Welcome to Birkelund Camping & Outdoor. A campsite where I offer unique overnight stays in original Kyrgyz yurts, flying tents, an "upcycled" cabin and a wilderness shelter.
My focus for the place is sustainability, biodiversity and good experiences for my guests.
There is access to a toilet and shower. There is a ball field and a playground. Dogs are allowed.
- Little Kyrgyzstan with the original Kyrgyz yurts
Overnight in an original Kyrgyz yurt added modern conveniences such as a good bed, fridge and electric light. The yurt is heated with a small stove. It keeps a nice warmth on a winter day.
A yurt is a hemispherical felt tent used by nomads on the steppes of Central Asia. Yurts are common in Mongolia, Western China, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Afghanistan.
Most people know Mongolian yurts. However, our Yurts are Kyrgyz. Yurts are so widespread in Kyrgyzstan that the ceiling ring of a yurt is depicted in the center of the Kyrgyz flag. The ceiling ring on the flag is encircled by 40 sun rays, which symbolize the 40 tribes that are combined to form one state.
Each yurt can accommodate four people, as well as a child in a weekend bed. There is a cozy dining area and an interim kitchen with a fridge and gas stove. Plates, cutlery, pots, pans and other kitchen equipment. Outside, you will find a large fire pit where you can grill and enjoy a bonfire.
Bring your own duvets, pillows and bedding or sleeping bags.
- The Flying Tents
Get your day off to a flying start when you wake up to a new day. Overnight in a flying tent. The tent hangs between three trees floating under the large beech crowns. "The Flying Tent" has room for 3 people.
A unique experience for hikers and cyclists, as well as for the outdoor enthusiast who has tried most things. Cozy for the small family - the children think it's "cool" to spend the night floating a few meters above the ground.
When you approach the tent, it most looks like a UFO about to land. The tent is triangular and measures more than 4 m at each joint, so there is plenty of room for three adults or two adults and two children. The tent carries a whopping 400 kg.
The tents hang at a height of approximately 1.8 metres; to get into the tent, you step on two wooden stumps, put your bum on the edge of the tent floor, and swing your legs up. Be aware that the smallest children must be helped up and down. When you lie down in the tent, you basically lie down like in a hammock.
"The flying tent" hangs in a discreet corner under large beech trees bordering an old garden. The foliage must be lifted up, and you must be shown the way to find your way to the Flying Tent. The campsite is close to the cycle path, so it is obvious to arrive by bicycle. A cozy camp site has been made below the tent. You can prepare your meals over the campfire.
If you are inexperienced in primitive camp life, you can rent a camp tool box with the necessary equipment. In the box there is, among other things, the large black African pot on three legs. It is easy to place in the fire. And with plenty of space for the whole family's favorite stew. There are no eating utensils in the camp utensil box.
You must bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat.
- The Upcycling Hut
The cabin is an upcycling project. Previously, the building was only a shed for storage - now it has become a cozy and comfortable overnight cabin.
99% of the materials used for the renovation are either recycled materials or self-produced planks. The planks with which the roof and walls are covered are sawn from trees that have stood on the site, thus the CO2 emission in connection with transport is eliminated. Inside, the walls have been renovated with faulty cupboard doors.
The floor has previously been in a sports hall in Aarhus; the men's national team in handball has trained on it.
The furniture is also recycled and upcycled.
At the hut you will find a campfire with benches and a table, and in the hut you will find an axe, pots etc. for primitive camp life. Live the cozy primitive camp life around the campfire and go to bed in a warm and soft bed. Bring your own bed linen and/or sleeping bag.
There is no power outlet and WiFi coverage here. Forget time and place without being online.
The cabin can be used in both winter and summer. In the colder months, you can switch on the heat pump, which heats up the cabin very well.
WC and shower are approximately 50 meters from the cabin.
- The wilderness shelter
Completely unique shelter, which is located in a cheeky corner of the plot. Definitely the right choice for the beginner.
The shelter is comfortably furnished with reindeer skins and hooks made of antlers. The wood-burning stove is the ideal place to put the pot of evening coffee. In the morning there will be no discussion about who has to get out of the sleeping bag to make coffee - the maneuver can be done from the sleeping bag.
Fire pit and table-bench set at the shelter.
Firewood can be found in the sheltered fence or can be purchased separately. Camp tool box with axe, saw, pots, pan and some kitchen utensils can be rented.
We are located a short distance from Skjern Å - come and catch a salmon.
The area offers plenty of opportunities for wonderful walks in Skjern Enge.
I LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOME YOU!

With me you can find accommodation in a traditional shelter, in the Flying Tent, in the cabin "The 8th Wonder" or maybe an original Kyrgyz yurt? The cottage and the yurt can also be rented in the winter. During the winter months, the shelter is free to use.
I have a broad experience in outdoor life. Today I own Birkelund Camping & Outdoor, which I am trying to pull in a new exciting direction.
Skjern Å offers fantastic salmon fishing.
Hiking in Skjern Enge is always magnificent.
Storegade 16 - 18 (about one and a half kilometers from the square) is run by two local women. Here you get hand-turned ceramics and recycled yarn.
The local pubs near the train station.
We recommend "Stuen th" approximately 7 km from the square in the neighboring town of Skjern.
