Volunteering at the camping was a lot of fun. The tents were cozy and there was hot showers and a good variety of food options. The work was simple, however sometimes a bit chaotic. I think it would be better if there was a few more volunteers. Anyway I had a lot of fun with all the other volunteers and this is a good way to experience Oktoberfest on a budget. I would recommend this experience! :)

The camping is alot of work and the experience depends alot on the team you have on location which changes from week to week. But we did all have heaps of fun despite rain and cold!

Overall it was a fun experience. A great opportunity to experience Oktoberfest if you're on a budget. The managers were great and understanding. Camplife was special and bonding for us the volunteers - I truly felt like after less than a week we became our own family. One negative for me was the workload - sometimes it was overwhelming for a volunteering job, especially at the beginning building all the tents. I'd recommend yes trips to bring in more volunteers and set the work week to be 25h a week instead of 32h. That definitely won't be as tiring for the volunteers. Overall would recommend!

The Yes-trips the camping was a cool and fun experience. The atmosphere among the staff was really good, thanks to the great volunteers. The food was perfect, with a good choice. Unfortunately, the lack of volunteers meant that the workload was quite intense at times. I think one way to improve the experience would be to increase the number of volunteers. The managers, however, did the best they could and helped us as much as they could. All in all, I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to experience this adventure!

The other volunteers were amazing and very friendly, I extended my stay because of them. This was a cheap place to stay during Oktoberfest; they had hot showers, toilets, and food vouchers on weekends. The downsides: sometimes we would get our work schedule the day before. The grocery budget was really small. The work was draining, we didn't have much time to ourselves after cooking, laundry in the city, and showering. I do wish that we volunteers were treated better. Because of the amount and intensity of the work we did, 5 volunteers left early. We were understaffed and disorganized.

Hello Reese! Thanks for your review!

We would like to adress the budget for food, we always bought whatever you asked for and at the end we had to donate much food that was leftover. We are suprised from this comment, problably you received wrong information.

It is correct that sometimes you have the workschedule the day before, but this was clear since the application, unfortunately being a campsite in Germany if one day it rains fully there is not much that can be done and the schedule needs to be adjusted accordingly.

Thanks for your feedback!

A friend and I volunteered at the camping for 3 weeks and it was like no other experience I've had before. The community that gets built at the camping truely turns into a family, the place is so big there's always a party happening or somewhere chill to go relax. The work was fine, some days were hard towards the start setting up tents but there's a big team and you're encouraged to have fun, and it was definitely balanced out by reception shifts genuinely just hanging out. Recommend if your happy to get a bit down and dirty and ready for a fun time that you won't find elsewhere

Todo meu tempo de voluntariado me senti como em uma família longe de casa, toda a energia do camping é tranquila. A organização se mostra complicada por ter muitas tendas e muitos voluntários ao mesmo tempo, por isso tive de me manter atenta o tempo todo em tudo que estava acontecendo e não tive nenhum problema de forma nenhuma, recomendo extremamente!

It was a great experience getting to volunteer at the camping for Oktoberfest. I totally recommend this opportunity if you enjoy meeting new people and partying, because you get to attend Oktoberfest, and you hang out with guests and volunteers at the camping. The working hours were respected, and even if they felt long, the team of volunteers always got things done. I'm gonna miss this place!

I had a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend it If you want to make new international friends, have fun, work and drink beer. Laura is amazing, she was always there whenever someone needed something. It's one in a lifetime experience, we had to work really hard, but also had lots of time for partying and going to Oktoberfest. I made lots of friends that ended up becoming a family. Everyone was super collaborative. We slept in big tents, had clean toilets and hot showers. If you like partying and team work this is the right place to volunteer.

I had an amazing time at the camping ⛺️ you sleep in a big tent with 2-4 other volunteers on a comfy mattress and as many sleeping bags as you want (it gets cold at night). Work is demanding but you usually finish quick (thanks to the amazing team work 🙏🏻) the organisation of the camping and the team is better than I experienced working in paid jobs 👍 you have plenty of time to explore Munich and Oktoberfest alone or with your friends/other volunteers. Great place if you enjoy partying, drinking and have a team spirit! The food is simple and usually cooked by the volunteers.
