Since I will be travelling with my wife, that is accustomed to a certain degree of comfort, does any recommend staying at a nearby hotel vs. camping on the festival grounds? Why or why not?

Are there any shower facilities at the fest ground? Thanks and see you at the fest.

By the way, we're coming from the US too, Washington DC area (northern Virginia).

oh, the old topic... we had this already several times :D
Try using the search function about it - but I can tell you the result anyway: 95 % of the people highly recommend staying at the campsite :D ;)
And yes, there are showers at the festival area, but they are not as comfty as a hotel shower of course...

@ The Festival Camping is better, because.......

1. There are more Party!
2. Shower Camps are there!
3 you must so long walk to the Hotel(i think 30 minutes min.)
4. You can go back to the Camp and drink a Beer!
5 You meet more interresting People, than in the samll hotel!
6. You sleep not to long, because there play the music @ 10 o clock in the Morning:D!
7. When you are in the Forum Camp, you meet Metalheadz from all over the World Easier!
8. Your Wife can also talk with many Girls/Womens
9. Its Cheapier to camp than the Hotel!
10. when you walk 20 min. you are in a good and cheap Restaurant(the expensivst meal cost 13 Euro!)
11. When you in the camp you are 2 min. at the festival!!!! Its nor so hard because when you walk @ 3 o clock in the moirning(there finished always the last band), its hard to walk a half hour!
12. the shower camps cost 1 or 2 euros and its fine, theres women showers and Men showers:)!
@ the Camp ground there also supermarkets to buy eat and Drink! Its not expensiver then in the offical supermarket!!!
13. When you go to the campground you must pay nothing when you come without your car:D!

I hope you find this arguments good and come to the Camp also we can drink some Beer:D:D

Greetings to Washington from Bregenz(lake of constance, Austria)

There's no other way to experience Wacken than camping. Will you ever find some Swedish drunken metalhead on a ripped out car-seat when you get out of bed in a hotel? Will some guys discuss the nature of coffee-banana next door all night long ? Will you meet quite a lot of cool guys and girls by sleeping in a hotel room ? Will you ever have to depend on a guy called "Grimbeard" to watch over your luggage for a moment in a hotel ? No way.
