Camping

The campground will be open to ticket-holders from noon on Wednesday 28 July.The actual festival site will be open from 4pm Thursday 29 July. Most venues excluding the main stages will be operating including food outlets.

There are no campgrounds or caravan parks in Woodford and sleeping in vehicles in local streets and roadsides is prohibited so camping is recommended.

General camping Information

• Campsites are big enough for a tent and a car -there is a rule of thumb of one car per three to four person tent. There is strictly limited space for parking so car-pooling is recommended.
• Each person in a vehicle entering the campground must have an event-and-camping ticket.
• For people wanting to camp alongside friends it is suggested meeting up before entering the campground  and arriving together.
• Campsites allocated by Splendour staff.
• Overly elaborate campsites not permitted. No couches and large furniture items permitted.
• A general store will operate in the campground near the main festival entry.
• Basic shower and toilet facilities will be provided.   
• In each camp area there will be two designated marshals who will be available for any questions or help needed.
• Fires are not allowed in the campground but there will be supervised communal bonfires at a few locations throughout the campgrounds and event area.
• Campers are advised to come prepared for all weather.
•  Any unruly behaviour will not be tolerated. Any unruly behaviour may result in removal from the site.
• Camping areas are designated quiet zones from 10pm onwards.
• Don’t leave valuables in cars, or in and around tents. Any suspicious behaviour should be reported to the area marshal, security or police.
• Police will conduct regular patrols of the campground, in addition to the presence of festival staff and security personnel.
• Avoid driving out of the festival site at peak arrival times from Wed-Sat.
• Camper trailers and moderately sized campervans and caravans are permitted. Large motor-homes or Winnebagos are not. Campervans up to 7.5m in total length and caravans up to 6m in length are allowed, anything larger will not be allowed as they will not fit on a campsite.

On-site tent motel

Erected tents and beds will be available for hire on site at the festival. This service will be operated by a separate company. Details of the tent hire company will be available soon. People are required to purchase Splendour event-camping ticket first and then book the hire tent (at an additional cost).

Facilities

Toilet and shower facilities are adequately basic.  Peak times for shower queues are in the mornings and later afternoons.

Campgrounds

Because of limited use it is not possible to provide perfectly level campsites with well manicured lawns.  Several thousand trees have been planted in the camping grounds over the last five years but are mostly too small to provide good shade just yet.

Weather

The festival is conducted in the middle of winter. The weather can range from warm days (19° to 24°) through to chilly nights (3° to 9°). Campers should prepare accordingly, with a special note that warm clothing is still a must. Check out the weather forecast.

Water

Water is a precious commodity at Woodfordia as the site is self-sufficient and takes all its water from on-site tanks.  Attendees are asked to conserve water in the following ways: limit of one shower a day, turn the water off while brushing teeth and bring water with them.

Suggestions for a comfortable campsite:

Consider the watercourse. When pitching a tent, consider where water will naturally flow in the event of rain.

Raise bedding off the ground. A fold-up camp stretcher allows air circulation and protects bedding from any water that may enter the tent.  Keeping personal belongings off the ground is also a good idea – a fold-up chair makes a great wardrobe or table.

All tap water on-site is potable but for conservation and  convenience attendees are asked to please bring all the water they’ll need for the duration.

There is no electricity available on-site for patron’s campsites unless they require it for life-support equipment (disabled camping area).

The campgrounds need to accommodate a large number of people so attendees are asked to please keep campsites small and conserve space wherever possible.

Limit one car per campsite in the campgrounds. Other cars should be parked in the front car park.

Theft can be a problem as at any large event, so it is advised to not bring anything of value to the festival other than what is absolutely necessary.  All valuables remain the responsibility of the camper.

No fires or animals are allowed in the campgrounds or on the festival site.

Campsites near the festival entrance and in other areas hear music from the festival precinct until the late hours of the night and fellow campers may be up and about all day and night. Attendees are advised to bring earplugs if they are light sleepers.

Youth policy

With potentially 20,000 people camping on site and 30,000 in attendance overall, the safety and enjoyment of everyone at Splendour inthe Grass is  very important. Particularly younger patrons.

To ensure a proper level of security and safety for all attending the festival, especially those who are under 18, Splendour has introduced a revised youth ticketing policy which forms part of the conditions of entry for both the event and camping areas. This policy is in line with other events held at Woodfordia.

Details of the policy are as follows:

• All minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian aged 25 years or older at all times (within reason) whilst at the festival, whether in the campground or the entertainment area.
• Children aged 11 and under are admitted free and must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian (over over 25) at all times. Those aged 12 or older must buy a ticket.
• A parent or guardian may accompany a maximum of three youth patrons only.
• Each guardian must present valid proof of age at the festival entry gate to show that they are aged 25 years or older.
• Any patron under the age of 18 will be refused entry if their nominated guardian is not present with them at the festival entry gate to accompany them into and around the festival.
• It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure that all youth patrons accompanying them comply with instructions issued by festival staff and/or contained in all permanent and temporary signage throughout the festival site.
• All parents/guardians must camp with the youths that they accompany.
• Patrons under the age of 18 must not engage in any illegal or disruptive activities whilst on site. This includes underage drinking, use of illicit substances or any generally disruptive behaviour.
• If a youth is evicted, their parent/guardian and all other accompanying minors will also be evicted.
• Any breach of the these conditions may result in the eviction of the parent/guardian and all accompanying minors from the festival site.
