Here at Lake Sorø, the forest meets the water. One moment you’re walking through the trees, the next you’re looking out over the lake.

Beautiful, small, well-maintained campsite. Perfect as a starting point for tours in and around Sorø. There are small cabins for non-campers that can accommodate up to 6 people. A children's playground and a lovely terrace. There's a small shop and a café with hot and cold meals at the reception. You can buy everything you need in the shop. The prices for drinks, ice cream, and food are absolutely fair and even surprised us a little.
