Where to stay

For the true festival spirit, you should stay at the festival camp - a large tent camp right in the middle of the festival site, with everything you need within a few hundred metres.

Do you prefer a good night’s sleep after a long day of music and dancing? If so, Hove Camping, a 10 minute walk away from the festival grounds, is your choice. This is a large campsite with its own beach. It is also possible to rent a cabin here.

You will also find other types of accommodation in the region. However you wish to stay, we strongly recommend that you book your accommodation as early as possible.
