Camping Austria MotoGP 2026: Red Bull Ring Guide

From 18–20 September 2026, it's back — MotoGP weekend at Red Bull Ring. If you want to be close to the action, here's everything practical: booking, directions, facilities for a straightforward stay at Schitterhof CAMPING WEISS.

From 18–20 September 2026, MotoGP returns to Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. For many fans, camping is part of the package — crawl out of your tent at dawn, stand trackside ten minutes later, and you'll understand why. Here's what you need to know for your MotoGP weekend.

Schitterhof offers five categories, sorted by vehicle length and equipment level. BASIC (approx. 30 m², slightly sloped grass) works for car with tent, two motorcycles with tent, or camper up to 6 m — optional electric hook-up available. PREMIUM (approx. 48 m², level ground, electricity included) suits motorhomes up to 7.5 m. Travelling with an outfit or extra-long motorhome up to 9 m? PREMIUM XL (approx. 60 m² / 6×10 m) fits. For luxury liners up to 12 m, there's PREMIUM XXL (approx. 78 m² / 6×13 m) — exclusive location, up to ten people. Arriving without your own vehicle? Book the fixed Chalet built from Swiss pine, with two bunk beds (sleeps four), private electricity, and access to four VIP bathrooms.

All categories with electricity provide a Schuko socket (230 V / 8 A, CEE 7/3) — best bring a splash-proof extension lead around 40 m. External generators aren't permitted; built-in motorhome heating is fine. Charging electric cars via the pitch socket is banned for safety reasons — you'll find public charging points at the RingRast petrol station (roughly 500 m away). E-bikes can be charged through the standard sockets without issue.

Booking runs entirely online: choose event → category → set people, nights, and options → enter details → pay. The current price for each category shows directly in the form — all options displayed transparently. After payment arrives (SEPA, credit card, or other methods offered in the form), you automatically receive a confirmation email with invoice and your QR code for check-in. Only this confirmation makes the booking binding. Children pay no pitch surcharge and are exempt from local tax under 15; they still must be declared for registration purposes. Dogs are also free.

For MotoGP, minimum stay is two nights. Early departure is possible; unused nights aren't refunded. No deposit — you pay the full amount when booking. Cancellation terms are fairly tiered: From six months before the event, you get 100% back; between two and six months, 50% cash or free rebooking as credit; under two months, only free rebooking. Through "My Booking" you can add people or nights, upgrade to a larger category, or submit a cancellation request. If the organiser postpones the event, your booking automatically moves to the replacement date; if fully cancelled, you get everything back. Questions about group bookings or special requests: servus@schitterhof.at.

Schitterhof sits at Spielbergerstraße 12 in 8724 Spielberg, roughly 900 m from the main Red Bull Ring entrance (GPS: 47.2140879, 14.7775305). During MotoGP, access is signposted with a "black tent on white background" symbol. Arriving by public transport? Get off at Knittelfeld station (approx. 4 km) — a bus stop lies directly outside the camping area, with shuttles running to the Ring.

Check-in times are typically 08:00–22:00, extended to 23:00 on the main arrival day (exact times in your booking confirmation). Arriving outside these hours? You can stay free on the waiting car park directly in front of check-in overnight and check in from 08:00 the next morning. Just show your QR code on your phone at check-in — you'll receive your wristband, which acts as access for the entire stay and must be worn visibly. Monday departure is flexible, ideally by around 13:00. There's only formal check-out for Chalet guests; on pitches, a clean site with correctly placed bin bags is enough. The nearby S36 (approx. 800 m, Spielberg/Zeltweg Ost junction) ensures congestion-free departure — Monday mornings usually no problem. In rain or mud, a tow vehicle stands ready (+43 670 5090460).

The central sanitary facilities are modern, separated for men and women, with WCs, showers and washbasins — hot water round the clock (brief interruptions only during cleaning). On event days, cleaned several times daily. Chalet guests additionally access four exclusive VIP bathrooms. Fresh water fill-up, grey water disposal and chemical toilet emptying are free here — you'll find the stations in the check-in area. With PREMIUM, a private chemical toilet is optionally bookable (price in booking form). Top-quality drinking water at taps by check-in and sanitary buildings, free refill stations for bottles too.

On event days, catering opens daily from roughly 07:00–23:00 — breakfast from 07:00, hot food from 11:00. Two areas: MATTEO (breakfast, pizza & pasta evenings) and **MAMAS
