Located right by the Munich exposition (Messe), in the Riem area, this area works as camping ground every year during the Oktoberfest. It is well connected to the city center, with the subway (U-bahn) station next to it, and 15-20 minutes to the Oktoberfest (with a change at Hauptbahnof). During the Oktoberfest the camp is open 24h and people really come and go at any time. Charge must be paid at arrival, and it's pretty expensive: €35 for the car/tent/caravan/camper including 2 people, and €15 for every extra person (2011 prices). They control inside, so don't try to hide people in the restroom or in bed cause they will find out. Also, every time people get in or out there's someone at the different gates to check you have paid. Campers are really next to each other, leaving very limited space in between, and the ground is really hard and full of stones: be warned if you plan to pitch a tent! There are a couple of areas with restrooms and showers, and usually there's no problem with hot water but you'll have to wait for a long line before having access to your stall. There is also a communal area with food truck, beer taps, a heated tent with tables and benches to enjoy food and beer, and a small bazar selling a few essential grocery. Despite being expensive and crowded the place is friendly, as in the spirit of the Oktoberfest, and it's easy to have good time with other guests. read more
