Camping and Glamping

🏕 Camping for 2026 is possible now

Good news: You can already book your camping spot at the swim start for DATEV Challenge Roth 2026. You can book here.

If we have news about glamping we will inform you here.

Some athletes call it the “Woodstock of Triathlon” – that special vibe at the campsite near the swim start.
We weren’t around at the original Woodstock, but we’re thrilled that this unique feeling of togetherness has found a home here.

For 2025, we’re stepping things up – based on your feedback. More comfort, more space, more structure – times two:

🏕 Camping Area at the Swim Start
More space, marked spots, 24/7 support, a dedicated hygiene zone – perfect if you love being close to the canal and soaking up the camping vibes.

You can book both options easily online – so your DATEV Challenge Roth 2026 becomes even more your very own #HomeOfTriathlon.

Quick Overview: New Camping Options at DATEV Challenge Roth 2025

🏕 Two large areas right at the swim start – lots more space!
👥 24/7 staff support from Thursday (July 3) to Monday (July 7)
🚿 Brand-new hygiene area with free showers & toilets
💶 €80 flat fee per pitch for all days – van, tent, RV, doesn’t matter
📅 Online registration required – secures your spot & helps us plan
💡 Last-minute spots available on site (if not sold out)
❌ Fair cancellation policy

What’s New at the Campsite?

1. More Space = More Options

In addition to the existing (yellow) area, we’ve added another large field (red) directly by the canal. That means: more capacity and more room for relaxed nights before the big day.

2. 24/7 On-Site Support

Both camping areas will be staffed continuously from Thursday to Monday. Our crew will assign your spot, answer questions, and be there for you – even at night.
We’re even planning a small kiosk at both locations!

You can arrive flexibly between Thursday and Saturday – by RV, trailer, van, or car (with or without tent).

3. New Showers and Toilets

For the first time in 2025: a free hygiene area with proper shower and toilet containers, right by Transition Zone 1 (marked in blue). That’s how you start race day feeling fresh!

4. Online Registration & Cost Coverage

Sounds good? We think so too. To cover costs, the spots now come with a small fee – still fair and simple:

💶 €80 flat per pitch – regardless of

your vehicle
number of people staying
number of nights

So if you're staying 4 nights with your family – that’s just €20 a night.
Register online to secure your pitch and help us plan. We'll also ask for your estimated arrival time.

Late decision? No worries – a few spots may still be available on-site (if not fully booked), at a flat rate of €100.

Why is camping no longer free in 2025?

Over the past few years, we’ve unfortunately seen recurring issues with blocked emergency access routes, unclear camping areas, and fire safety regulations not being followed.

That’s why in 2025, we’re taking a new – and necessary – approach:
👉 With clearly marked and assigned pitches
👉 With 24/7 on-site support
👉 With more safety, space and service for everyone – thanks to a second dedicated camping area

As race organizers, we’re renting these spaces exclusively for you, which comes with costs for land use, mowing, preparation, and infrastructure.

By booking now, you can be sure to secure your spot and plan your experience with peace of mind – no worries about finding a place.

💶 The flat fee of €80 per pitch (for up to four nights) is, in our opinion, a fair deal – and helps us provide a relaxed, safe and well-organized camping experience right in the #HomeOfTriathlon.

Thanks for your understanding – and for being part of this amazing community!
