Wondering what camping at Camp Wildfire is actually like? Your ticket includes access to our General Camping area, where you can pitch your own tent and soak up the full festival camping experience.
If you fancy a bit more comfort (or want to skip the setup entirely), we also offer upgrades like Pre-Pitched Tents, Live-In Vehicle pitches and Boutique Camping — but most campers choose to bring their own tent and pitch up in General Camping.
Accommodation Options in General Camping
Bring Your Own Tent: Grab your tent, find a spot in the General Camping area, and pitch it wherever you like. There are no fixed size restrictions, but we ask that tents are reasonable for your group size so there's enough space for everyone. Leave plenty of room for your neighbours and keep walkways clear.
Reserved Camping Pitch (Upgrade at an additional cost): Want guaranteed space for your group? Pitches come in two sizes: 6m x 4m and 8m x 6m. Your tent and any guy ropes, porches, or awnings must fit entirely within your reserved pitch — please check your tent dimensions against the pitch size before booking. If you're unsure whether your tent will fit, get in touch with our team and we'll help.
Pre-Pitched Tents (Upgrade at an additional cost): Perfect if you're new to camping or just want to skip the setup and get straight into the fun.
Facilities in General Camping
General Camping is kitted out with everything you need for a comfortable stay:
Toilets & Showers: Serviced regularly.
Cooking Areas: So you can prepare your own meals if you want to.
Food Traders
General Store & Wildkind Stores: For essentials and camping supplies.
Bar & Café
Picnic Tables
Top tip: Toilets and showers are busiest early morning and early evening. If you can dodge those peak times, you'll breeze through.
Additional Camping Areas (No pre-booking required)
Quiet Camping Area: Prefer a calmer vibe? Look for the designated signs when you arrive. If daytime or evening noise is likely to bother you, Quiet Camping is your best bet — it's designed to be more peaceful throughout the weekend (though it's still part of a lively event!).
Solo Camping Area: Coming on your own? This is a dedicated space for individual campers to feel welcome and comfortable. Signs will point you in the right direction.
Key Information
Quiet Hours: 11pm-7am
We want you to have the best weekend ever — but General Camping is a shared space, so keep noise levels down overnight. Lots of people will be up bright and early for activities!
A few simple rules for quiet hours:
No speakers or amplified music
Keep voices low
Take any late-night chatting to Base Camp
Outside quiet hours, the campsite will naturally be lively — people moving around, chatting, and excitedly heading to and from activities and entertainment.
If excessive noise from other campers is keeping you awake during quiet hours and you don't feel comfortable speaking to someone directly, drop our team a message on WhatsApp (+1 555 812 9924) and we'll do our best to help.
Car Parking
Cars must be parked in the designated car park. Parking next to your tent isn't allowed — this is for health and safety reasons, including keeping emergency routes clear.
Even if you've parked next to your tent at other events or campsites, this isn't possible at Camp Wildfire — and it won't change.
The car park is just a 5–10 minute walk from the General Camping area.
Top tip: A trolley or wheeled bag can be a lifesaver for getting your gear to the campsite. We also have a porter service — they'll wheel your things in for you in a wheelbarrow for a small fee.
Gazebos and Electricity
Gazebos are not allowed in the General Camping area.
Electrical hookups are not available in General Camping.
Entry to General Camping: ticket holders only
To keep things secure and running smoothly, only ticket holders can enter General Camping. That means friends or family who aren't attending won't be able to come in to help set up tents.
We know this can feel frustrating, but it keeps the event safe, fair, and manageable for everyone.
The good news? The Wildfire community is famously friendly — if you need a hand, nearby campers are often happy to help. Our Rangers are always around to lend a hand too.
Good to Know Before You Go
General Camping is a shared, first-come, first-served camping field, which means:
You choose your spot when you arrive.
Unless you've booked a Pre-Pitched Tent or Reserved Camping Pitch, there are no marked-out pitches in General Camping.
Camping spots will naturally fill up as the day goes on.
Choosing your spot
Some areas are more popular than others — it really depends on what you're after. For example:
Some campers like to be close to toilets, showers and/or Base Camp.
Others prefer a bit more distance for extra peace and quiet.
Some ground is flatter than others, and some areas can feel busier depending on foot traffic.
Arriving Later?
If you arrive later in the day, you may need to camp in whatever space is still available. If having a particular spot matters to you, we'd recommend:
Arriving earlier to get more choice, or
Booking a Reserved Camping Pitch for guaranteed space.
Noise & Infrastructure (event reality!)
Like all large events, Camp Wildfire relies on generators and servicing vehicles to keep everything running.
This means:
Some camping areas may be closer to generators, which can be noisy.
Toilets are cleaned and serviced in the early hours, while most people are asleep.
You may hear occasional vehicles or activity overnight.
If you're a light sleeper, we'd really recommend bringing earplugs and camping a little further from facilities, walkways, and service roads if you can.
Rangers
Our Rangers (in purple shirts) will be around during peak arrival times to help guide you to available camping spots — but they can't:
Reserve spaces
Move other tents
Hold spots for friends arriving later
Top tip: If you're arriving at peak times, come with a flexible mindset and be ready to pitch wherever there's space.
FAQS
Do I need to bring my own tent?
Do I need to bring my own tent?
Yes — if you're using General Camping, you'll need to bring your own tent and find a spot to pitch it.
Can I stay off-site and come in each day?
Can I stay off-site and come in each day?
Camp Wildfire is a residential weekend event — your ticket covers the full weekend and is built around staying on site. We don't offer day tickets or separate day entry, and there's no way to leave and re-enter the site each day like you might at a day festival.
If you have specific circumstances that mean camping on site isn't practical for you (for example, pregnancy, a medical condition, or caring responsibilities), get in touch with our team via live chat or at office@campwildfire.co.uk and we'll do our best to talk through the options with you.
