Oktoberfest campsites

Hi all, I'll be drivin from berlin to munich for the second weekend of the oktoberfest. That will be the first week of four months in Germany for me and being a beer-loving canadian, I can't wait to be there. I'm looking for a place to set my tent around munich. I can't really afford a hotel, and hostels seem to be full.

Can anyone help?
Ciao!
Matthiew

Hi.

There is a somewhat cramped campsite in Allach. We drive past it on the way to Pflanzen Kölle.

Katrina would you know its locational details?

Yeah, that is the only one I have seen as well. It is I think:

Lochhausener Strasse 59, 81247 München,
(At the beginning of the Autobahn to Stuttgart)
phone: +49 89 8112235,
fax: +49 89 8144807,
Open from March 15th to 31th October

The one at Thalkirchen seems to be a better bet!!!

München Thalkirchen Camping Ground
Municipal camp site,
Zentralländstrasse, 81379 München,
phone: +49 89 7231707,
fax: +49 89 7243177
opened between 15th March and 31th October.

Wies'n Camp

Oktoberfest accommodation for backpackers and low budget tourists.

This is the Oktoberfest campsite full of pissed-up Aussies. Yet it's safe and quiet because they have good security patrols.



Campsite at the Olympic Horse Stadium in Munich-Riem. It is 20 minutes travel time from the Oktoberfest. Take the S-Bahn S6 (metro train) from the Oktoberfest site (station 'Hackerbrücke') in the direction 'Erding' or 'Markt Schwaben' and exit the train at 'Riem'. Then follow signs for 'Wiesncamp'. Train journey 10 min, 5 mins walk at each end.

You can rent 1 tent (including up to 4 persons) per night for €45 from Sunday to Thursday or €55 on Friday and Saturday. They take a deposit of €50 per tent which you get back at departure if the tent is not damaged. The fee includes restrooms and hot showers. Breakfast, food, and drinks are extra and the car park is €8 per night.

Single travellers are supposedly forbidden from sharing a tent with other single travellers met at the site. But I guess they can't enforce that if you pretend to be old friends.

Damn, for that price why camp at all. There is a hotel around the corner that will give you breakfast (halbpension) for that price, that is if you can get up early enough after partying all night!
Hell, I have a spare bed I might rent out for that price and you can cook your own breakfast when you do decide to get up

Jeremy,
I do know quite a few things but camping is a blind spot for me.
The only tents I've ever been in sell beer.
Mind you if Matthiew is remotely handsome (or not picky), why will he need a tent?

Eurovol,
Thanks a lot for the offer, thats really appreciated. The only thing is that I'll be going with a friend of mine (we'll be coworkers in Potsdam). So since I still have lots to learn about Germany that be real great to know some people there already.

As for Katrina and Jeremy, thanks for the tips. I hope I'll get to party with some of you guys! And by the way, any other places you recommend are worth seeing in Munich?

During Oktoberfest?

No.

Excatly what I wanted to hear, thanks Sparty.

On one of my leisurely, low impact, bike rides I passed the
campsite Thalkirchen (U3 Thalkirchen, Bus 57) today.

All quiet before the storm, big "reserved" signs in English, camper vans lined up.

anyone know of a campsite near Nymphenburger Schloss, some 'friends' turned up on my doorstep this morning at 7am. what tram stop is it at.

edit : found this one... http://www.the-tent.com/ at the botanischer gartens.

There is also another proper campsite up in Obermenzing. Campingplatz Obermenzing

I was thinking about staying at Thalkirchen. Does anybody know if you need to make a reservation or if you can just drop in?

thanks

hi Rigergitate,
I'm heading over to munich for Ofest too. I checked Thalkirchen about a month ago for accommodation and they had nothing apart from space for a tent (if you bring your own!).
AFAIK its jsut a first come first served basis, but you may wanna ring and check.
Its a good buzz staying there, even it is a litttle out from the centre of Munich
