Accomodation and Camping in Roth
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.
The glamping options are also available now 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: Camping Options at DATEV Challenge Roth 2026
🏕 Two large areas right at the swim start
👥 24/7 staff support from Thursday (July 2) to Monday (July 6)
🚿 Hygiene area with free showers & toilets
💶 €80 flat fee per pitch for all days – van, tent, RV, doesn’t matter

❌ Fair cancellation policy
Your trusted race-week camping experience
More space. More comfort. More Roth.
What started in 2025 is here to stay: Our popular camping setup right next to the swim start. More space, better organization, and that real Roth feeling – even before the race begins. 🏕️
✅ Two large areas right by the canal
Thanks to the second camping field, there's more space and peace of mind for everyone. Whether you're bringing a van, RV, tent, or just a car – your spot is waiting. And the best part? You can book it online in advance.
🛟 24/7 on-site support
From Thursday, July 2 to Monday, July 6, 2026, both camping areas will be staffed around the clock by our fantastic DJK Göggelsbuch volunteers.
They'll assign your space, answer questions – and keep things safe and organized day and night. We're also planning to bring back the small convenience kiosks on both fields.
🚿 Showers & restrooms right on site
Start race day fresh!
You'll find a dedicated shower and toilet zone with free access to modern containers – located right at the edge of Transition Zone 1.
💶 Flat rate & easy online booking
To keep things running smoothly, safe, and well-organized, camping is subject to a fair flat fee:
➡️ €80 total per camping spot – for all nights, no matter your vehicle or how many people stay.
So if you're staying four nights with family or friends, you're paying just €5 per person, per night. That's hard to beat.
👉 Online booking is required – to guarantee your spot and help with planning.
👉 We'll ask for your estimated arrival time during booking.
👉 Last-minute? We’ll have a small number of walk-up spots available on-site (if capacity allows, €100 cash only).
🤝 Why is there a fee?
Because safety, comfort, and structure matter – and because we:
-
Rent two large fields just for you
-
Maintain roads & infrastructure
-
Set up a hygiene area with free showers & toilets
-
Staff the area 24/7 with helpful volunteers
Your fee helps create a smooth, safe, and relaxed camping experience in the #HomeOfTriathlon. 🙌
