Sunrise Camp, on the other site of the lake opposite the festival site, Silent Camp, directly outside of the festival before the unicorn gate, and our village Car Park for secured parking only.
Cars, campers and caravans must possess a special ticket for the respective zone. Here is all the information you need about the campings and the prices.
