Hi,

A group of us (stag do) are planning on heading to the Nurburgring 24Hr race in June 2019 and looking for advice on where to stay, camping, motorhomes etc...?

Where's the best place to stay around the track / best campsite?

Are there any places that offer glamping (pre erect tents oh err) type thing?

If you take a campervan, are there any places for elec/water hook ups?

Generally any hints and tips for the weekend much appreciated!

Thanks

You would need to get there days early,l think Glastonbury. There are tons of places to camp, either trackside, or close by, its surrounded in many wyas by public roads.

It's raucous, noisy, not much in terms of facilities trackside, and the weather might be awful.

We did it last year, found a house in Adenau that slept around 15 of us (I think the hotels get booked up with teams)

It was a good fun event, we were lucky that a couple of people would drive during the day as that meant you could get a few places that were a track on foot.

The pits and paddock are pretty busy before the race, so worth going for a wander around there, we then went to the first few corners of the nordschleife for the parade laps and start. weather was good so walked down though the camp sites and kept going until be got back to Adenau, a bit of Dinner and then walked back up to watch at night with some liquid refreshments.

There's loads of Bitburger bars and toilets dotted around the popular viewing areas.
