First Camp Tempelkrogen – Camping in Scenic Surroundings

Camping life with fjord views near Holbæk

First Camp Tempelkrogen sits on a hilltop at the southern end of Isefjorden, just seven kilometres east of Holbæk. From the site's sloping terrain, a panorama unfolds across the fjord landscape that turns breakfast by the tent into an experience in itself. It is one of the most beautifully located campsites on Zealand, where nature's calm and the fjord's shifting light set the scene for a holiday that is as much about breathing deeply as it is about activities and adventures.

Family-friendly facilities with room to play

At its heart, Tempelkrogen is a family campsite. Children's needs have been considered from start to finish, with playgrounds that challenge the brave, trampolines that send little limbs skyward, and a pool with a waterslide that keeps swimsuits and towels in constant use. Adults can enjoy a quiet moment while the children explore the site, and in the evening the family gathers at the barbecue area under open skies with the fjord as a backdrop. There is also the option to hire canoes and explore the fjord from the waterside, offering a completely different angle on the beautiful coastal landscape.

The site's facilities ensure that everyday comforts are not lost during the holiday. Service buildings with good shower and toilet facilities, a well-stocked camping shop, and a cosy café make life on site convenient and relaxed. For those who prefer a touch more comfort, the site also offers cabins and glamping options, allowing you to enjoy the camping lifestyle without necessarily bringing a tent or caravan.

A landscape that invites exploration

Tempelkrogen's location on Isefjorden and in the Holbæk area makes it an ideal base for excursions across West Zealand. The Fjordstien, one of the region's popular cycling routes, passes close to the site and follows the fjord's coastline through a landscape of fields, meadows, and small villages. The Ice Age Route is another option for those who want to explore the rolling moraine landscape shaped by glaciers thousands of years ago on two wheels.

The town of Holbæk is a short drive away and offers a lively harbour with restaurants, a historic centre with half-timbered houses, and cultural attractions such as Holbæk Museum. From Holbæk you can continue on to Tuse Næs, a tranquil peninsula landscape with villages, farm shops, and views across the fjord. Nature lovers will find ample opportunity for walking in the surrounding forests and along the fjord coast, while those interested in cultural history can visit the area's churches, manor houses, and ancient monuments.
