Hjarnø Tent Site

Free tenting at Denmark’s second-smallest church

Quite near the harbour is Hjarnø Tent Site which is a large meadow. It is a large, open space with a bonfire pit. Getting to the site is easy as it can be access from both water and land. The site is located next to Hjarnø Kirke which is Denmark’s second-smallest church and Hjarnø Odder where there is a nice beach.

Free site for outdoor guests

The campsite is reserved for hikers, cyclists and kayakers, so please leave your car on the mainland. Overnight stays are free of charge – in return, facilities are limited.

Toilet and water facilities are available nearby at the church and the harbour, located 300 metres away. Groceries can be purchased at Hjarnø Camping, one kilometre from the site.

The campsite is not intended for large groups, and quiet must be observed – meaning that music and parties are not permitted.

Motorists and larger groups are referred to the island’s campsite, Hjarnø Camping.

The site is located on private land, so please respect the owner’s rules for use of the campsite. If in doubt, you are advised to contact the owner in advance.

Experience Hjarnø

Hjarnø is a small island in Horsens Fjord with lots of beautiful nature and a cosy island atmosphere. The island is quite close to the mainland and the boat trip from Snaptun takes only 5 minutes. There are more than 30 daily ferry departures which means that you can just turn up at the harbour and catch the next ferry. It is possible to combine the visit with a trip to the neighbouring island of Alrø via the small bicycle ferry that sails during the summer season. At Hjarnø, you find eateries and good opportunities for hiking in peaceful nature.

Finding your way to the site

From the harbour, turn right along Østre Kirkevej and walk towards the church. Here, you find the large meadow. Approximately 100 metres on the other side of the church, you find the gallery Galleri Kirkesvinget. Feel free to knock on the door and ask, if you have any questions.
