Rock am Ring 2009

[Avnon]

Rock AM is for partying hard, RiP is for bands and a good nights sleep

Im driving from brussels on thurs morning and planning on D9 as that seems to be a "safe" option for thursday camping. Looks on the map like all I have to do is head in from the east and make a right as I enter the grounds. Is it that easy??

Also we have 3 tents, are we gunna get a space together or are we gunna have to split up?

Can't wait for it now, well excited!!

[moistvelvet]

Also gonna be heading from Zeebrugge on thursday morning, gonna have a SatNav with us but is it signposted when you get a bit closer ? Take it its easy enough to get to ?

I'm not really to fussed about camping really close to the arena, main thing is being able to get 4 tents and a gazebo up together, are there attendants that point you to certain car parks / campsites when they get full or do they just leave you to it to sort yourself out ?

[moistvelvet]

Is there much activity after all the bands are finished? like anything else happen like discos etc @ RIP?

[sloaney007]

oh I wish the titty-twister came back

Just look for the Nurburgring GP circuit signs, or just follow any clapped out car with a bending rear axle full of students, pretty easy to find.

Car parks are kind of organised, you'll get some direction of where to park. Camping however is a free for all, grab your tents first and find a plot, get the rest later. The car parks get closed when full, but I have yet to see anyone turned away with a tent in their hand, somewhere there is always a place for a tent or two.

As we answered already before (noit in the FAQ?) the parking lots are right next to the camping sites, so less than a 10 min walk usually. No queues to speak of.

[moistvelvet]

what was the titty-twister? it sounds...interesting.

[moistvelvet]

Good idea with just taking tents first (quickly nash past all the folk dragging massive bags along and get a decent place before tham ! ) how far roughly is it from parking to the campsite ?

Is there usually any queing to get into the campsite, or can you walk back to your car and fetch the rest of your gear without any probs ?

Many thanks

10 mins? Not when someone has packed a suitcase and trying to wheel it in between tents, snagging on every guide line and slipping in the mud, god knows where she thought she was going, perhaps she was a proffesional host-off'er

The car parks get closed when full,

[Squig]

When you enter the car park you get a sticker on your windshield and can then leave and enter as you please. A closed parking lot only means that they don't give out stickers for that one anymore and that new cars won't be allowed on it.

If your mates are on a camping lot but the parking is full you can drive to the entrance, unload your stuff and park your car somewhere else.
