CAMPING

​​

We have a lovely camping area, which can easily accommodate all you lovely festival goers!  We have colour zoned the site, which means that motorhomes and campervans will be placed in one area, with tents in another.  

The campsite is located near the main festival field. On arrival you will be directed to the onsite parking area. From here you must carry your tents etc to the nearby tenting area. It’s not a long walk, but trolleys are recommended. Cars must be kept separate to tents except in the disabled camping area.

Cars are only allowed to leave the site after arrival in emergency situations such as family health care, dog care and things out of your control.

For the Safety off everyone we recommend that you stay onsite and only leave if absolutely necessary. If you leave and return and the security, feel you are intoxicated under the influence of drugs or alcohol you will not be allowed back in and maybe reported. This is to safeguard the Appfest community, our license and future events. Reentry will not be permitted after 6pm under any circumstances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. People arriving at the venue to check into the camping area must arrive by 7pm Thursday and Friday and midday on Saturday. Day Tickets must be onsite by 5pm daily
