10 PROGRAMME O-RINGEN VÄRMLAND <strong>2017</strong><br />
Camping at O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City<br />
In order to simplify the traffic<br />
situation and minimize congestion<br />
during O-<strong>Ringen</strong>, there are a number<br />
of one-way sections and zones<br />
of reduced speed. Respect these<br />
restrictions and follow all directions<br />
from the traffic officials. Take it<br />
easy and show consideration when<br />
driving, especially within O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
City itself. Keep in mind that there<br />
is a large number of people moving<br />
around in this area, both adults and<br />
children. Drive safely and carefully!<br />
The doors to the O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City campground<br />
open on Wednesday, July 19. This is an entire<br />
temporary city that has been planned and<br />
prepared for several years. The camping area is<br />
spread out on and around the Arvika airport’s<br />
runway, with O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Square as the obvious<br />
center.<br />
The community feeling is an important reason<br />
why nearly half of O-<strong>Ringen</strong>’s participants<br />
have chosen to stay at the campground. Its<br />
compact setup gives O-<strong>Ringen</strong> <strong>Värmland</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
all the possibilities to create a sense of community<br />
and camaraderie both within and between<br />
all clubs and participants.<br />
The campground is divided into five different<br />
areas (A-E). These areas contain approximately<br />
7 personal hygiene stations, where<br />
campsite residents have access to flushing toilets<br />
and areas for washing up and doing dishes.<br />
If you have booked a camping spot, you<br />
can find the location of your spot on oringen.<br />
se about a week before your arrival.<br />
There are altogether 2400 camping spots,<br />
including 600 with access to electricity. With a<br />
few weeks to go to opening day, nearly 2100<br />
spots have been booked.<br />

Campsite distribution<br />
You can get information about which camping<br />
spot you have been assigned at oringen.<br />
se from July 11.<br />
Distribution of camping spots is done by<br />
club, district, and country. Sites with and without<br />
electricity are located in separate places.<br />
That means that those who booked place with<br />
electricity cannot live together with others in<br />
their club. On the other hand, the internal distribution<br />
of campsites with electricity is done<br />
by club/district/country as well.<br />
For extra large camping spots there is no<br />
guarantee that you will be located together<br />
with your club.<br />
If you book a camping spot after June 1,<br />
there is no guarantee that you will be located<br />
together with your club.<br />
Look ahead of time to see which area (A-<br />

Did you know that…<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City’s campground with its approximately<br />
2400 campsite is probably Sweden’s<br />
largest in terms of number of sites? For example,<br />
there are approximately twice as many<br />
spots here as at Böda camping on Öland.<br />
A single camping spot is approximately 81 m2.<br />
There are approximately 2500 meters of water<br />
and sewage hoses and one sewage tank under<br />
ground.<br />
Nearly 3000 meters of cable have been installed<br />
in order to supply electricity to the 600<br />
campsites and meet O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Square’s electricity<br />
needs.
