Camping Info...
All camping is free at Larmer Tree Festival for tents, caravans and campervans, read on for more info...
For the updated 2010 Campsite Map, please scroll down.
All camping (tents, caravans and campervans) is included in the ticket price, and is available for the date/s on your ticket only. For example, if you have a 3-day ticket you may not arrive on Thursday night. (Please don't arrive early as we won't be able to let you in - for info about an alternative campsite in a nearby village call the Festival Office on 01725 552300.)
The festival is open from 3pm on Wednesday 14th July and from 9am on Thursday 15th-Sunday 18th. The Larmer Tree campsites are right next to the festival site. The campsite closes at midday on Monday 19th July.
There are two separate fields for camping, one for tents, and a separate one for caravans, campervans and trailer tents.
Parking
Parking is free and it's not more than a five/ten minute walk to the festival entrance. There are allocated parking areas for those camping in tents (in a slightly different location this year) - for everyone's safety we do not allow cars to unload or stop in roadways or to be parked next to tents. Cars pulling caravans/trailer tents can be parked alongside them in the caravan/campervan field. Please try to keep the number of vehicles you bring to the festival to a minimum and help to reduce the impact of the festival on the environment and local communities.
The Larmer ‘Express’
Although both campsites are very close to the festival, The Larmer Express is back again this year - to help transport you from the campsites if the heat gets just too much for you(!) This service is kindly provided by 1st Woodcutts Scouts - it is free, but donations are welcome as they are raising money to build a brand new scout hut!
Caravans and Campervans
Space in the caravan/campervan field is free and you don’t need to book a place. However we do need to know if someone else is delivering for you, which must be arranged in advance - call 01725 552300 or e-mail info@larmertreefestival.co.uk. There will be room beside your caravan/campervan/trailer tent for one or two tents for family and friends.
Tent Field - Mr Trolley helps you out!
New this year, Mr Trolley will be providing a trolley hire service to help you carry all your stuff from your car to your camping spot and back. There will be a hire point near the car park where you can hire a trolley, load up and ease into the festival without straining your back! The trolleys have a loadspace of 1220mm x 635mm, big enough to carry roughly three people’s gear. After paying a deposit you are provided with a trolley with three bungees and safe use of the trolley is explained. When a trolley is returned, the duration of hire time and price is calculated. The cost of the hire is then deducted from the deposit and the remainder returned to you.
Hire charges - deposit for trolley and bungees £50*, 30 minutes (minimum hire) £5, additional 30 minutes £5. *The deposit is £44 for loss of the trolley and £2 for the loss of a bungee (x 3)
Opening times - Wednesday: 3pm-8pm, Thursday: 9am-8pm, Friday: 9am-8pm, Saturday: sorry closed, Sunday: 9am-8pm, Monday: 8am-12pm

Facilities
There is plenty of space and with panoramic views of the countryside (you can actually see The Needles on the Isle of Wight!) With our award winning toilets, free hot showers, ample water points (in both fields) and the Larmer Lock-Up, café and shops (in the tent field), your camping experience should be a happy and relaxing one.
Cooking and Fires
Open fires and candles are strictly forbidden for safety reasons. You may use gas or charcoal burning BBQs, but not disposable BBQs - they are an extreme fire risk. Please make sure gas canisters aren't changed inside tents or caravans.
Chinese Lanterns
We know they are beautiful, but unfortunately Chinese lanterns have to be banned at the festival - the fire, paper and wire make-up of the lanterns puts the gardens, local village thatched properties and livestock at risk. Please help us to keep the festival and surrounding countryside safe by not using them.
Water
There are plenty of drinking water points throughout the campsites and festival. To conserve water we can't allow paddling pools, and please don't waste water on water bombs or water balloons.
Security of Cars, Tents and Property
Our stewarding team and professional security company will keep a watchful eye on the camping fields 24-hours a day, however we cannot accept responsibility for any losses that may occur. We recommend that you don't bring any valuables with you - if it's absolutely necessary, keep them on you at all times. You can also take advantage of the secure Larmer Lock-Up to store away your cash, other valuables and bags or musical instruments you don't want to carry with you all day. See our Welfare section for more advice on security issues and personal safety.
Day Ticket Holders
Day ticket holders can camp on the nights you have a valid ticket for in either the tent field or the caravan/campervan field. You can afford to lie in a little as you can camp until 11am the morning after your ticket expires. Please don't turn up the night before your ticket is valid as we won't be able to let you onto the site.
Disabled Parking & Camping Area
The disabled campsite is close to the festival entrance, has adapted toilets (also available within the festival site) and is available to those who book a place in advance. Camping and parking places are limited, so to let us know about your needs, check on facilities and request a space, please contact us on 01725 552300 or e-mail info@larmertreefestival.co.uk.
