Camping

Stay by the lake for the whole of Archfest. Bring your own tent, let us put one up for you, or roll in with your own van.

Included with camping tickets

General camping

Every Archfest camping ticket comes with a space to pitch your own tent. Choose your level when you buy your ticket — each one has its own campsite.

  • Standard — main campsite
  • Silver — quieter, closer to the arena
  • Gold — our best spot, by the hospitality area
  • Toilets, showers and water points

Camping FAQs

Questions

Do I still need a festival ticket?

Yes. Dome tents and vehicle pitches are accommodation only — everyone staying needs an Archfest camping ticket too.

Can I camp next to my friends?

In General Camping, arrive together and pitch together. For vehicle pitches, arrive at the same time and book the same pitch size and type.

Can I bring a gazebo?

Not in the vehicle field — only awnings attached to your vehicle are allowed, and they must fit within your pitch.
