Primitive accommodation by Horsens Fjord

Approximately 16 kilometers east of Horsens Center (if you follow the popular hiking and cycling routes around Horsens Fjord) lies this peaceful campsite where you can stay for free. Brigsted is peacefully situated and isolated, far from busy roads. The natural campsite itself is located down by the beach at the end of Vorsøvej. However, it is well-sheltered from the wind as the site is well planted.

The campsite covers approximately 1,000 m² and is situated next to the nearby apple orchard. The site features two shelters, each sleeping 5–6 people. The entire campsite is grass-covered, and there is plenty of space for tent camping.

Please note that overnight stays are limited to a maximum of two consecutive nights, whether you stay in a tent or in one of the shelters.

Facilities at the campsite include a campfire area (please note that you must bring your own firewood), picnic tables and benches, a well-maintained toilet building and a drinking water point. The water supply is available from 1 April to 1 October and is closed during the winter season.

Booking

It is free to stay overnight at the site. We recommend booking the shelter in advance. If you have booked in advance, you have first priority. Please be aware that you cannot turn away other guests if there is room for more in the shelters.

You can book the shelter on this page.

About the area

The campsite itself is located about 60 meters from Brigsted Beach, which is covered with small stones. Here, the water is extremely shallow, and when you look out over the water, you see the island of Vorsø in front of you.

The place serves as a crossing point to the island. Please note that it is not allowed to wade to Vorsø without booking a guided tour in advance. Odder Museum and Horsens Museum arrange trips to the island, but you also have the opportunity to book a trip directly through the island's only resident, nature guide Jens Gregersen. Read more about Vorsø on this page.

The nearest shopping opportunity is approximately 2 kilometers away in Søvind. The site is located a few hundred meters from the hiking trail the Fjordmino and functions excellently as a rest stop on the hike around the fjord.
