offers a good base for visiting Copenhagen by train. The reception was rather hectic and cool. When we wanted to extend our stay by one night and communicated this via email - as requested by the site - we didn't even receive a reply! Professionalism is something else. Regarding bicycle thefts: the site denies any responsibility! At night, thieves can easily access the area. When we left, a police patrol was just entering the site. The sanitary facilities are outdated but clean and are regularly maintained. Unfortunately, a family toilet/shower is missing.

I can only agree with Patrick's assessment - the site and the sanitary areas are generously and well-maintained, we initially thought it was perfect for a city visit. However, when a 300cc scooter was stolen next to our motorhome at night, the operators showed absolutely no interest. Considering that the camping area is fenced in, equipped with a barrier and cameras, and the scooter was locked and difficult to move, this does suggest certain conclusions!!! One would have to push it 200 meters through the fenced area first. So utmost caution is advised!! Since this apparently is not an isolated case, it is actually not a place suitable for ADAC recommendations.
