Your indoor basecamp: the free communal kitchen

The communal kitchen is the heart of easy mealtimes at Ballum Camping. It’s free to use and fully geared for everyday cooking.

What you’ll find inside

• Cookers for stovetop meals
• A micro-oven for reheating and simple baking
• Pans, dishes, and cutlery

• A dishwasher
• A freezer and refrigerator you can use for free

With this setup, you can cook complete meals without bringing bulky gear. Use the fridge/freezer to keep ingredients fresh and store leftovers for the next day’s adventures.

Smart ways to use the shared kitchen

• Pack a compact “kitchen kit”: tea towels, resealable bags/containers, and your favorite spices.
• Do quick prep in off-peak times to avoid queues and keep mealtimes relaxed.
• Clean as you go to keep the space tidy and ready for fellow campers.

Wash up without hassle: outdoor dishwashing stations

Prefer to do dishes in the open air? The outdoor kitchen area includes a free dishwasher dedicated to washing up. It’s perfect after a barbecue or a big family meal.

• Rinse and scrape plates before loading to speed cycles.
• Batch washing after meals saves time and helps everyone move smoothly through the space.

Grill together on the covered terrace

When you want the flavor of a cookout without worrying about the weather, head to the covered outdoor terrace. Here, you can grill and enjoy your meal together in a comfortable, sheltered space.

• Ideal for family-style dinners or casual group gatherings.
• Combine with the communal kitchen for sides and sauces, then finish everything on the grill.

Cabin cooking: private convenience with a real kitchen

If you like the ease of a private setup, the rustic wooden cabins offer peace, privacy, and everything you need to cook comfortably.

What cabin kitchens include

• Kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, filter coffee machine, electric kettle, boiling plates, cutlery, pots and pans, and running cold water
• Garden furniture for outdoor dining
• A barbecue

Electricity use is included, and you can use all campsite facilities, including toilets and showers. Bring your own bedlinen or rent it on site (use of bedlinen is mandatory). Arrival is after 14:00, departure before 11:00.

Best for: Travelers who want a self-contained space and the flexibility to cook anytime without sharing a kitchen.

Luxury tents: safari‑style comfort with built‑in cooking and a barbecue

Included in every luxury tent

• Mobile kitchen unit with gas hob
• Fridge
• Filter coffee maker and kettle

Best for: Families and friends who want to cook and grill with minimal packing and maximum comfort.

For pitches and campervans: flexible cooking with reliable power

If you’re on a camping pitch or a mobile home pitch, you can pair your own gear with the campsite’s shared facilities for a complete cooking setup.

• Camping pitches provide a 10 Amp power socket. Water taps are located at the start of each pitch row.
• Tent field spots are available, and electricity consumption is calculated per kWh by means of a mobile power meter (you can also stay without electricity).
• Mobile home pitches offer 10 Amp power, central water taps, a service area for refilling and emptying tanks, and a quiet, sheltered location.

Pro tip: Use the communal kitchen for stovetop cooking and the covered terrace for grilling, then enjoy your meal back at your pitch.

Don’t feel like cooking? Fresh bread, pizza, and more on site

You’re always welcome at reception, where the adjacent shop serves various foods and ice cream. For easy mornings, you can order fresh bread through the app. And when a no-cook evening sounds perfect, order pizza daily from Easter until the end of September.

If you’re staying in a holiday home in the Ballum region, you’re also welcome to stop by for these on‑site conveniences.

Bonus spaces for mealtime: There’s a living room and a lounge where you can read, play games, or eat—great for unfriendly weather or relaxed evenings.

Campfire moments: bake baguettes at the fire pit

For a cozy, social treat, gather at the fire pit—here, baguettes are baked together on the campfire. It’s a simple pleasure that pairs perfectly with starry skies and a warm drink.
