CastleCon 2026 is scheduled for Jun 19-21, 2026 at Camping Schüttehof.
CastleCon is a furry camping convention in Horb am Neckar, Germany. It is built around tents, shared outdoor space, and a lighter self-catering setup rather than a standard hotel-convention model.
The official site lists June 19-21, 2026 for CastleCon 15 at Camping Schüttehof in Horb. The German camping convention does not use named themes in its traditional format.
CastleCon is a useful contrast to Germany's ballroom and city-hotel conventions. The event is much more about campsite atmosphere, hanging out outdoors, and treating the weekend like a furry camping trip with organized structure around it. The official page is explicit that attendees should expect a self-supply format, their own tent setup, and a campground environment rather than a hotel package.
The nearest major airport is Stuttgart (STR), about 40 minutes away by car or roughly one hour by regional train from Horb Bahnhof. Horb am Neckar has its own train station with regular regional services connecting to Stuttgart and other Baden-Württemberg cities. From Horb station, the campsite is about a 30-minute walk, so plan accordingly or arrange local transport.
CastleCon is a camping convention, so the primary accommodation is your own tent at Camping Schüttehof. The campsite also offers rental mobile homes, hikers' cabins, and wooden sleeping barrels if you prefer not to bring a tent. The site sits at 550 metres altitude in the northern Black Forest and includes sanitary facilities, a barbecue area, and an outdoor pool.
CastleCon continued its traditional camping format in Horb throughout 2025. The event focused on outdoor social activities and communal living, setting the stage for its 2026 "Curses & Demons" iteration.
