Info for Campers

About our Campsite

Our campsite is located at the top of St George’s Hill at Perranporth Airfield (Note- This is NOT the Anchor Barrow Campsite!). We have procured this unique location to provide affordable camping for our guests despite the festival 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 split into two sections; an area on grass for tents and a tarmac area adjacent to this for campervans. Please note that as the campervan area is situated on tarmac, it is not suitable for awnings which require soft ground for pegging.

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.

Opening hours

The campsite opening hours for arrivals are:

Thursday – 6pm to 10pm
Friday – 8am to 10pm
Saturday – 8am to 10pm
Sunday – 8am to 10pm
Campsite closes at mid-day on Monday.

Please note that the campsite vehicle gates will be locked overnight from 10pm to 8am each day. Overnight access to the campsite will be permitted only via our shuttle bus or on foot.

Our campsite is staffed by our security team 24/7, so in the event of any personal emergency you will be able to exit the campsite in your vehicle by speaking to our security team, however you will not be permitted to re-enter until the campsite vehicle gates re-open.

Arrival

When you arrive in your vehicle, our campsite staff will ask you to show them your camping ticket. We recommend showing this on your phone if possible (no need to print your ticket!). If you’re camping, you will then be directed to park your vehicle in the campsite parking area. Campervans will be directed to the campervan area. You are then free to set up your tent and get comfortable before catching the shuttle bus to the festival site, where you will need to show your tickets to collect your green campsite wristband. You will not be allowed to re-enter the campsite without your camping wristband.

Please note that no vehicles will be permitted directly in the camping area. The camping car park is located close by, and help is on hand to help you carry your bags…

We will have a team of very strong and helpful scouts with trolleys help you transport your stuff from your vehicle to your pitching spot. These scouts are raising money for a good cause – please tip generously!

Parking for all campers and campervans. A separate car parking area is available for those with tents; whilst campervans will be directed to our campervan / motorhome area.

Shuttle Bus Donations

We will be asking for a £2 donation per round-trip on our shuttle bus which can be paid when boarding the bus from the campsite. Your kind and generous donation will go to the Scouts Foundation who will be on site volunteering and assisting anyone at need.

Return trips from the beach to the campsite are free and you do not need a ticket.
