I am going to Magic Wood in July and was wanting to know what it costs to rent crash pads there. Thanks for any help!

Also does anybody have any updated information about the Gasthaus prices?

not stayed in the gausthaus for ages, complete rip-off. real shame.
don't know if there is anywhere to rent pads from?

May be worth asking Thomasz (sp?)/ His mrs via facebook - they have a profile as Bodhi climbing and run the campsite from the log cabin where you pay to stay/can buy food&clothing/ read magazines..etc

They didn't have a pad rental scheme in place last summer but may have by now

Maybe we should set one up and live out there all summer Rich!

Surely we'd run out of 7A's to struggle up and get fat on free beer from the water trough courtesy of Frank

I thought you'd climbed 7a+ now Rich?  Maybe I was mistaken. 

However, I am sure you did that 6c thing at Apremont, whats its name?  Onde de something.

May be worth asking Thomasz (sp?)/ His mrs via facebook - they have a profile as Bodhi climbing and run the campsite from the log cabin where you pay to stay/can buy food&clothing/ read magazines..etc/knock loudly on the side of you van and demand that you drive it the 20 mins down to the campsite whilst clearly drunk/leave childish post it notes on your windscreen when you indeed move to the campsite the next day/require you to fill in a police registration form to stay on their site

ok well thanks. We have been in contact with the people at the campsite but they must be way behind on their emails because it takes weeks for them to email us back. In previous emails they have said they will start renting crash pads this summer. Hopefully its not too expensive as we will be there for 2 weeks onn our 8 week euro trip and it will not be financially possible to bring our pads. Any other ideas??

Why not get one of the smaller pads, better than nowt? Failing that there are normally a few people travelling solo or pairs looking for an extra spotter or two just go for a wander or ask about.

As for the campsite first time we camped  2 years ago it was ace. Last year in the van same as Paul B. They were rude, questioned our moments and left us a bit miffed with the whole situation. 

[Paul B]

Amen to that. Plus they let their dog run around the bark chippings pissing everywhere which isn't pleasant (nor is it that amusing) as thats were you guys are going to be sleeping. Plus his Skoda has comically small wheels for a car banging out the hardcore german rap 

[chriss]

Paul I feel your pain brother. I don't mind paying as it keeps the locals happy and access sweet, but 10 Swiss or so for a porta loo and to be treated like a thief no thanks......

just see that you could rent a crashpad for 10 chf a day
