Escape to the rustic charm of our Zzzz Moose Camping Cabins for a unique and comfortable camping experience, where simplicity meets nature.

Nestled close (100 meters) to the breathtaking Atlantic Ocean, our small glamping site offers 4 cabins with each a private 3 pc bathroom located in the detached Comfort station. In 2024 we added a well equipped shared kitchen to the comfort station, exclusively for the Zzzz Moose Camping Cabins.

Enjoy our (rock) beach, allowing you to immerse yourself in the tranquil sounds of the waves and the "singing Pebbles"

The insulated and heated cabins boast a unique design and approach to camping that blend almost seamlessly with the natural surroundings, providing a cozy haven for your camping adventure. Embrace the essence of camping without the frills of luxury, as we prioritize a back-to-basics experience.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoors while still enjoying the comfort of electrical outlets, heating a private bathroom and the use of our shared kitchen.

Whether you're a seasoned camper or new to the outdoor lifestyle, our camping cabins offer a perfect retreat for those seeking a simple and authentic connection with nature.

The Cabins have a shaded deck and private picnic table. Cabin Guests have access to our (Rocky) beach, great for a walk and a campfire in the evening.
