Can you park a motorhome overnight in a car park in Denmark?

Local signs and parking orders decide

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

A motorhome may park in an ordinary car park on the same terms as other motor vehicles. Local parking orders and signs apply and can set time limits, for example no parking between 23.00 and 07.00. There is no general national time limit for how long you may park. Marinas count as ordinary parking unless signs say otherwise, and camping there is only allowed if the marina is marked as a campsite.

Accommodation

Why

  1. Motorhomes are treated like other vehicles in car parks.
  2. Signs can forbid night parking.
  3. Camping in a marina needs a campsite sign.

Details

Campsites are the place where you may both stay overnight and set up tables and benches, just like other camping guests.

Tip

Look for signs to the nearest campsite at marinas, as they are often signposted there.

What may differ

A car park owned by a shop or private company can have its own terms on its signs.

Common misconception

Motorhomes are banned from all Danish car parks at night.

What actually happens

There is no general ban, but local signs can forbid night parking.
