Camping Facilities
Pitches are unmarked, unreserved and are on relatively flat ground. They are no more than 10 minutes from the main festival field.
​
We have a separate area for camping if you are in a tent or camping vehicle (roof tent, caravan, van etc). If you are staying in a camping vehicle you will be permitted to have one small tent.
If you are a mixed group with both tents and camping vehicles, that's absolutely fine. All we ask is that there is a space of 6 meters between your vehicle and nearest tent. This is to comply with fire safety. If we are not able to have a safe space between tents and cars, you will be asked to move your car.
​
Toilets, handwashing and drinking water are all available. There is no electricity, we advise that you bring torches and portable power packs to charge devices.
​
There is limited phone signal however we have internet provided by Wessex Internet. This will be strongest in the main festival field.​
​
You are welcome to use gas/ portable stoves but please keep them at least one metre from your tent and vehicle. Sadly, open fires and BBQ's are not permitted for safety reasons.​ On your arrival, please note the location of the fire point and the clacker to raise the alarm.​
Site access & parking
On Friday, you will be able to access the site from 12:00pm until 6:00pm.
On Saturday, you will be able to leave and enter the campsite between 8:00am and 12:00pm.
On Sunday we ask that everyone has left the site by 12:00pm so our team of hard working volunteers can start to pack up.
If you arrive outside of these times on either day you are able to park in the top field (day parking) and move your vehicle when the access re-opens. The access across the site is via a steep single track road so please follow the instruction of our crew who are working hard to manage this.​
​
​
One car can be parked with each camping pitch. If you are in a larger group with multiple cars, you will only be permitted to have one of these. You will need to park the remaining vehicles in the top field. This is free of charge.
The Camping Team
We want everyone to have a brilliant time so our camping and safety team are always on hand. They will be ready to check you in so please have your tickets ready.
​
Part of DorsetFest's charm is that it is on a working farm. This means that we ask for you to remove all of your own rubbish and ensure no-one wonders beyond the marked areas. There are hazards that may not be immediately obvious but require those areas to be fenced off. All buildings are private property and you are not permitted to enter whether they are marked as a hazard or not.
​
We also love being able to have so many young people. To make sure everyone has a good time anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult on a ratio of 1:3. Children must be supervised at all times.
