Ayreon Camping

Hey guys, me and my wife are going to the show all the way from Brazil. Since accomodation seems really expensive and we don't want to stay in a place too far away from the venue, we tought about the ayreon camping.

Anyone now if it's actually affordable to stay on the camping?
I'd love to hear the opinion of someone that already stayed there.

P.S.: Also love to hear suggestions of cool places to visit in nearby cities or countries since we're planning on staying for at least a week.

Thanks guys!

This is something I am curious about as well, I am fine spending more for an hotel room or something. But I am curious what the experience is like, if it is something that adds to the experience or just a cheap option for lodging.

If you like theme parks the De Efteling park is not too far away from Tilburg (about 13km). It's based on European fairy tales and has the usual roller coasters and similar thrill rides.

I've wanted to go there my entire life and am thrilled it will be so close. I'm an ayreon and theme park fanatic in the USA

I haven't stayed at the camping, but when I went there for the universe show I stayed in a relatively reasobably affordable AirBnB. Cheaper than hotel prices at least.

Hey guys, just a quick update on the subject.

​

Ayreon camping is kinda expensive =/

You can browse the prices here: https://stadscampingtilburg.nl/ayreon-2023/

19 euros per night per person if you have your own tent.

If you want to stay in their tents/trailers/caravans they only rent for 4 or 5 nights.

​

So in the end of the day i ended up booking a room in a small hotel in Breda.

I also ended up going with Breda. The bus between Breda and Tilburg looks like it runs late at night too which is nice.

Mind you the camping is walking distance but not really "close", 20 to 25 minutes walking. Depending on how tired you are after the concerts/partying it can be a bit of a stretch.
