3. Prepare for coastal weather.

   • Even on a wind‑sheltered site, bring stable leveling gear and secure any outdoor setups. Coastal conditions can change quickly.

   • Alternate coast days (Rømø) with culture days (Ribe, Tønder, Møgeltønder) to keep your itinerary relaxed and varied.

7. Traveling with a dog?

   • Opt for the fireworks‑free New Year window if your pet is noise‑sensitive, and enjoy low‑key marshland walks straight from the campsite.
