We went there for the classic bike racing in 2009, Fabulous place. We camped at the circuit on the grass, there is also a large hard area/carpark. I don't know if there are any electric hook ups, we were in a tent and didn't bother. The toilets and showers were only just adequate, there being queues at some times of the day. There were plenty of food outlets and bars. This was a classic motorcycle event and the atmosphere was terrific.

No, there are several - we just can't decide which one to go for. How was it?

Apparently no hookups at the circuit itself, and non-stop german rock partying during the grand prix weekend. We're after something a little more chilled.
