Hungarian Grand Prix camping

The Hungarian Grand Prix is packed full of excitement and one that always lives long in the memory of F1 fans. If you’re planning to attend in 2024, the last thing you want to spoil such an incredible experience is being stuck on a grim campsite in the middle of nowhere with no facilities. In this guide, we’ll showcase three fantastic options to help you make an informed decision and ensure the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix is truly unforgettable.

The campsite has toilet and shower facilities with hot and cold running water and 24-hour security so you can rest assured that your valuables are safe while you’re enjoying the action trackside. During race week, Zengö is open from Wednesday 10:00am till Monday 10:00am and staff at the reservation desk speak English, German and Hungarian.

Camping facilities 

While all campsites featured in this guide offer adequate showers and toilets, it’s wise to avoid using these facilities first thing in the morning when queues are expected to be long! Bring your own toilet paper too….just in case!

It is also recommended to bring your own food and drink, as food stalls and outlets on site can be pricey. Bring plenty of water as temperatures during the racing weekend frequently reach 28 – 30 degrees Celsius!

Camping near Hungaroring 

Camping at Hungaroring itself will no doubt sell out quickly. If you miss out, don’t worry, there are a number of other campsites in the area which offer pitches over the race weekend.

We recommend the following campsites:

• Royal PRing Camping – situated on the south-east side of the Hungaroring circuit, close to Gates 3-6
• Camping Arena Budapest – this leafy, peaceful and well-presented campsite is just 20 minutes’ drive from Hungaroring
• Camping Pap-sziget – located on a small island by the river Danube, this campsite is great for holidays as well as a perfect base for the Grand Prix
