I have to say, the Wacken 2003 was absolutely fantastic and I had the greatest time ever.
However, it could have been even better if we were actually able to find out booked camping ground.
We were walking and driving for nearly 2 hours around camp 'L' and none of the Wacken staff could help us and tell us where we were supposed to be, not even at the info point. All the other camping grounds were marked up as to whom they belonged but there was no indication of any of them being ours. So at the end I called ICS who directed us to allegedly a correct place but the camp ground was booked for someone else! At the end we were told to take any space at the camp 'L', after we lost about 2 1/2 hours just walking around and asking people.
I would really like to suggest for next year that the plan of all the booked camps is available to all the Wacken staff in Wacken campground, esepcially the one that is booked in advance or perhaps e-mail it to people who are booking the ground (like me this year), so we know exactly where to go when we get to Wacken. It would be also helpful if there were some directions somewhere for people...many of the people who were supposed to camp with us couldn't find us because noone knew where we were and the direction posters we put up kept coming off.
I don't know if anyone else had a problem like this but I would really like to avoid all this next year if at all possible.
