First of all: Check out the fun we had last year: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLnFiUaOV6x/?igsh=MWIwNWhqMnlmZ3h2dQ== This year most people might be at the camp Thursday until Sunday, but there is the option to stay longer... Directly after this camping event there will be the Big Franconian Meeting (Thursday at Bamberg and Friday until Sunday at Nuremberg), so try to get a whole week off! https://www.couchsurfing.com/events/the-17th-big-franconian-meeting-2026 More details for the camp: Be aware that we hope you host people without tents in yours, if you can (doesn't apply to couples)! If you have any questions, send them to the main organizer Matthias via private message first! LOCATION: We will be here next to a lake and the river Main. It's quiet, but the train station is only a 5min walk away. https://maps.app.goo.gl/MoH1DtCbWmwzpf1k6 About the campground: https://www.markt-rattelsdorf.de/leben-erleben/freizeit-naherholung/camping The (reasonable) prices of last season will be similar this year: https://www.markt-rattelsdorf.de/fileadmin/Gemeinde/Bilder/3_Leben_und_Erleben/Camping/Platzordnung_2026.pdf TRANSPORT/PARKING: The railway station "Ebing" is just a 5mins walk from the campground. Parking is possible outside next to the camp on the road (few meters, no fence in between, see Google Maps link above). Few (camper) cars could go inside. WHAT TO BRING: - cash (you can pay camping with card, but you need cash for (toilet) key deposit, donations if we invite an artist for a concert, for drinks/snacks - and maybe for some activities) - your own food and drinks! (more info below) - games/sports equipment (ball etc.) - music instruments - swimming outfit - If you can, please bring MORE (BIG) tents, sleeping mats, sleeping bags, chairs, pillows, plates, cups, pots, pans, cutlery, canister and other camping stuff THAN YOU NEED YOURSELF, IF YOU HAVE! IF YOU NEED SOMETHING (camping gear etc.), we will coordinate that. In the last years we even hosted people without camping gear and it worked well! (According to your responses in the Google Form I will check, if we have enough. As every year would be happy about more fridges, so please try to ask some of your friends...) PROGRAM: to be announced In the last years we had hikes, concerts and our fun railway station underpass rave 😃 🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️🎉🥳 for example. OTHER INFORMATION / NEXT SHOPS: - The campground provides bathrooms with showers, of course. - Drinks: We will get A FEW drinks (mostly beer, as tap water is drinkable). There will be a donation box then. But mostly you should take care for your own drinks. Some people with cars might be able to help you. - Food: We will talk about it at the camp. We can also cook at the camp, if we have enough pots and stoves. But mostly you should take care for your own food. Some people with cars might be able to help you… We will surely have grills and equipment. Dalius is a grill expert :) - Groceries: In walking distance there’s a Netto, 1,3kms from our camp (bakery and butcher, as well). For people with cars there are Rewe (with bigger beverages market), Aldi, Norma, Rossmann, butcher, bakery etc. 8kms from our camp (at motorway exit Breitengüßbach-Mitte). If you have questions, ask Matthias in a PRIVATE MESSAGE (so we can limit the traffic here)! Happy tentsurfing <3 P. S.: Don't forget: There is the option to visit the BIG Franconian Meeting 2026 directly after the camp! (I am happy to welcome you at Bamberg city on Thursday!
