Crowds this summer near Oberammergau

In planning my trip for this July/August I have some concerns about staying in the Bavarian area because of the crowds from the passion play. Did anyone go to the last one ten years ago who can comment on the crowds? We are not going to the play but would like to see the castles and surrounding towns.

I spent 11 days in 2000 in Bavaria (Allgäu, Berchtesgaden area, Munich), not real close to Oberammergau. I never saw any effects of the Passion Play where I was.

As for the castles, make reservations. Only way to be sure.
