Frequently Asked Questions

There are six categories: MINI (20 m² / 4×5 m), BASIC (approx. 30 m², slightly sloping meadow, electricity optional), PREMIUM (approx. 48 m², level meadow, electricity included), PREMIUM XL (approx. 60 m² / 6×10 m, level, electricity included), PREMIUM XXL (approx. 78 m² / 6×13 m, level, electricity included) and the solid chalet. Which category suits you mainly depends on the length of your vehicle.

MINI is our compact tent pitch of about 20 m² (4 × 5 m) – tent only, no electricity and partly on a slight slope. You use the shared sanitary area, and you can charge your phone at check-in. A car parking space cannot be added to MINI.

Approx. 30 m² on a slightly sloping meadow. Suitable for a car with tent, two motorbikes with tent or a camper up to 6 m long. Shared use of the common sanitary facilities and the food area. An electricity connection (230 V / 8 A) can be added optionally for a surcharge.

Approx. 48 m² on a level, well-kept meadow with electricity included (230 V / 8 A, Schuko CEE 7/3). Central location, shared use of the sanitary facilities. Suitable for motorhomes up to 7.5 m.

Approx. 60 m² (6×10 m) on a level meadow with electricity included. Ideal for a car + caravan (combination) or extra-long motorhomes up to 9 m. Up to 8 people.

Approx. 78 m² (6×13 m) on a level meadow with electricity included – our largest pitch. For luxury liners and especially long/heavy motorhomes up to 12 m. Exclusive location near the food area and sanitary facilities, up to 10 people.

Solid wooden chalet with two bunk beds made of stone pine (for up to 4 people), interior approx. 2.20×2.80 m. Electricity (230 V / 8 A), five Schuko sockets, two USB ports and interior lighting. No own vehicle needed. Access to four exclusive VIP bathrooms for chalet guests only, plus one included parking space (approx. 100 m away).

Rule of thumb by length: up to 6 m → BASIC, up to 7.5 m → PREMIUM, up to 9 m or car + caravan → PREMIUM XL, up to 12 m / luxury liner → PREMIUM XXL. If you arrive without your own vehicle, book the chalet.

BASIC up to 6 people, PREMIUM and PREMIUM XL up to 8, PREMIUM XXL up to 10, chalet up to 4 people.

Everywhere 230 V / 8 A, Schuko CEE 7/3. With PREMIUM, PREMIUM XL and PREMIUM XXL as well as in the chalet, electricity is included; with BASIC it can be added optionally. We recommend a splash-proof extension cable of about 40 m (at least 25 m).

Schitterhof CAMPING WEISS, Spielbergerstraße 12, 8724 Spielberg – approx. 900 m from the Red Bull Ring. GPS: 47.2140879, 14.7775305. During major events, the access is signposted with a 'black tent on white background' symbol.

You can see the bookable arrival and departure days directly in the booking calendar (event week from Tuesday to Monday). You can also arrive later than booked – unused nights are not refunded.

Usual check-in times are 08:00–22:00, on the main arrival day until 23:00. We state the exact times per event in the booking confirmation. Check-in on Saturday/Sunday only by prior arrangement at servus@schitterhof.at.

Check-in outside these times is not possible. You can spend the night on the waiting car park right in front of the check-in area and check in the next morning from 08:00.

Just show your QR code from the confirmation email (on your phone is fine). You'll then get your wristband, which is worn visibly throughout your stay and serves as access to the site.

Yes, right in front of the check-in area. Waiting there is free until opening.

Yes. A bus stop is right in front of the camping area, and Knittelfeld station is approx. 4 km away. During events, shuttles run to the Red Bull Ring; from there it's about 10–15 minutes on foot.

Departure on Monday is flexible, ideally by around 13:00. A formal check-out is only needed for chalet guests; on the pitches, a cleanly left spot with rubbish bags placed correctly is enough.

The nearby S36 (approx. 800 m, Spielberg/Zeltweg Ost junction) eases the departure. On Monday it's usually traffic-free at any time.

On wet ground a tow vehicle is on standby. Get help via the check-out team or at +43 670 5090460.

