To stay in the Eco Camp every guest has to sign up to the following principles:

  1. All guests agree to respect their fellow campers: Be inclusive and curious, talk about what is important to you, and enjoy the festival together.
  2. All guests agree to respect the environment by protecting biodiversity and avoiding littering: Separate your recyclable materials, use the toilets provided, and don’t cause excess waste.
  3. All guests agree to leave the campsite exactly as they found it: Everyone here has joined the call, take your tent home, and show the way forward.

Quiet Campsite

For those of you who fancy a little extra shut-eye and a break from the party atmosphere of the standard campsites…

Quiet Camp is a dedicated area in the standard campsites, located within Orange. You must book your free spot in advance alongside your Weekend or Weekend + Early Entry festival ticket.

If you’re staying in this campsite we ask that you keep noise to a minimum after 1am, including turning off any portable speakers.

Please respect your campsite neighbour’s need for sleep by observing the quiet time – Remember tent walls aren’t as thick as your walls back home! If you fancy a late-night party we would ask you to head to the silent disco stage.

Please note some noise caused by festival production / vehicles / the general buzz of an outdoor camping festival will be unavoidable.

Campervan and Caravan Passes

Campervan and Caravan Passes for 2024 are available here.

Every occupant of the campervan must also be in the possession of a valid Weekend Ticket to the event.

The campervan mirror hanger (your pass) must be displayed inside your vehicle windscreen before you arrive on site, so that we are able to direct you to the right place.

No vehicles are permitted in the standard campsites and only towing vehicles for caravans are permitted in the campervan fields.

You will not be permitted to sleep in the standard car parks.

There are no electrical hook-ups for campervans anywhere on site.

Campervans cannot be parked with tents in the campsite. They will be located in one end of the campsite to comply with non-negotiable licence conditions.

If you are not clear if your vehicle constitutes a campervan, see our terms and conditions.

Campervan Size Restrictions

  • Due to space restrictions at Rockstar Energy presents Reading Festival, White Campervan passes must be booked in advance and are not available to purchase on the gate

    Delivery fees will apply for campervan passes to receive your mirror hanger by post. You will need to be in possession of this mirror hanger BEFORE departing for the festival.
