Munich: Oktoberfest Beer Festival with Camping

If you’re thinking about joining one of Europe’s most iconic festivals, the Oktoberfest Beer Festival with Camping offered by Stoke Travel might be on your radar. While we haven’t personally been to this exact experience, we’ve looked into how it stacks up for travelers seeking a lively, social, and budget-friendly way to enjoy Oktoberfest. It’s a package that combines the party atmosphere of the world’s biggest beer festival with a laid-back camping vibe.

What stands out to us are the included full breakfast each morning—perfect for fueling up before a long day of festivities—and the access to unlimited beer and sangria, which keeps the drinks flowing without breaking the bank. On the flip side, the campsite’s location being a bus ride away from the heart of Munich’s beer halls might be a consideration if you’re hoping to stay right in the thick of the action.

This experience seems best suited for those who want a no-fuss, social environment and are comfortable with camping. If you’re looking for a more traditional, sit-down Oktoberfest experience, this might not be your first choice. But if you’re after a communal, party-focused trip that combines good times and a relaxed vibe, it’s worth considering.

What To Expect at the Oktoberfest Camping

The core of this experience is the Stoke Travel Campsite, which hosts upwards of 2500 guests each night. When you arrive, you’ll check in and find your pre-erected tent, equipped with a mattress and sleeping bag—no stress about setting up your own shelter. Luggage storage is available if you arrive early or need to store extra stuff, and check-in is open 24/7, so your arrival time can be flexible.

Each morning kicks off with a hearty big breakfast served from 8 to 11 am. You can enjoy tea and coffee while planning your day, whether that’s hitting the beer tents, exploring Munich, or just relaxing at the campsite with new friends. It’s a laid-back start with enough fuel to keep you going.

The campsite becomes a hub of energy from Thursday through Sunday, with live performances by bands and DJs. Many reviews mention the fun of the campsite parties, where unlimited beer and sangria are available for just €15 daily. Plus, food trucks keep everyone well-fed, offering a variety of bites to complement the drinks.

The Beer and Food Scene

This experience clearly emphasizes the social side of Oktoberfest. The unlimited beer and sangria are a big draw—think of it as a relaxed, all-you-can-drink setup that lets you mingle without constantly reaching for your wallet. Be aware, however, that this costs an extra €15 per day, which you should factor into your budget.

What’s also notable is the emphasis on delicious food. The description highlights the availability of food trucks at the campsite, providing more than just drinks. Many reviews rave about the tapas-like snacks and hearty food options, which add a satisfying layer to the festival experience. It’s a good way to balance all those drinks with some substantial bites.

Accommodation and Comfort

The tents provided are pre-erected, which saves you the hassle, and they come with mattresses and sleeping bags. It’s cozy enough for most, but keep in mind this isn’t luxury camping; it’s all about the communal, festival vibe. The tents are designed for comfort within a lively, party-ready environment, making them suitable for most travelers comfortable with basic accommodation.

The campsite security is 24/7, giving some peace of mind about safety, and the inclusion of earplugs helps ensure you get some rest despite the lively atmosphere. Just be aware that at this price point, the accommodation is simple—no private rooms or fancy amenities.

The Location and How It Affects Your Trip

One aspect worth mentioning is the site’s distance from Munich’s city center. The campsite is accessible via public bus, which might be an extra step compared to staying directly in Munich. If your main goal is to spend as much time as possible inside the beer halls, this could be a minor inconvenience. However, for many, the social, festival atmosphere at the campsite compensates for the need to commute.

Getting to the beer tents each day involves a bus ride, but considering that you’ll be in a vibrant, party-centric environment, it’s a small trade-off. Plus, the campsite’s lively nightly parties make it a hub of social activity, so many guests find the whole setup worth it.

Pricing and Value

At $204 per person, this package offers a lot of value if you’re looking for an affordable Oktoberfest experience. The price covers three to five days of camping, breakfast, security, and nightly entertainment. The main extra cost is the €15 daily fee for unlimited beer and sangria, which can add up but still keeps the overall experience budget-friendly compared to booking a hotel and separate tickets.

Many reviews highlight the affordability combined with the fun environment, making it ideal for travelers who want to party without overspending. However, if you’re after a more traditional, sit-down Oktoberfest experience, or prefer staying close to Munich’s core, you might find this a bit casual.

Who Would Enjoy This Experience?

This tour is perfect for social travelers who want to enjoy the Oktoberfest spirit, enjoy communal camping, and not mind a lively, sometimes noisy, environment. It’s suited for those comfortable with basic camping accommodations and looking for a fun, budget-friendly way to celebrate.

It’s also a good fit for groups of friends or solo travelers eager to meet new people. If you prefer a more comfortable, private experience or are traveling with young children, this setup might not be ideal.

With pre-erected tents, hearty breakfasts, and live entertainment, it hits many of the right notes for travelers who prioritize socializing and fun.

While the location is a bit of a commute from the city center, the vibrant, party-focused environment more than makes up for it for many guests. The unlimited drinks and food trucks make it a convenient, relaxed way to indulge in the festival’s culinary and beverage highlights.
