About our Campsite

Our campsite is located adjacent to the event site on the stunning grounds of the Port Eliot Estate. We have procured this unique location to provide affordable camping for our guests despite our events being held at peak-summer in Cornwall, when the majority of local camp sites and other accommodation are fully booked or extremely expensive!

Our camp site is on a grass field directly next to the event. If you have a campervan or motorhome you can erect an awning. 

Weekend Camping tickets are available which include camping and festival access in a single ticket. If you’re not sure whether you will be camping or decide later; you can purchase Camping Add-On tickets in our ticket shop.

This camping guide is being updated by our team regularly with answers to common questions, so please check back prior to your arrival.