At the pitch there's the Schuko socket common in Germany and Austria (internationally 'type F', standard CEE 7/3, 230 V / 50 Hz). How to recognise it: a round, slightly recessed socket with two round holes (19 mm apart) and two metal earthing clips on the top and bottom edge. Matching plugs: type F (Schuko) and type E (France/Belgium) fit directly; the two-pin type C (Europlug) also fits. You need a travel adapter 'to type F / Schuko' if you come from the UK/Ireland (type G), Switzerland (type J), Italy (type L) or from outside Europe (e.g. USA type A/B). This is what the connection looks like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuko (with photos).

No. Charging vehicles via the pitch connection is not allowed for safety reasons – at 8 A the connections are designed only for household appliances. Please use public charging stations.

At the RingRast petrol station, approx. 500 m away. Billing there works via the usual charging apps/cards (e.g. SMATRICS, EnBW, Shell Recharge).

Yes, e-bikes can be charged via the normal Schuko sockets at the pitch.

Each connection supplies 230 V / 8 A – that's a maximum of about 1.8 kW at a time. Please use only CE-certified, splash-proof cables/adapters.

Best is a standard German/Austrian cable reel with a Schuko connection (type F): a Schuko plug (type F) on the supply cable and Schuko sockets (type F, CEE 7/3) on the reel – exactly the same system as our socket at the pitch. Recommended length about 40 m (at least 25 m). For outdoors, be sure to use a splash-proof outdoor reel (IP44) with rubber cable (H07RN-F) and at least 1.5 mm² cross-section. Important: always fully unroll the cable during use, otherwise the wound-up reel can overheat. Max. 8 A (approx. 1.8 kW) is available per connection.

Lay cables so no trip hazards arise (secure/cover them). We recommend about 40 m of cable and IP44-protected connections. Always fully unroll cable reels.

Top-quality drinking water from the public supply. There are central taps in the camping areas (especially at check-in and sanitary buildings). Filling up fresh water is free. There's no direct connection at the pitch.

No – supply and disposal are free with us: filling fresh water, disposing of grey water and emptying the chemical toilet are free of charge. You'll find the stations in the check-in area.

During Formula 1 and MotoGP, a free supermarket shuttle runs on Friday and Saturday every 30 minutes.

Vegetarian dishes are available on request.

Cash or card (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro), with no minimum amount.

At the sanitary buildings there are free water refill stations. Ice cubes are available at the MATTEO food area.

Dogs are warmly welcome and free. There's no surcharge. They must be supervised at all times and must not disturb other guests.

A leash is required across the whole site. The quiet hours from 23:00–07:00 also apply to animals. Maximum two animals per pitch, no breed or size restriction.

Please bring your own poop bags and dispose of waste properly. Around the site there are nice paths (e.g. the meadow route on Moosweg) for walking your dog.

No animals are allowed in sanitary or indoor food areas. Leashed dogs are welcome in the outdoor area of the food zone.

You should carry a vaccination passport and chip data, especially when arriving from abroad.

Guaranteed quiet hours from 23:00. The site is lit and monitored by security at night – no loud party music. That's exactly what families and everyone who wants to recover after race day appreciate.

During events a professional security team is on duty around the clock. The site is lit at night and access is only for registered guests.

Yes. A well-lit site, night-time security and consistent quiet hours from 23:00 create a calm, safe atmosphere.

Stay calm, get people to safety and immediately alert security or the fire brigade. Assembly points are marked at the entrance and by the sanitary building. Emergency contact during events: +43 670 5090460.

Yes. The Mur cycle path R2 is reachable in about 10 minutes, and popular e-bike tours lead towards Seckau or Judenburg. A relaxed loop Schitterhof–Red Bull Ring–Spielberg takes about 45 minutes (flat, family-friendly).

At Zechnerteich near Knittelfeld (approx. 6 km) or in the Aqualux thermal spa in Fohnsdorf.

A public playground is approx. 600 m away in the centre of Spielberg. During major events at the Red Bull Ring there are additional children's programmes.

The Red Bull Ring assigns non-transferable colour codes to its official camping partners. 'WEISS' (white) stands for the Schitterhof in the official traffic and safety concept. Only officially colour-coded sites appear on the Red Bull Ring website, are integrated into the safety procedures and issue official camping stickers.

Since 1999 (then the A1-Ring) and continuously since the reopening as the Red Bull Ring in 2011. For you that means: a proven, secure booking system, official camping stickers and decades of experience with major events.

Officially accredited site (colour code WEISS), proximity to the track, modern sanitary facilities, well-kept meadows, high-quality food – and a clear focus on quiet, cleanliness and comfort.
