On Saturday and Sunday morning we will serve breakfast from one of the stalls. You can sit and enjoy it there or take it back to your camping spot of course. Seats are available there to enjoy a proper diner of choice.

There will be NO camping on Sunday - Monday night.
We advise you to book a camping or hotel in the area if your planning to drive home on Monday.

There are two types of camping grounds. We will try to make one aircooled VW camping ground and will have a separate camping for big new type of Campers, RVs, modern-cars with Caravans etc.
We do this, as these new vehicles are more heavy, and the space will place them on has a gravel, harder surface. This is a static camping ground, so please no driving once you set up.

See the ground-map to locate the camping-grounds.
