CHECK-IN
Our campsite will be open from 5pm on Thursday night so that you can get set up and ready for the festival site opening on Friday morning. You’ll be able to check in to the campsite at the following times:
The campsite will close at 16:00 on Sunday 14th September. Please make sure you take all your belongings with you.
There are toilets, showers, and water available on the campsite. There may be queues for facilities during peak times.
We do not provide electric hook ups in the campsite, and personal generators (including on board generators) are not permitted.
Once you have checked-in, we will direct you to our boutique glamping area where Yippee Tents will be on hand to show you to your tent. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the festival without the hassle of pitching your tent. Plus, enjoy your own exclusive showers and toilets.
Please bear in mind, you will need to contact Yippee Tents directly if you have any queries about tents, accessories, or equipment that they have provided.
Free parking is available to all ticket holders. When you arrive at Blackpit, follow the signs to the car park. Remember, you can’t drive onto the campsite with your car.
When you arrive, please follow the signs to live-in vehicle parking. Caravans and motorhomes will be in a separate area to tent camping, within a short walk of the facilities and main festival site.
Pitches are approximately 7m x 8m, and your entire camp including any vehicles and awnings must fit within this pitch. Please note, freestanding tents are not allowed within the live-in camping area.
Chemical waste disposal is available onsite.
