  • Regulations for 2024

Opening Times of Campsites:

Nordschleife: Monday, May 27, from 6:00 AM
Grand Prix Track: A5 on Monday at 8:00 AM, C-Zone on Wednesday at 7:00 AM
Camping before the official opening times is strictly prohibited due to landscape, nature, and resident protection. Compliance with these regulations will be monitored by the police, public order office, and wardens.

If an earlier arrival is unavoidable due to planning reasons, Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG provides parking spaces.

Adenauer Forst – Important Change: Due to construction work, arrival at the campsite in Adenauer Forst before the official opening times is strictly prohibited this year. There is no possibility to queue near the entrance to the camping area in advance.

Wehrseifen, Metzgesfeld: For these campsites, early arrival is generally not allowed due to resident protection reasons.

Alternative Areas for Other Campsites: For campsites along the Nordschleife, alternative areas for early arrival have been set up, but these should only be used in exceptional cases.

Hatzenbach: Early-arriving campers will be directed to the alternative area D1a, accessible from Saturday, May 25, at 8:00 AM. Access is via the B258. It is new this year that setting up on Kreisstraße 73 before the official opening of the campsite is no longer allowed to avoid noise disturbance and inconvenience for residents and to keep emergency routes clear.

  • One Racetrack. One Community.
