Guidelines for the campervan field:

• Your campervan/caravan MUST have purpose built fitted sleeping facilities and either fitted cooking or washing facilities.
• Any converted vehicles must clearly be live-in vehicles. (Unfortunately, a van with a piece of foam cut to size for a bed and bucket for washing does not qualify).
• A team of campsite staff and security will be checking the vehicles live in facilities.
• Those in unsuitable vehicles, including unconverted vans, with tickets for the campervan fields will be denied entry and asked to park in the festival car parks. As it is contrary to our licence, security patrols will not permit sleeping in any vehicle in these car parks.
• There is space for one car to be parked beside the caravan. Any other member of your party arriving by car will need to park in the festival car parks.
• A trailer tent must be purpose built and manufacturer made.
• All vehicles longer than 7 metres must purchase two campervan/caravan field tickets to cover the extra space required.
