All cars with higher clearance (4×4, SUV) can drive right up to the campsite and park along the gravel road. Street cars will be left at the gate on a gravel parking area (former OMV drilling site).

ABC member Pascal Haider, Founder & Board Member of GARFIELD EATS, will contribute with some delicious Garfield Pizzas & Lasagnas. However, please make sure to bring sufficient water, beverages and food for your own consumption.
Expedition into the dunes
After setting up the campsite, desert experts among us will form smaller groups depending on the types of 4×4 vehicles and experience of the drivers to explore the
nearby high dunes and valleys including a beautiful oasis of palm trees. For these trips, appropriate desert gear is imperative.
If you would like to join but don´t have a 4×4 car, we can help you in finding a ride.
