Camping at the festival costs 25 euros per person for the entire 3 days.

Camping in the tent city is reserved only for festival visitors.
‍
Campsites are divided into sectors, separated by paths - corridors. Please respect the safety escape gaps when setting up your tent and do not block natural paths.

Camping in the camp corridors, in the parking lot, and outside of designated areas is prohibited - tents erected in this way will be packed up with accessories and stored at the Camp Manager's station in the nearest tent city, where owners can pick them up after identification.

In the tent cities, as well as throughout the festival area, the following is prohibited:
1.⁠ ⁠to light a fire to use open-fire stoves
2.⁠ ⁠Explosives of any kind, including fireworks
3.⁠ ⁠Entry by car into the camping zone
4.⁠ ⁠If you smoke, smoke carefully and extinguish the cigarette thoroughly.

There are water barrels and first aid buckets in the campsites in case of fire. In case of fire, contact the security service, the organizing service or the fire department immediately - several fire trucks are stationed at the festival.

If you throw away your waste, try to use the nearest container, or leave your waste wrapped in plastic bags. When you leave, please tie up the bags and take them to the nearest container or large-capacity container, or leave them on site.

The organizers are not responsible for the safety of things in the tent city, so we recommend not leaving valuables, money, etc. in the tents. If you have valuables with you, use the storage facilities (you can purchase a Lock Inn safety box, which includes two electrical outlets, here).

The campsites are equipped with sanitary facilities and drinking water tanks.

Please follow the instructions of the organizers.
