Metal Town - Graspop Metal Meeting is not a standard campsite but a purpose-built festival grounds designed as a comfortable home base for Graspop visitors. It combines the practicality of camping with the feel of a small, well-managed community: clearly marked zones, controlled access, and a rhythm that follows the festival schedule.
Inside, the experience is centered on comfort and convenience: solid sanitary facilities, a reception area as the main check-in hub, and on-site services that make the time before and after shows noticeably easier. Many visitors value the choice of setups—from bringing a tent or camper to opting for sturdier accommodation such as wooden huts (subject to availability)—with logistics and safety kept front and center.
The micro-location is straightforward: Hoefstraat 36, Dessel, Belgium. The easiest approach is by car to the dedicated Metal Town parking area (in practice, access is often linked to a valid parking voucher), then check in at reception to collect your wristband and directions to your spot.
